 Any soil that will grow Cabbage will grow Cauliflower ; extra manuring and preparation of tlie soil will be v.ell repaid. The seeds may be sown in September and 

 ^vintered over in the same manner as described for early Cabbage. Where this is not practicable it may be had just as well by sowing the seeds in the hot-bed in January 

 or February, and transplanting the plants at two or three inches apart in boxes or in the soil of another hot-bed until such time as they are safe to be planted in the open 

 ground, which in this latitude is usually from the 1.5th of March to the 10th of April. If properly hardened oft they are seldom injured by planting out too early. For 

 second early and late crop sow at same date as given in the directions for Cabbage crop. For further information, if for private use, see our work "Gardening for Pleas- 

 ure" ; if for market, see the new edition of "Gardening for Profit."

THE BEST VARIETY FOR EITHER MARKET OR FAMILY GARDENS . 



Tlr HETHER intended for private use or to be gro-vro for market, Henderson's Early Snowball Cauliflower is superior 

 yy to all others. First, because it is the earliest ofall Cauliflowers, as has been conclusively shown season after season, 

 since we first made its merits known; second, because under the conditions of an ordinarily favorable season, nearly every 

 plant will form a perfect snow-white head, averaging nine inches in diameter ; ttiird, for the reason that its close-growing, com- 

 pact habit enables one-third more to be planted on the same space of ground than can be done with any other variety. For forcing under 

 glass during winter and spring, this Early Snowball variety is peculiarly well adapted, from its dwarf growth and short outer 

 leaves, and for this purpose no other Cauliflower is now so largely grown. _It also does equally well for late planting. (iSee cut.) 

 EXTRA EARLY DWARF ERFURT. Until the in- 

 troduction of our early Snowball this was considered 



the best early variety. It is fine for forcing and equally 



valuable in the open ground. The plants being dwarf 



and compact may be planted close together and seldom 



fail to form a good-sized head. 20 cts. pkt., S3. 50 oz., 



812.00 1^ lb. 

 EXTRA EARLY PARIS. A favorite French variety 



remarkable for its reliability in heading. The leaves 



being larger, it cannot be planted quite so close as the 



Erfurt, and is, therefore, not so desirable for forcing, 



though it is equally valuable for outdoor culture, loc.

 IiARGE LATE ALGIERS. This is among late what) 



Snowball is among early Cauliflowers, "absolutely the ^ 



best." It is now nearly exclusively grown for fall use, 



never failing to produce large, fine heads. Very popular 



with market gardeners and canners. 15 cts. pkt., $1.00

to do particularly well in the Southern States. 10 cts.
