jacket leaves close around the head. 
Snowball is a medium early variety and is also the best for late and 
main crop. Under all conditions of soil and weather, it is the best and 
most reliable kind to grow. Our customers tell us there is no better

345 SUPER SNOWBALL. Large, Very Early Cauliflower. This is a 
highly profitable early type, for it ripens nearly all its crop before the 
regular Snowball strains come on. The heads are very big and broad, and 
the plants are strong and vigorous, giving good protection to the heads 
although not as leafy as Snowball. Super Snowball requires a good 
fertile soil and favorable growing conditions for best results, but when 
properly grown it produces big crops of the largest and finest cauli- 
flower very early in the season. We offer an exceptionally fine strain of 
this famous variety.

Noted for its extremelyywhite heads. The heads are large, deep and with a fine tight 
curd. The plants are sturdy with large leaves that cover the heads exceptionally 
well. Matures at the same time as Snowball. This is a very reliable variety and is 
popular in many sections. We have a very true stock.

333 NEW EARLY PURPLE HEAD. nee Most Delicious Cauliflower. 
more delicate flavor than Broccoli 
and Brussels Sprouts and superior in quality to any other kind of cauliflower. 
The heads are the same shape as ordinary cauliflower but instead of being white are 
deep purple on the top. When cooked this cauliflower is green like Broccoli, which 
it resembles in flavor, but is far more delicate. 
Purple cauliflower is by far the easiest to grow. The plants are large and robust, 
and this stock is so sure heading that every plant produces a fine tight head. They do 
not require tying as the heads are not blanched. This is not as early as Snowball, but 
begins to ripen before the first of October from plants set out in June. 
Some of our friends who do not like ordinary cauliflower think that our Purple 
4 ; cauliflower is delicious. Try some of it this year. We know you will like it.
