Shumway’s World Renown 
Shumway’s Extra Early Snowball (Superior Quality) 
319 Shumway’s Extra Early Snowball. Ready for market in 50 days 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 inches in diameter), 
round, deep, firm, snow-white, and of fine texture. Extremely well adapted to 
greenhouse forcing, but good also as a late planter. Keeps well for shipping,

The Cauliflower seed I bought of , you was wonderful. Every plant a perfect head and snow 
white I have been growing Cauliflower and Cabbage for many years and your seed was all you 
claimed for it. Send me two ounces Super Snowball. Stamps enclosed. Yours truly, 
ANTHONY MAREENO. 
Dry Weather or Danish Giant 
332 Dry Weather or Danish Giant. Midseason or dry weather variety. This fore¬ 
most cauliflower originated in Denmark and is truly most outstanding since it will 
produce attractive, remarkably large heads during dry seasons when all other 
varieties of cauliflower will be a complete failure. It is a quality cauliflower in 
all respects. The closely formed, pure white curd is attractive and very tender. 
Though it grows well in dry seasons, moist or wet seasons do not in any way 
harm it. It is an excellent home garden and market variety which will please you. 
Ready for market in 60 days. Pkt., 10 cts.; % oz., 48 cts.; Vs oz., 90 cts.; oz., $1.G5; 
Vi lb.. $5.00; V- lb., $9.50; lb., $18.00, postpaid. 
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 others for early marketing. Before the 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 cts.; ^4 oz., 85 cts.; y> oz., $1.50; oz., $2.75; lb., 
$<S.OO; y, lb.. $15.50; lb., $30.00. postpaid. 
Denver, Colo. 
Our altitude is a mile high and my Cauliflower grew just as 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. 
Extra Early Dwarf Erfurt 
321 Extra Early Dwarf Erfurt. Ready for market in 55 days after transplanting. 
A very satisfactory early variety. Plants are short-stemmed, of the dwarf type. 
Heads are white and of medium size, with a full, even shape, and firm fine texture.

ground. Pkt., 10 cts.; % oz., 48 cts.; Vs oz., 90 cts.; oz., $1.05; % lb., $5.00; Vs lb., 
$9.50; lb., $18.00, postpaid. 
Celery. Shumway’s Superior Strains for Home or Market. 
328 Pure white—delicious flavor—crisp and succulent. 
This magnificent celery is improving from year to year 
under high culture and careful selection. It is a truly 
beautiful type. Not only does the stem whiten, but the 
leaf itself, especially every inner leaf assumes the at¬ 
tractive white color. This makes the White Plume cel¬ 
ery one of the most showy ornaments that can be put 
upon the Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner table. As to 
succulence, crispness and quality, White Plume is all 
that can be desired. Pit to eat in 110 days. Very valu¬ 
able for early fall and winter use, Pkt , 10 cts.; oz., 24 
cts.; y 4 lb., 73 cts.; % lb., $1.33; lb., $2.50, postpaid. 
327 One of the best long-keeping sorts. Matures 
late. Unquestionably the finest sort for winter 
use at home and for the near-by markets. Too 
brittle for shipping. Stalks very large, thick, 
solid, and of splendid quality. It blanches 
quickly and easily to a beautiful creamy yellow. 
A selection from Golden Self-Blanching, inherit¬ 
ing its good qualities with the added advantage 
of keeping better. Extremely large hearts; rich, 
nutty flavor. Pkt., 10 cts.; oz., 24 cts.; ^4 lb., 
73 cts.;- y 2 lb,, $1.33; lb., $2.50, postpaid. 
326 Shumway’s Superior Golden Self-Blanching Dwarf. 
Very early—stalks thick—crisp and brittle—waxen yellow. 
An outstanding yellow type, standard for market and ship¬ 
ping. Plants are of medium growth, 20 to 24 inches tall, and 
very stocky. Leaves are yellow-green and stalks blanch 
readily, with little earthing up, to a golden ivory. The 
stalks are thick and heavy, but their flesh is brittle and 
tender without stringiness; the flavor is sweet and nut¬ 
like. The thick heart forms early, and a large part of the 
plant is edible. Ready for use early in September. Con¬ 
sidered one of the best table varieties. Pkt.. 10 cts.; oz., 
40 cts.; y 4 lb., $1.29; V, lb., $2.46; lb., $4.75, postpaid.
