FROM THE SETTING OUT OF THE PLANTS

HENDERSON’S SNOWBALL 
Excellent for Forcing—Dependable for Spring 
Crop—Unsurpassed for Fall Planting. 
Market Growers the world over have used this 
strain year in and year out since it was first 
offered many years ago. We are continually 
receiving letters testifying to the dependability 
and general excellence of Henderson‘s Snowball. 
The widespread demand for this strain clearly 
indicates that it is adapted to the widest range 
of soil and climatic conditions of any variety of 
Cauliflower in existence. 
The plants are of medium height, sturdy and 
vigorous. The outer leaves are of upright 
growth, while the inner ones fold over in such 
a way that the ‘’flowers’’ are completely pro- 
tected until they have reached a good size. The 
heads are uniformly large, deep, very solid, 
snow white, and under normal growing condi- 
Henderson’s Famous Snowball 
HENDERSON’S PRIMOSNOW 
This outstanding extra early variety was introduced by us and 
is now recognized as the leading first early variety. The heads 
or ‘flowers’’ possess many of the characteristics of our famous 
Snowball—good form, good size, great depth, and a beautiful 
snow-white color, free from riciness or leafiness. The plant is 
sturdy; the foliage of fine form; the inner leaves being incurved 
give ample protection to the developing ‘‘flower’’.  Primosnow 
is the earliest high quality Cauliflower that has ever been de- 
veloped. It is ready to cut fully 8 to 10 days before such strains 
as Snowball or Erfurt and is of such uniform maturity, that prac- 
tically the entire crop may be cut at one time. Hiahly recom- 
mended for market growers and shippers. Season 55 days.

SUPER SNOWBALL 
This is an extra early strain of the Snowball type. Besides being 
extra early, the heads or ‘’flowers’’ mature with greater wni- 
formity, making it possible to harvest a large percentage of the 
crop in the first cutting. 
The plants are vigorous and strong. The leaves, especially the 
inner ones, are well folded or curled over the heads. The heads 
are large, uniform in size, deep, and solid. They mature early 
and many times the entire crop is harvested before any heads 
of the later tynes are readv. One of the most profitable 
varieties for market. Season 55 days.

EARLY SNOWHITE (SPECIAL NO. 25). We are pleased to offer 
this new outstanding early variety. It has shown up well in 
our Cauliflower trials, and the commercial growers who have 
tried out this new type, are very enthusiastic about its merits. 
The plants are sturdy and somewhat taller growing than Primo- 
snow. The inner leaves fold over the heads and overlap each 
other in such a way that added protection is given to the 
‘flowers’ until they are well developed. Even the outer leaves 
which are straight and upright, are inclined to curve inward 
at the tip. 
The heads are large, of a uniform size, very deep, solid, ex- 
ceptionally heavy, pure white, and of the highest quality. The 
well formed tight curd gives the heads a most attractive ap- 
pearance. In season EARLY SNOWHITE is a few days later 
than Primosnow, but practically as uniform in maturity. Season 
59 days.
