NOW 



It Heads Where Others Fail. 



IT is hardly necessary for us to describe this 

 variety at all, as its name has now become 

 a household word wherever this delicious 

 vegetable is grown. Henderson's Snow- 

 ball Cauliflower is the standard everywhere 

 lor quality with the market gardener and the 

 amateur. While originally recommended and 

 used as an early variety, it has not only sup- 

 planted all other sorts for early spring plant- 

 ing, but it has largely driven out the large late 

 sorts for fall use, being much finer in quality, 

 and the one Cauliflower that is absolutely 

 certain to head when conditions are ordinarily 

 favorable, invariably forming a perfect snow- 

 white head, averaging not less than 9 inches 

 and often attaining a size of 10 to 12 inches in 

 diameter, and the "flower" is so compact, so 

 deep and solid that the heads will outweigh 

 those of any other strain. 



Henderson's Snowball Cauliflower is su- 

 perior to all others. It is the earliest of all 

 Cauliflowers. Its close-growing, compacthabit 

 enables one-third more to be planted on the 

 same space of ground than can be done with 

 othervarieties. For forcing under glass during 

 winter and spring Henderson's Snowball 

 is peculiarly well adapted, from its dwarf 

 growth and short outer leaves, and for this 

 purpose no other Cauliflower is now so largely 

 grown. (See cut.)

IF YOU HAD THE, TIME AND WE HAD THE SPACE 



We could show thousands of letters similar to the following: 



" / sowed your Snowball Cauliflower the 15th of February, in boxes inside, and set 

 tlw plants in the open ground as soon as jree from frost, and picked good-sized Cauli- 

 flowers the \0th of June — many -were 10 to 12 incites in diameter and one 14 inches, and 

 all perfect heads." M. C. Chadeavnb, Ossining. N. Y. 



" Your Snowball Cauliflower was excellent in every respect; every plant formed a fine 



head, while right beside them I grew 1 .000 plants from seed I got from which did 



not give me a dozen heads. I liave bough; several strains of Snowball Cauliflower from 

 different seedsmen, but I now see that I never got the true type of Henderson's Snowball 

 excepting from you." W. E. Avery, Honesdale, Pa. 



" From one ounce of your Snowball Cauliflower seed I raised 3,500 plants. I have tried 

 Cauliflower seed from several seedsmen, but never liave liad any success except will, the 

 true Henderson Snowball." Arthur L. Miller, Edella, Pa. 



" My Snowball Cauliflower grown from your seeds wa': a perfect success, both outside 

 and under glass, not one failing to head. Size and quality tlie best." 



James White, Gardener to Jesse Tyson, Esq., Melvale, Md. 



" Would say that I liave tried so-called Snowball Cauliflcr.vcr from otlter apparently reli- 

 able houses than yours and invariably failed; in different locuhiics, too, 1 am now convinced 

 that HENDERSON'S Snowball is a wonder.' Geo. A. Merkitt. Highland Mills, N V
