.^t9 Shuniwaj’s Extra Early Sna^vltall. Ready for market in 50 daysj from trans¬ 
planting-. The standard early type, very sure^ heading and good Quality. The 
seed is produced for me in Denmark from specially selected stock. The plants are 
dwarf, and the leaves cluster closely, protecting the heads and permitting thick 
planting. The heads mature early and are good-sized (7 to 8 inch< 3 S in diameter), 
round, deep, firm, snow-white, and of fine texture. Extremely 3ve 11 adapted to 
greenhouse foicing, but good also a.s a late planter. Keeps well for shipping.

322 Dry Weather or Danish Giant. Mid-sea.son or dry weather vjjrb'ty. This fore¬ 
most cauliflower originated in Denmark and is truly most outstandi ng since it will

vai'ieties of cauliflower will be a complete failui-e. It is a quality cauliflower in 
all respects. The closely formed, pure white curd is attractive) a nd very tender.

harm it. It is an excellent home garden and marke,C variety which will please you.

Madsen’s Super Snowball 
320 Madsen’s Super Snowball. This wonderful strain of Cauliflower is^the particu¬ 
lar variety that the market gardeners have wanted for some time. Its extreme 
earliness, about 7 days earlier than Early Snowball, and uniformity of heading will 
excel the otliers for early marketing'.. Before tlie foliage is full grown and the 
heads have begun to appear the inside leaves begin to curl and twist forming a 
• protection. The outside foliage is strong and vigorous. This strain heads up 
evenly throughout the field, which no other Cauliflower is known to do. The heads 
are decidedly larger, deeper and more solid than the other varieties. Denmark- 
grown originator’s stock. Pkt., 22 ets.; 14 oz., 85 cts.; % oz., $1.50; oz., $2.75; Vi lb.,

Our altitude is a mile high and my Cauliflower grew just a.s good for me here this year as it 
did when I was back in New York state. You know I had both of your Snowballs and I like 
the two of them. Yours truly.FRANK G. ATKINS.

leaf itself, especially every inner leaf assumes the aD- 
traetive white color. This makes the Whi to Plume ceil-

succulence, crispness and quality. White Plume is all 
that can be desired. Fit to cat in 110 days. Very valu¬

use at home and for the near-by market.s. Too 
brittle for shipping. Stalks very large, thick, 
solid, and of splendid qu.ality. It blanches 
quickly and easily to a beautiful creamy yellow.
