SELECTED SEEDS FOR HOME AND MARKET HARDENERS 
9 
(A) Aitken’s Special 
This is somewhat more vigorous type 
of the Snowball class and selected to 
produce a larger head than Snowball 
without losing in earliness. This strain 
will mature with great evenness and al¬ 
though earlier varieties will perhaps 
give a few forerunners a couple of days 
before it makes its start, the bulk of 
the crop is about as early, maturing in 
about 6 0 days from time plants are set. 
The pure white heads are remarkable 
for their great depth and unexcelled 
white color. The curd is of fine texture. 
Foliage is somewhat larger than most 
early varieties and the inner leaves per¬ 
fectly protect the head until nearly full 
grown. We are sincere in believing that 
this strain ranks as one of the very su¬ 
perior stocks of Cauliflower available 
anywhere at any price. Pkt., .25; oz., 
§3.00. 
Dear Sir: 
Nov. 24, 1939 
I have been growing Cauliflower 
for the past four years and your 
Special was the nicest flower I ever 
grew. Cut better than 50 0 crates 
of fancy flower to the acre. All my 
Cauliflower from your Special 
brought premium prices on the 
New York Market. Kindly book 
me for one pound of Aitken’s Spe¬ 
cial for next year. Will order my 
other seed later. 
Yours truly,

Helios (Orginal) 
HELIOS (ORIGINAL) 
A typical Helios plant ready to be tied 
This true variety comes di¬ 
rect from the breeders who have 
originated this strain. It is a 
very large, robust plant which 
produces an unusually large, 
heavy head of excellent quality, 
maturing about ten days later 
than Improved Holland Erfurt. 
From all reports from our 
customers and trials on our own 
farm during 19 39 weather con¬ 
ditions, we are convinced that 
Helios will come through in sec¬ 
tions where adverse weather 
conditions prevail. 
This variety is sold only in 
cans sealed by the originators 
of this strain, registered and 
protected by law for the grower. 
Available only in 2-oz. and 
14 -lb. sealed cans, at §2.50 per 
oz.
