Early Italian Purple Cauliflower 
The plants are robust and highly resistant 
to disease. The heads are the same shape as 
ordinary Cauliflower but instead of being 
white are purple and do not require any ty- 
ing. It is very easy to grow. Purple Cauli- 
flower with its delicate flavor and superior 
quality is finding an important place in the 
market today. Try some this year. Pkt., .25; 
0z., $3.00. 
Danish White Rock or Holland Erfurt 
(A) Catskill Super Snowball 
The Catskill Super Snowball stands out 
as one of the most valuable Cauliflower for 
early market. The head develops into the 
finest of its kind, deeper, high, very firm, 
heavy, and snow white. Under proper grow- 
ing conditions will yield practically 100 per 
cent grade number one heads, and can be 
tied up “‘one plant after another.” This vari- 
ety can be grown as an early, main or late 
crop. Sold out. 
This is another Cauliflower that has proven itself for the main crop. It is one of the best 
varieties and widely used both on Long Island and in the Catskills. ! 
While not quite as early as some of the earlier varieties, yet sections where the growing 
seasons are short plants set out the 1st to the 15th of June may be cut clean before freezing 
weather. Sold out. 
(A) Aitken’s Snowhall 
We recommend this superior, deep, heavy heading strain of Snowball for main crop plant- 
ing. Grows heavy foliage, making large plants. 
We believe the heads are of the best Snow- 
ball type, large, heavy, white and of excellent curd. Matures about a week after the Improved 
Holland Erfurt. A trial will convince you.

AITKEN’S SNOWBALL 
(A) Aitken’s Special 
growing sections. It grows 
very large, heavy foliage, 
which covers and protects the 
_heads more than any variety. 
It can be cut from the field 
showing the twirling inner 
leaves curled, completely cov- 
ering.the fully matured heads. 
This variety matures about 
10 days after the Catskill Su- 
per Snowball, which makes it 
valuable for steady shipping, 
heading throughout the sea- 
son, producing pure white, 
solid heads considerably larg- 
er than most varieties, mak- 
ing it very easy to pack 12 
heads to the crate. Critical 
growers depend on the relia- 
bility of this variety for their 
main crop. Pkt., 25; 16 oz., 
$2.25; oz., $4.00; % Ib., 
$16.00. 
This is somewhat more vigorous type of the Snowball class and selected to produce a larger 
head than Snowball without losing its earliness. 
This strain will mature with great evenness 
and although 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 60 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 perfectly protect the head until nearly full grown. We are sincere in believing that 
this strain ranks as one of the very superior stocks of Cauliflower available anywhere at any 
price. Pkt., .25; 12 oz., $2.75; 0z., $5.00; 144 Ib., $19.00 
16 Ib. or more sold at 1 Ib. rate.
