HENDERSON'S SNOWBALL CAULIFLOWER 



Beyond All Question the Best — Excellent for Forcing — Indispensable for the Spring Crop — Incomparably the Best for Fall 



All successful Market Growers know that it is imperative to use 

 a carefully selected strain of seed, and that it is worse than useless 

 to plant cheap Cauliflower seed. No seed crop is grown with 

 greater care than Henderson's Snowball Cauliflower. The result 

 has been just as satisfactory to us as to our customers as during our 

 entire experience, it has never failed to come up to its high stand- 

 ard, nor have we ever received a well-founded complaint regarding 

 the quality of the stock. On the contrary, we are continually re- 

 ceiving letters testifying to its general excellence. 



The constant and ever increasing demand for our own genuine

A HENDERSON INTRODUCTION 

 The Earliest Quality Cauliflower Ever Offered 



Shown in colors on page 2 of cover 

 This is an ideal type for market growers. It possesses many 

 of the characteristics of our famous Snowball — good form, good 

 size, great depth, and above all, a beautiful snow-white, firm head 

 free from ricyness or leafyness. The plant is sturdy; the foliage 

 of fine conformation, the inner leaves being incurved give ample 

 protection to the developing flower. Primosnow is the earliest 

 high quality cauliflower that has ever been developed. It is ready 

 to cut fully 8 to 10 days before such strains as Snowball or Erfurt 

 and the _ qualification that is of utmost importance to market 

 growers is, that on account of its uniformity, the 'entire crop may 

 be cut at one time. Price, yi oz. $1.50, Yi oz. $2.76, 1 oz. $5.00.

 demonstrates its superiority over all others. 



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, vigor- 

 ous habit, and the whiteness of its perfectly-formed flowers. 



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

 grained curds. Price, oz. $6.00. 



HENDERSON'S SUPERB STRAIN OF EXTRA EARLY 



DWARF ERFURT 



One of the very best varieties for field cultivation, especially 

 for late crops. It heads with great certainty, and under ordinary 

 conditions produces large, deep and very solid white "flowers." 

 The plant is large, sturdy and robust in growth, with short broad 

 leaves which furnish ample protection to the "flower." This is 

 of the finest quality. Price, oz. $2.25, M lb. $8.00, lb. $30.00.
