26 CONDON BROS., SEEDSMEN, ROCKFORD, ILLINOIS 
PEDIGREED CAULIFLOWER 
Culture— Cauliflower demands a rich loamy 
soil and an abundance of water. Sow seed for 
an early summer crop in February or March, 
in a hotbed, and when plants are three or four 
inches high transplant four inches apart in 
boxes or frames. In the middle of spring, or 
as soon as the gardener deems it prudent, the 
plants can be removed to the open ground. 
Set plants from 2 to 2% feet apart each way. 
For late Cauliflower sow seed in a cool, moist 
place, in this latitude about the first of May. 
One ounce will produce about 3,500 plants. 
HENDERSON'S GENUINE 
TRUE EARLY SNOWBALL 
It Heads Where Others Fail 
Unquestionably the earliest maturing 
strain of the true, short-leaved snow- 
ball type of Cauliflower. It is admirably 
adapted for forcing or wintering over for 
early crop and is the most popular sort for 
these purposes, also one of the best sorts for 
late summer and fall crops. Early Snow- 
ball is, moreover, a most desirable sort 
for the home garden. The plants are com- 
pact, with few short, outside leaves and 
are well suited for close planting. The 
heads are of medium to large size, solid, 
compact, round, very white and curd-like 
and are developed earlier than' those of 
any other sort. 
The seed we offer you is of the highest 
possible quality "Grown in Denmark," the 
country from which it was first introduced. 
The strain we offer is the result of thirty 
years breeding and perfecting by the most 
honorable and responsible grower 
in Denmark. Packet, 10c; *4 oz -» 
65c; y 2 oz., $1.20; oz., $2.25; % lb., 
$8.00, postpaid. 
EXTRA EARLY FAVORITE 
Early dwarf variety. Heads are 
solid, but are not so large nor 
sure-heading as the Erfurt type. 
Packet, 5 cents; y 2 ounce, 50 
cents; 1 ounce, 95 cents; % 
pound, $3.50, postpaid.

NEW DRY WEATHER 
EXTRA EARLY DWARF 
ERFURT 
NEW DRY WEATHER 
Especially Adapted to Resist 
Drought. Reaches Perfec- 
tion When Ordinary 
Sorts Fail 
This new strain originated in Den- 
mark, but has been fully tested in 
America, producing large, solid, pure 
white head, maturing a little later 
than Early Snowball. It is in all re- 
spects a first-class Cauliflower, and is 
especially adapted to dry situation and 
to resist droughts. Like all other 
Cauliflowers, it requires manure and 
culture; but it will succeed with less 
rainfall than any other variety. Packet, 
8 cents; % ounce, 60 cents; *4 ounce. 
$1.10; ounce, ?3.00; % pound, J7.50, post- 
paid. 
EARLY DWARF PARIS 
While less expensive, this will 
give quite good results in suitable 
localities. Packet, 4 cents; 1 ounce, 
40 cents; % pound, $1.35, postpaid. 
EXTRA EARLY DWARF 
ERFURT 
A remarkably sure heading 
Cauliflower. Of dwarf habit with 
short outside leaves. The heads 
when ready for market are of 
medium to large size, curd white, 
exceptionally deep and of finest 
quality. It will give excellent re- 
sults either in the home garden or 
for market use. Packet, 10 cents; 
% ounce, 50 cents; ounce, 75 
cents; ounce, $1.40; % pound, $5.00,
