THE FRANK S. PLATT COMPANY’S 
SNOWBALL CAULIFLOWER 
Cauliflower. 
Blumen Kohl — Coliflor—Cavolfiore 
Should be sown according to instructions for cabbage. It will thrive best in cool, moist situations. 
Early Snowball. The finest early variety and more generally grown than any other. Handsome, 
almost snow-white. Heads of medium size, firm and well formed. Plant is compact, short-stemmed, with 
few short upright leaves. Keen competition among growers has produced several excellent strains, some 
of which are offered on the market under various names. However, careful comparisons on Long 
Island, in Connecticut and New York State show our strain to be a stock of superior quality and well 
suited to this territory. Price per pkt., 25c.; per oz., $2.00; per %-lb., $7.00; per lb., $25.00. 
Super Snowball. This new Snowball is a real marvel in earliness and simultaneousness in heading. 
In trials the past two seasons it has headed from two to three weeks sooner than the earliest stocks 
with which we are acquainted and so simultaneously throughout the field that nothing like it has ever 
been seen before. Moreover, the heads are large, deep and solid and the foliage is strong and vigor¬ 
ous, forming a good protection. Price per pkt., 25c.; per oz., $3.00; per %-\b., $9.75; per lb., $35.00. 
Early Dwarf Erfurt. An excellent stock of the Snowball type, though not so early. Price per pkt., 
20c.; per oz., $1.80; per kt-lb., $6.00; per lb., $22.00. 
Danish Giant. (Dry Weather). It is well known that a constant moisture supply in the soil is neces¬ 
sary to a successful Cauliflower crop. It has been found, however, that Danish Giant will stand more 
unfavorable conditions in this respect than either Snowball or Erfurt. It is about two weeks later and 
fully twenty per cent larger heading, produced on a much larger plant. The head is pure white and 
of fine quality. Price per pkt., 25c.; per oz., $2.00; per %-\b., $7.00; per lb., $25.00. 
Celeriac or Turnip-Rooted Celery. 
A variety of celery, having turnip-shaped roots which ma\- be cooked, or sliced and used with vinegar, 
making a most excellent salad- It is more hardy, and may be treated in the same manner as celery. 
Turnip-Rooted. (Large Prague). Turnip-shaped, large and smooth, delicious flavor, per pkt., 10c.; 
per oz., 25c.; per lb., $2.50.
