323 SNOWBALL (Henderson's) 



Incomparably the Best for Spring 

 or Fall Crops. An Excellent Forcer. 

 It Has Won More Prizes Than Any 

 Other Variety In Cultivation 

 The Genuine is Obtainable Only Direct From Us 

 Beyond all question Henderson's Snowball is the one 

 perfect Cauliflower for the American gardener. In most 

 sections of the United States the best and most satisfactory 

 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. 



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. 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. For all purposes and at 

 all seasons it has become indispensable, 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. (See illustration.) 



Price, pkt. 25c; H oz. $2.25; oz. $4.00; X lb. $14.00;

320 GILT EDGE ERFURT 



A Sure Header — Ideal for Forcing 



A de luxe Cauliflower recommended particularly for its 

 superior forcing qualities. The heads are medium in size, 

 pure glistening white with very close compact finely grained 

 curds. The light grayish green leaves are small and com- 

 pact, which is one of the desirable characteristics that make 

 it so valuable for forcing as well as for growing in small 

 gardens where space is limited. It is a sure header, ideal, 

 in every way. 



Price, pkt. 50c; Yi oz. $5.00; oz. $8.00; transportation paid.

317 EXTRA EARLY DWARF ERFURT 



Until we introduced Snowball this was considered the best 

 early variety; plants dwarf and compact, forming good- 

 sized heads; fine for open ground, fall crop.

Henderson's 1932 Introduction 

 322 "PRIMOSNOW" 



The Earliest Quality Cauliflower Ever Offered 



This is an ideal type. It possesses many of the character- 

 istics 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. (See Colored Plate Opposite.) 

 Price, pkt. 50c; 3 pkts. for $1.25. 



326 SNOW KING (Henderson's) 



Produces Fine Medium Sized Heads on Poor 

 Land Where Tender Varieties Fail 



It is now possible for the small garden owner to grow ex- 

 cellent Cauliflower even in back yards and small gardens 

 where soil conditions are none too good. Snow King 

 possesses many valuable characteristics, one of the most 

 important of these is its Hardiness. It is also a winner 

 because of its Earliness. It matures very quickly, and is 

 fully two weeks earlier than Early Dwarf Erfurt. 



Snow King will also be enjoyed because of its delicious 

 flavor, its creamy whiteness, and prove to be an invaluable 

 addition to the dietary because of its high vitamin content. 

 The very dark green leaves, shorter tnan those of most 

 Cauliflowers, are strongly ribbed, which is a sure indication 

 of the hardiness of the plant, and its ability to survive very 

 trying conditions. They curl in at the top, thus protecting 

 the young heads. 



We therefore highly recommend Henderson's Snow 

 King Cauliflower for your 1934 garden. Price, pkt. 50c; 

 3 pkts. $1.25; 14 oz. $3.00; oz. $5.00. 



Beware of imitations. 



We have always controlled Henderson's Snowball Cauliflower and unless the seed is bought directly 

 from us you do not get the genuine, as we do not supply it to dealers.
