LARGE ALGIERS.—A French variety 
of the same season as the Le Normands. 
It is one of the best kinds. 
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. When sown at the proper 
season, it will head with certainty and will 
not fail to give satisfaction. 
LATE ITALIAN GIANT.—This is the 
largest of all Cauliflowers, and grown to 
considerable extent. It is very large and 
compact; should not be sown later than 
June, as it takes from seven to nine months 
before it heads. 
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. 
HALF EARLY PABIS.—The most popu- 
lar of early varieties. Heads good size, 
white and compact.
