 Super -Standard 



/Earliest Snowball. 



Days to maturity, 95. Introduced by Hen- 

 derson in 1878. This is the earliest Cauliflower 

 under cultivation, and, being a sure-heading 

 variety, it has gained immense popularity. Be- 

 cause of the excellence of our strain, we have ad- 

 mitted it to the Super-Standard classification, 

 and a further description of it will be found on 

 page 2 of this catalogue. Price, large pkt. 25 cts., 

 oz. $1.75, y4lb. $6.50, lb. $25.00, delivered. 



Danish Dry Weather. Y^j; '°jZXc'Ii 



under this name by Burpee in 1899. Apparently 

 there is little difference between this variety and 

 Danish Giant, which is often used as a synonym. 

 The name Danish Dry Weather was given it be- 

 cause of its adaptability to hot, dry growing condi- 

 tions. It will very often prove successful in cases 

 where all other varieties fail and we would espe- 

 cially recommend it for plantations inland more than 

 two hundred miles from the seacoasts. Price, large 

 pkt. 25c., oz. $1.50, y^lh. $5.50, lb. $20.00, delivered. 



BRUSSELS SPROUTS 



(Brassica oleracea var. gemmifera.) Nativeof Northern Europe. Under cultivation probably for at least 500 years. 

 German, Rosenkohl; Italian, Cavolo di Brusselles; Polish, Latorvil 

 One ounce of seed produces about 6,500 plants 



Days to maturity, 125. This strain having been grown on Long Island, 

 is the common varietal trade name of Brussels Sprouts in this country. 

 We believe it to be suited for all kind of commercial purposes. It will produce a stalk about 23^ feet high, 

 bearing axillary buds along the stem. The culture of Brussels Sprouts is similar to that of late cabbage. 

 Care should be taken to break down the lower leaves in the early fall, in order that the small heads may 

 properly develop. Price, large pkt. 10 cts., oz. 20 cts., Vilb. 60 cts., lb. $2.00, 10 lbs. $19.00, delivered.
