CAULIFLOWER 



1 oz. will produce about 2,000 plants 



Although Cauliflower may be grown as easily as Cabbage, we urge those who are not 

 familiar with its cultivation to ask for our free pamphlet, "Cultivation of the Cauliflower," 

 when ordering. 



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.

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.)

 furnish ample protection to the "flower."

Henderson's 1932 Introduction 

 The Earliest Quality Cauliflower Ever Offered 



This is an ideal type. 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 cauli- 

 flower that has ever been developed. It is ready to cut fully 8 

 to 10 days before such strains as Snowball or Erfurt. 

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

 "I would like to say that your Primosnow Cauliflower is the best 

 I have ever grown. I have grown it side by side with other varieties and 

 have always obtained better results, as it is at least eight days earlier. 

 The large white heads are heavy, smooth, compact, and absolutely free 

 of leaves."

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 excellent 

 Cauliflower even in back yards and small gardens where soil 

 conditions are none too good. Snow King possesses many val- 

 uable 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 than 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 1936 garden. Price, pkt., 50c; l A oz., $2.00; 

 oz., $3.50; transportation paid.
