{ IVe Normands, is a French variety, and 

 }argely cultivated here. It stands more dry 

 weather than the other varieties, and has 

 large and pure white heads. Not so popu- 

 lar as the Half Early Paris in this market, 

 bat there is no good reason why it should 

 *ot be, as it is an excellent kind in every 

 respect; stands the heat better than any 

 •ther. 

 I/arge Algiers. A French variety of 

 * the same season as the Le Normands, but 

 a surer producer. It is one of the best

troduced. It has become the leading 

 market variety. 

 l 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. 

 U lyate Italian Giant This is the 

 ^largest of all Cauliflowers, and grown to 

 a considerable extent in the neighbor-

 months before it heads. 

 I Early Snowball. An extra early 

 fdwarf variety similar to the Dwarf Er- 

 furt; good to sow for late in spring. It 

 will produce flowers as early as the Extra

 from being crowded too much together.

 kind of recent introduction. It is of a ,' in weight to the acre than any other Half
