VAUGHAN'S NEW SNOWBALL 

 CAULIFLQMiER 



Vaughan's 

 New Snowball 

 Cauliflower. 



The best general 

 purpose variety 

 either for Spring or 

 Fall planting. 



Vaughan's New Snowball Cauliflower a specialty of our house. It is on such particular 

 seed as 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 anything 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 equals, 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 standard of growth. 

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



Vaughan's New Snowball Cauliflower is put up in padcages as follows: Pkts., U oz., % 

 o7. and Vi, lb., sealed with our trade mark and with distinctive paper and printing.

THE seed of this 

 strain was saved 

 with the greatest care 

 only from perfectly 

 developed heads, 

 which yield but little 

 seed. Good Cauliflow- 

 er seed is always high 

 in price; cheap Cauli- 

 flower is a poor invest- 

 ment, because it cannot 

 be good. 



The best seed of this 

 type of Cauliflower 

 comes from Aniager 

 Island, near Copen- 

 hagen , Denmark. 

 There the winters are 

 mild, causing little loss 

 from rot in the seed 

 heads, and the cool, 

 moist summers give 

 ideal growing condi- 

 tions for this vegetable. 



Available ground is 

 scarce and value high, 

 so intensive culture is 

 necessary. 



Vaughan's Snowball 

 is the result of years 

 of careful selection by 

 an experienced and 

 most painstaking gar- 

 dener, under these 

 conditions. 



White Plume, Self = Blanching — Vaughan's Selected Stock we have not 



. . 2 " yet found a 



Celery that is as early and of as good a flavor, as crisp and tender, as our selection ot 

 this sort. We sell large quantities of this seed to market gardeners, who find it uniformly 

 white and free from green or hollow stalks. It is not a good keeper, but it is excellent for 

 Fall and early Winter use. y, oz., 12c; oz., 20c; 2 oz., 30c; lb., 50c; lb., $2.00.

Golden Self-Blanching — Vaughan's Selected Stock J^is is the best ceicry 



_— for early use. The 



stalks are much broader and heavier than those of the White Plume, and greatly superior 

 in quality. It is leady for use nearly as early, producing dwarfer and much larger 

 bunches of broad, heavy stalks, blanching to a deep golden yellow. The handsome color, 

 ^crispness. tenderness, freedom from stringiness and nutty flavor of this variety make it 

 only necessary to be tried in order to establish it as the standard of excellence as an early 

 sort. % oz., 35o; oz., 70c; 2 oz., $1.35; 14 lb., $2.50.

"Winter Queen" TMs is without aoubt the most valuable variety of Celery for Wln- 

 I ter and Spring use. It is also much stouter, thicker and heavier, 

 with double the amount of heart of any known Celery. The plant is of close habit and 

 blanches to a beautiful cream white. Ribs perfectly solid, crisp and of a delicious nutty 

 Ha\or. Grow Winter Queen once and you will always grow it. V> oz., 12c; oz., 20c; % lb., 

 50c; lb., $3.00. 



Vaughan's Giant Golden Heart The best Celery for winter storage. Ever 



since we introduced this Celery it has gained 

 in public favor and rightly so, for it is not only the best keeper, but it is large, solid, as 

 sweet as a walnut and of a beautiful golden color. It is a selection from the Dwarf 

 .Golden Heart; grows much larger than its parent. % oz., 12c; oz., 20c; 2 oz., 30c; 14 lb.,
