It Heads Where Others Fail. 



IT is hardly necessary for us to describe this 

 variety at all, as its name has now become 

 a heusehold word wherever this delicious 

 vegetable is grown. Henderson's Snow- 

 ball Cauliflower is the standard everywhere 

 for quality with the market gardener and the 

 amateur. While originally recommended and 

 used as an early variety, it has not only sup- 

 planted all other sorts for early spring plant- 

 ing, but it has largely driven out the large late 

 sorts for fall use, being much finer in quality, 

 and the one Cauliflower that is absolutely 

 certain to head when conditions are ordinarily 

 favorable, invariably forming a perfect snow- 

 white head, averaging not less than 9 inches 

 and often attaining a size of 10 to 12 inches in 

 diameter, and the "flower" is so compact, so 

 deep and solid that the heads will outweigh 

 those of any other strain. 



Henderson's Snowball Cauliflower is su- 

 perior to all others. It is the earliest of all 

 Cauliflowers. Its close-growing, compacthabit 

 enables one-third more to be planted on the 

 same space of ground than can be done with 

 othervarieties. For forcing under glass during 

 winter and spring Henderson's Snowball 

 is peculiarly well adapted, from its dwarf 

 growth and short outer leaves, and for this 

 purpose no other Cauliflower is now so largely 

 grown. (See cut.)

IF YOU HAD THE, TIME, AND WE HAD THE SPACE 



We could show thousands of letters similar to the following : 



'• Henderson's Snowball Cauliflower, I am sure, is the best kind in existence, no 

 matter bow loud and strong this and that seed bouse is praising theirs, claimingthem 

 as the best in the world. By my own experience, I know yours is far ahead of all others; 

 yours is not only the earliest but the surest heading Cauliflower, while other much- 

 lauded kinds were of no value." A. Katzwinkel, Market Gardener, Mendota, Bis. 



" I sowed your Snowball Cauliflower the 15th of February, in boxes inside, and 

 set the plants in the open ground as soon as free from frost, and picked good-sized 

 Cauliflowers the 10th of June — many were 10 to 12 inches in diameter and one 14 

 inches, and all perfect heads." M. C. Chadeayne, Ossining, N. T. 



" Tour Snowball Cauliflower was excellent in every respect; every plant formed a 



fine head, while right beside tbem I grew 1,000 plants from seed I got from 



which did not give me a dozen heads. I have bought several strains of Snowball 

 Cauliflower from different seedsmen, but 1 now see that 1 never get the true type of 

 Henderson's Snowball excepting from you." W. E. Aveby, Honesdale, Pa. 



"From one ounce of your Snowball Cauliflower seed I raised 3,500 plants. I have 

 tried Cauliflower seed from several seedsmen, but never have had any success except 

 vrith the true Henderson Snowball." Arthur L. Miller, Edella, Pa. 



" My Snowball Cauliflower grown from your seeds was a perfect success, both 

 outside and under glass, not one failing to head. Size and quality the best." 



James White, Gardener to Jesse Tyson, Esq., Melvale, Md. 



" Would say that I have tried so-called Snowball Cauliflower from other appar- 

 er.riy reliable houses than yours and invariably failed; indifferent localities, too. I 

 am now convinced that HENDERSON'S Snowball is a wonder." 



Geo. A. Merritt, Highland Mills, N. Y.
