Large Algiers Cauliflower. 



EARLY SNOWBALL.— A fine variety, 

 great favorite and standard throughout the 

 country; very early, «lose growing, of com- 

 pact habit. It is without doubt one of the 

 most satisfactory early varieties. The 

 heads are large. For early or late planting, 

 for the family or the market garden this 

 variety can be depended upon for excellent 

 results. 



LARGE ALGIERS. — A French variety 

 of the same season as the Le Normands. 

 It is one of the best kinds, and has taken 

 the place of other second early varieties 

 since it has been introduced. 



LATE ITALIAN GIANT.— This is the 

 largest of all Cauliflowers, and grown to 

 considerable extent in the South. It is very 

 large and compact; should not be sown 

 later than June, as it takes from seven to 

 nine months before it heads. 



EARLY ITALIAN GIANT.— Very large 

 fine sort, not quite so late as the Late 

 Italian and almost as large. The heads are 

 quite large, white and compact, and of 

 delicious flavor. We recommend it to all 

 who have not tried it. When sown at the 

 proper season, it will head with certainty 

 and will not fail to give satisfaction. 



EXTRA EARLY PARIS. — Reliable early 

 variety. Good for forcing; produces a good 

 head; dwarf habit; solid, pure white curd 

 of superior quality. Should be planted 

 very early. 



LE NORMANDS. — Is a French variety, 

 and largely cultivated. It stands more dry 

 weather than the other varieties, and has 

 large and pure white heads. 



HALF EARLY PARIS. — The most popu- 

 lar of early varieties. Heads good size, 

 white and compact.
