HENDERSON'S "EARLY SNOWBALL" CAULIFLOWER. 



FAMOUS THE WORLD OVER 



Beyond Question THE BEST Cauliflower 



FOR EITHER EARLY OR LATE, 

 FOR FA/IILY OR MARKET GARDEN, 

 FOR FORCING OR COLD FRAMES. 



IT HEADS WHERE OTHERS FAIL. 



Those who have never succeeded before 

 should grow "HENDERSON'S SNOWBALL." 



It Is hardly necessary for us to describe this variety at all a- Its 

 name has now become a household word wherever this delicious 

 vegetable is grown. Snowball Cauliflower is the standard 

 everywhere for quality with the seedsman, the market gar 

 dener and the amateur. While originally recommended and used 

 as an early variety, it has nol only supplanted all other sorts for 

 early spring planting, but it has largelj driven out the large late 

 sorts for fail use, being much liner in quality, and the only Cauliflower 

 that is absolutely certain to head when t lie conditions are right, form- 

 ing a perfect snow-white head, averaging nine inches in diameter. 



HENDERSONS EARLY SNOWBALL CAULIFLOWER 

 Is superior to all others, it is the earliest ol all Cauliflowers. Its 

 close-growing, compact habit enables one-third more to be planted 

 on tie- same space of ground than can be done with any other variety. 

 For forcing under glass during winter and spring, this Early Snow- 

 ball variety is peculiarly well adapted, from its uwarfgrpwth and 

 short outer leaves, and tor this purpose no other Cauliflower l8~how 

 so largely grown [See cut.) Price, 25c. per pkt.. $4.66 per a?...
