the market gardeners have wanted for soj?ie time. Its extreme earliness, about 7 days earlier 
than Early Snowball, and uniformity of heading' will exc«l the others for early marketing'. Before 
the foliage is full groxyn 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 lieads are decidedly larger, 
deeper and more solid than the other varieties. Di'iimark-grown originator’s stock. Tkt., ‘iO cts.;
