DRY WEATHER CAUL 



165 Dry Weather Cauliflower 



Reaches Perfection When Ordinary Sorts Fail. 



This desirable strain originated in Denmark, but has been 

 fully tested in America with the most favorable results. It pro- 

 duces a large, solid, pure white head, maturing a little later 

 than Maule's Prize Earliest. It is in all respects a first-class 

 cauliflower, but is especially and peculiarly adapted to dry 

 situations and to resisting the effects of droughts. It will also 

 do well in moist or wet seasons, making heads equal to any. 

 Packet, 20 cents; quarter ounce, 81.00; ounce, $3.50; 

 quarter pound, $9.00; pound, $35.00, postpaid. 



is? Earliest Dwarf Erfurt Cauliflower 



This is a first-class cauliflower, and next to our Prize 

 Earliest and Snowball is the best and surest to head. It 

 would be a leader, except for the two especially fine types 

 here mentioned. As it is, it finds especial favor in many 

 sections. Packet, 15 cents; quarter ounce, $1.00; ounce, $3.50; 

 quarter pound, $9.00: pound, $35.00, postpaid. 



EARLY SNOWBALL CAULIFLOWER. 



Early Snowball Cauliflower 



Large Solid White Heads. A Sure Cropper 



This standard variety is known everywhere, either in the home garden 

 or with the market gardeners. Producing large solid white heads when 

 conditions are ordinarily favorable. Averaging about 9 inches and 

 often attains a size of 12 inches in diameter. 



The solid white heads are so compact that they often outweigh many 

 of the other varieties. 



Being one of the earliest strains of cauliflower it becomes one of the 

 most popular sorts, either for forcing under glass during winter and 

 spring, or for planting in the open ground. The plants are of compact 

 habit, which enables close planting, producing one-third more heads on 

 the same space of ground than can be procured from most other sorts, 

 excepting Maule's Prize Earliest. 



A desirable variety for sowing in the early Spring, as well as for late 

 Summer or for Fall use outdoors.

 Dan vers, suited to both table and stock.

 what deeper in color than Danvers and a 

 heavier cropper. The root is smooth, uni- 

 form and handsome, entirely free from 

 core, with sweet and tender flesh. If 

 never becomes stringy nor shows rinses.
