Long Island Beauty Cauliflower. 
Among the “ Novelties ” in vegetables I offer 
this season, I would especially call attention to the 
“ Long Island Beauty Cauliflower.” It originated 
in Long Island, where Cauliflowers are more suc- 
cessfully and extensively grown than in any other 
section of the country. The introducer of this 
new sort claims that it is “ positively the finest 
Cauliflower in the world ” ; he also says it has an 
extra fine head, and developed ten days in ad- 
vance of any other in a field of “ Extra Early 
Erfurts,” in 1882. It has been carefully grown 
and selected, and seed saved only from the finest 
heads, and thus the type has become fixed. My 
business relations and personal acquaintance with 
the originator enables me to offer seed of this 
variety at the following prices : Per pkt., cts. ; 
1-4 oz., $1. 1-2 oz. I# 7- •, oz., $ 3-50 
Notice. — The growing of this delicious vegetable is so little understood by gardeners generally, ♦hat the 
results are more often failure than success. To obviate this, I have arranged to seure a practical treatise upon t'.i' 
I 
subject, which I offer to my customers at small cost. 
Henderson’s “Early Snowball” Cauliflower. 
While this variety of Cauliflower may have failed, in some instances, to corroborate all the claims set forth 
in behalf of it, it certainly has given better results in all sections, than any other sort since its introduction ; and its 
remarkable excellence has given it a renown far greater than all others together. It was originally obtained from the 
Erfurt, and by selection and care, has constantly improved in value since its first appearance. It is the earliest of all 
Cauliflowers — about one week earlier than any other sort. In addition to its earliness, its dwarf habit and short 
outer leaves allow it to be planted as close as eighteen or twenty inches apart each way, so that from twelve thousand 
to fourteen thousand can be set out on one acre. Price per pkt, 3 1 cts. ; per oz., ss. oo ; i 4 and 1-2 ounces at ounce 
rates. (Send for the book, “ Cauliflowers, and How to Grow Them.” Price 25 cts. 
Vick’s Ideal Cauliflower. 
This new variety of Caul'flower comes from so reliable a source, and is so highly recommend- 
ed, that we were induced to catalogue it last season, without having given it a trial on our own 
grounds. Our stock of seed we procured direct from headquarters, and therefore may be relied 
upon as being genuine. The introducers claim for this sort, superiority over the other varieties 
in the following points, viz. : Reliability of Heading, Size and Solidity of Heads, Earliness and 
Protective Habit of its inner leaves. It is claimed to be very dwarf; outer leaves erect ; can be 
set closely, and is equally good for early or late planting. Price Jper oz. $4, per half oz. $2, per 
quarter oz. $1.25, per pkt. 35 cts.
