WHAT GROWERS THINK 

 OF PRIMOSNOW 



Martin Heck, R.F.D., Ebenezer, 

 N. Y., states that 2 Ounces of Hen- 

 derson's Primosnow Caluiflower pro- 

 duced seven thousand (7,000) plants 

 and he cut every head at a time when 

 no one else on Buffalo Wholesale 

 Market had one head of flower. 



"I have been farming in St. 

 Joseph, Mo., since 1881 and I would 

 like to say that your Primosnow 

 Cauliflower is the best I have ever 

 grown. I have grown it side by side 

 with many 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." 



Fred Leucht, 

 St. Joseph, Mo. 



IMPORTANT— BT^w ARE of 



IMITATIONS. We have always con- 

 trolled Henderson's Snowball and 

 Primosnow Cauliflower, any state- 

 ment to the contrary notwithstand- 

 ing, and unless the seed is bought 

 directly from us, you do not get the 

 genuine, as we do not supply dealers. 

 Sold only in sealed packets. 



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 

 stock, coming from the largest and most successful growers clearly 

 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 

 reliability, in color, and in quality. {Shown in colors ok front cover

Price, oz. $3.00, M lb. $10.00, lb. $36.00. 



" PRIMOSNOW" iVl?a"c^Tl8g 



The Earliest Quality Cauliflower Ever Offered 



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 leafj^ness. 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.

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. 



"WHITE ROCK" (New) „f «7/eX,. 



There are so many stocks, good, bad and indifferent, of the well- 

 known Erfurt Cauliflower that we have for years been looking for 

 a strain that would be distinctly superior. We think we have now 

 found one that is in a class by itself. Henderson's White Rock, 

 while not being quite so early as "Primosnow," is earlier than 

 Erfurt and Snowball. The plant is particularly vigorous and 

 produces a deep shaped, pure white head of superb quality, well 

 covered and protected. Our stock of seed is very limited, and we 

 offer it this year only in quarter-ounce, half-ounce and one ounce 

 packets with a limit of one ounce to each customer. 



Price, K oz. $1.50, H oz. $2.75, 1 oz. $5.00.
