CAULIFLOWER 



SEASONS INDICATED ARE APPROXIMATE 

 FROM THE SETTING OUT OF THE PLANTS 



We have always controlled Henderson's Snow- 

 ball and Primosnow Cauliflower, any statement to 

 the contrary notwithstanding, 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 



Excellent for Forcing — Dependable for Spring 

 Crop — Unsurpassed for Fall Planting. 



Market Growers the world over have used this 

 strain year in end 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- 

 tions are entirely free from leafiness. Attractive- 

 ness and quality are unequalled. Season 65 days.

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 1 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. Highly recom- 

 mended for market growers and shippers. Season 55 days.

IMPROVED HOLLAND ERFURT 



Also Called SNOWDRIFT and WHITE MOUNTAIN. 



A popular variety and used extensively in all sections where 

 Cauliflower is grown. The plants are vigorous, uniform, and 

 the inner leaves fold over the head, thus giving good protection 

 until the heads are well developed. The heads are large, deep, 

 very white, of excellent appearance, and mature a few days 

 earlier than Snowball. Season 62 Hays.

HENDERSON'S IS FAMED FOR QUALITY 



With no other vegetable is it more important to obtain 

 dependable strains of high quality seeds than with Cauli- 

 flower. 



SUPER SNOWBALL 



This is an extra early strain of the Snowball type. Besides being 

 extra early, the heads or "flowers" mature with greater uni- 

 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 types are ready. 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.
