 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 iiave 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.

seed of this 



strain was saved 

 with the greatest care 

 ouly from perfectly 

 developed heads, 

 which yield but little 

 seed. Good Cauliflow- 

 er seed is alwa3-s high 

 iu price; cheap Cauli- 

 flower is a poor invest- 

 ment, because it cannot 

 be good. 



The best seed of this 

 type of Cauliflower 

 comes from Amager 

 Island, near Copen- 

 hagen, Denmark. 

 There the winters are 

 mild, causing little loss 

 iioin rot ill the seed 

 bcnuls, 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.

stalks are much broader and heavier than those of the White I'lurae, 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 

 finly necessary to be tried tn order to establish It as the standard Of excellence as an early 

 sort. % oz., 6.Sc: oz.. $1 25; 2 oz., $2.25; H lb., $4 00.
