WHAT GROWERS THINK 

 OF PRIMOSNOW 



Vincent Koslocuskiof Stony Brook, 

 L. I., N. Y., states that he has been 

 using Henderson's Cauliflower Seed 

 for the past six years with excellent 

 success and this season it proved ex- 

 ceptionally good. He planted Hen- 

 derson's Snowball, Extra Early 

 Dwarf Erfurt, Holland Erfurt and 

 Primosnow. The plants from these 

 varieties were set out on different 

 tracts of land and all of these strains 

 without exception developed a good 

 crop. 



The Primosnow sold at a premium 

 of seventy-five cents per crate above 

 the prevailing prices on the daily 

 New York Produce Market, packed 

 8 to 9 heads per crate. The Snow- 

 ball, Holland Erfurt and Extra Early 

 Dwarf Erfurt packed an average 9 

 to 12 heads per crate and also sold 

 at a premium over and above the 

 prevailing prices. 



IMPORTANT— BEWARE 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 CAULIFLOWER 



SNOWBALL 



Beyond All Question the Best — Excellent tor 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. (See engraving inside rover.) 

 Price, oz. $3.00, \i lb. $10.00, lb. $36.00. 



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. 



PRIMOSNOW 



A HENDERSON INTRODUCTION 

 The Earliest Quality Cauliflower Ever Offered 

 This is an ideal type for market growers. It possesses many 

 of the characteristics of our famous Snowball J— 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 

 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. (See engraving.) 



Price, % oz. $1.50, 14 oz. $2.75, 1 oz. $5.00. 



"WHITE ROCK" (New) 



A New Type of Early Erfurt 



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. Price, l i oz. $1.50, } 2 ' oz. $2.75, 1 oz. $5.00. 



HOLLAND ERFURT 



This is an earlier selection of the Dwarf Erfurt type. The 

 plants are exceptionally vigorous and very uniform, with short 

 broad leaves giving excellent protection to the heads which are 

 large, deep, compact, bright white and of high quality. This 

 variety will produce good heads even under somewhat unfavorable 

 growing conditions and will withstand the heat exceptionally well. 

 Price oz. $2.25, \i lb. $8.00, lb. $30.00.
