an's New Snowball Caiiliflowor is a specialty of our house. It is on such particular 

 Cauliflower, in which the least variance from the true strain results in great injury to 

 the grower, that a seed house builds up its reputation. We know our Cauliflower is the equal 

 of anytliing that can be produced. In our trial ground tests we have tried nearly every strain 

 of cauliflower offered on the market and, while we have found a few eo.uais, we have never 

 found a superior to Vaughan's Snowball. We pay more for our seed than probably does any 

 large seed house in the United States just so that we can have it as near perfection as it is 

 possible for man to grow it. High bred Cabbage and Cauliflower does not germinate as well as 

 less carefully bred strains. Nevertheless we have taken such pains to reclean and re-sift our 

 seeds after receiving them from the grower that our seed is always up to standanl of growth. 

 Head usually 9 to 10 inches across, perfectly white and very solid, deep and compact.
