CAULIFLOWER. 



DREER'S EARLIEST SNOWSTORM. 



The Earliest and Best of all for Forcing; or Open Ground. 



Realizing the great importance of an extra fine 

 strain of stock seed for growing the best Caidiflowers, 

 we have given this variety much care and attention, 

 and the uniformly good results received by growers 

 using our " Snowstorm " convince ns that we have 

 the very best and earliest strain of Cauliflower on the 

 market, both for forcing and for growing in the open 

 ground. It is a dwarf variety, with short outer 

 leaves, and can be planted close, 2 feet apart each 

 way. It always makes a tine, large and exceedingly 

 beautiful snowy-white head, much earlier than any 

 other variety. The (luality is very good, being of 

 delicious flavor. It is far superior in every way to 

 the best st rains of " Snowball Caulifiower." Pkt., 

 25 cts.; \ oz., $1.50 ; oz., $5.00 ; i 11).. $15.00.
