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 Snow- 

 ball — 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 developed. It is ready to cut fully 

 8 to 10 days before such strains as Snowball or Erfurt and is of 

 such uniform maturity, that practically the entire crop may be cut 

 at one time. Highly recommended for market growers and ship- 



pers.

EXTRA EARLY DWARF ERFURT. One of the best varieties 

 for general use, especially for late crops. It heads with great 

 uniformity, 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", which is of the finest quality.

HOLLAND ERFURT. This is an earlier selection of the Dwarf 

 Erfurt type. The plants are exceptionally vigorous and very uni- 

 form, 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 some- 

 what unfavorable growing conditions and will withstand the heat 

 exceptionally well.

CAULIFLOWER 



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 and year out since it was first offered many 

 years ago. We are continually receiving letters testi- 

 fying 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 protected 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. Attractiveness 

 and quality are unequalled.

SUPER SNOWBALL. 



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

 extra early, the heads or "flowers" mature with greater uniformity, 

 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.

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 Primosnow. 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 up- 

 right, are inclined to curve inward at the tip. 



The heads are large, of a uniform size, very deep, solid, excep- 

 tionally heavy, pure white, and of the highest quality. The well 

 formed tight curd gives the heads a most attractive appearance. 

 In season EARLY SNOWHITE is a few days later than Primosnow, 

 but practically as uniform in maturity.

WHITE ROCK. There are so many stocks, good, bad and indiffer- 

 ent, 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. Hender- 

 son's White Rock, while not being quite so early as Primosnow, is 

 earlier than Erfurt and Snowball. The plant is particularly vigor- 

 ous and produces a deep shaped, pure white head of superb qual- 

 ity, well covered and protected.
