HENDERSON'S SNOWBALL GflllUFlOWER 



THE BEST 



IS BEYOND QUESTION 



For Either Early or Late 

 For Family or Market Garden 

 For Forcing or Cold Frames 



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 

 veg-etable is grown. Henderson's Snow- 

 ball Cauliflower is the standard everywhere 

 for 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.) 



What Growers Think of It: 



'' Would say that I have tried so-called Snowball Cauliflower from other apparently reli- 

 able houses than yours and invariably failed; in different localities, too, 1 am now eo«- 

 vinced that HENDERSON'S Snowball is a wonder." 



GEO. A. MERRITT, Highland Mills, N. Y. 

 " I mail you a photograph of a case, 18 x 26 inches, just holding 4 trimmed cauli- 

 flowers grown from Henderson's Snowball Seed, which I sent to the St. Louis Exposition, 

 and for which I was awarded a silver medal. For reliability of heading, fine texture and 

 whiteness of curd, 1 have never seen any cauliflower that equals your Snowball." 



R. E. HISTED, South Haven, Mich. 

 " I wish to say that your Early Snowball Cauliflower gave great satisfaction, and I 

 will not use any other seed. Have often liad some heads weighing from 5 to 8 pounds. 

 No other cauliflower can equal it, and 1 think all gardeners would have better success by 

 using it." W. L. SPARKS, Cripple, Creek, Colo. 



" Your Snowball is the best cauliflower I can find. I have tried lots of other seed 

 houses that claim their Snowball is as good as yours, but 1 do not find them so. I think 

 your strain is the best that can be bought for love or money. 



PHIL ANDRE, Station D, Metnphis, Tenn. 

 " The Snowball Cauliflower seed I got from you 4 or 5 years ago was the best I ever 

 grew, that is the reason 1 am sending this distance for more." 



JAMES CAMPBELL, Walkerton, Ont., Can. 

 " Have been planting your Snowball Cauliflower seed for 15 years, for I have learned 

 that it pays — none compare with it." 



W. C. CLYATT, Terra Ceia, Fla.
