HENDERSON'S 



SNOWBALL CAULIFLOWER 



(ILLUSTRATED IN COLOR O.N THE OPPOSITE PAGE) 



The Cauliflower of Character — It Heads Where Others Fail 



EXCELLENT FOR FORCING— INDI ENSABLE FOR SPRING CROP— INCOMPARABLY THE BEST FOR FALL 



Beyond all question, Henderson's Snowball is the one perfect 

 Cauliflower for the American gardener. There is none to equal 

 it in value for forcing under glass for a winter crop, for which 

 it is especially adapted by reason of its compact, upright habit, 

 quick growth, and sure-heading quality. 



Henderson's Snowball Cauliflower, grown from seed sown 

 under glass in February and transplanted after frost, will produce 

 perfect heads of snowy whiteness in the open ground by June 1st. 



In most sections of the United States, the best and most satis- 

 factory crop is grown from seed sown outdoors about May 20th 

 and transplanted during July, so that the plants make their best 

 growth during the cooler months. For this crop, Henderson's 

 Snowball is unsurpassed. 



For all purposes and at all seasons, it has become indispensable. 

 Critical market growers use it in ever-increasing quantities, 

 while the amateur and private gardener find it equally valuable 

 at all seasons, owing to its reliability in heading, its strong, 



vigorous habit, and the whiteness of its perfectly-formed flowers 

 It is without doubt' the ideal Cauliflower, perfect in size, in 

 reliability, in color, and in quality. 



Although Cauliflower may be grown as easily as Cabbage, 

 many, through lack of knowledge of some essentials, are liable 

 to failure. We urge those who are not familiar with its cultiva- 

 tion to read carefully the pamphlet we have prepared on Cabbage 

 and Cauliflower growing, wherein we have tried to point the way 

 to success. We may say here briefly, that success depends on 

 growing a large plant, and that as Cauliflower is essentially a 

 cool weather plant, this cannot be done in the hot summer 

 months; therefore, the earliest outdoor crop must be grown from 

 seed sown under glass in February, so that the crop will mature 

 by June 1st; for fall use, it should be sown late in May, so that 

 the best development may be made during the cooler weather 

 of September and October. (See Colored illustration opposite,
