Shumway’s Extra Early Snowball (Superior Quality) 
319 Sliumway’s Extra Early Snowball. Ready for market in 60 days from transplanting. 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 ^ell adapted to greenhouse 
forcing, but good also as a late planter. Keeps well for shipping. Pkt., 15 cts.; % oz., 50 cts.;

Shumway’s Super Snowball 
.320 Shumway’s Super Snowball. This wonderful strain of Cauliflower is the particular 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 lor 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.;
