standard early type, very sure heading- and good quality. The seed is produced for me in Denmark

heads and permitting thick planting. The heads mature early and are good-sized (7 to 8 inches m 
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. Pkt., 15 cts.; a /4 oz., 50 cts.;

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 
%22 Dry Weather or Danish Giant. Midseason or dry weather variety. This foremost 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.; a 4 oz., 48 cts.; y 2 oz., 90 cts.; oz., $1.65; % lb., $5.00; lb., $9.50; 
lb., $18.00, postpaid. 
Madsen’s Super Snowball 
330 Madsen’s Super Snowball. This wonderful strain of Cauliflower is the particular variety that 
the market gardeners have wanted for some time. Its extreme earlmess, about / 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., 20 cts.; 
14 oz., 70 cts.; y* oz., $1.25; oz., $3.25; % lb., $7.50 ; Vs lb., $13.75; lb., $26.00, postpaid. 
ATTENTION 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 ymm Snow¬ 
balls and I like the two of them. Yours truly, DRANK P. A1K1N&. 
Extra Early Dwarf Erfurt 
331 Extra Early Dwarf Erfurt. Ready for market in 55 days after transplanting. A very satisfac- 
tory 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. This stock is equally desirable for forcing 
under glass and for planting in the open ground. Pkt., 10 cts.; oz., 48 cts.; Vs oz., 90 cts.; oz., 
$1.65; % ll)., $5.00; % ib., $9.50; lb., $18.00, postpaid. 
Celery. Shumway’s Superior Strains for Home or Market. 
My Celery Seed is grown from hand transplanted Pure Bred roots. Used extensively in the largest producing sections of the nation. 
No better quality obtainable at any price. 
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.; Vi lb., 73 cts.; y 2 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.; Vi lb., 
73 cts.; i/ 2 lb., $1.33; lb., $2.50, postpaid. 
DWARF STRAIN 
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. Beady for use early in September. Con¬ 
sidered one of the best table varieties. Pkt v 10 cts.; oz., 
40 cts.; Vi lb., $1.29; Vz lb., $2.35; lb., $4.35, postpaid. _
