Snowball Cauliflower 
Cauliflower 
Blumen Kohl—Coliflor—Cavolfiore 
Should be sown according to instructions for cabbage. It will thrive best in cool, moist situations. 
Early Snowball. The finest early variety and more generally grown than any other. Handsome, 
almost snow-white. Heads of medium size, firm and well formed. Plant is compact, short-stemmed, with 
few short upright leaves. Keen competition among growers has produced several excellent strains, some 
of which are offered on the market under various names. However, careful comparisons on Long 
Island, in Connecticut and New York State show our strain to be a stock of superior quality and well 
suited to this territory. Per pkt., 25c.; oz., $3.50. 
Super Snowball. This Snowball is a real marvel in earliness and simultaneousness in heading. In 
trials it has headed from two to three weeks sooner than the earliest stocks with which we are 
acquainted and so simultaneously throughout the field that nothing like it has ever been seen before. 
Moreover, the heads are large, deep and solid and the foliage is strong and vigorous, forming a good 
protection. Per pkt., 25c.; oz., $3.75. 
moe Dwarf Erfurt. An excellent stock of the Snowball type, though not so early. Per pkt., 25c.; 
oz., $3.50. 
Danish Giant. (Dry Weather). It is well known that a constant moisture supply in the soil is neces- 
sary to a successful Cauliflower crop. It has been found, ‘however, that Danish Giant will stand more 
unfavorable conditions in this respect than either Snowball or Erfurt. It is about two weeks later and 
fully twenty per cent larger heading, produced on a much larger plant. The head is pure white and 
of fine quality. Per pkt., 25c.; oz., $3.50. 
Celeriac or Turnip-Rooted Celery 
A variety of celery, having turnip-shaped roots which may be cooked, or sliced and used with vinegar, 
making a most excellent salad. It is more hardy, and may be treated in the same manner as celery. 
Turnip-Rooted. (large Prague). Turnip-shaped, large and smooth, delicious flavor. Per pkt., 10c.; 
oz., 50c.; Ib., $5.00.
