preference is often shown for one or the other, owing to the effects of various 
soils and climates. Pkt., 25c; oz., $2.50; 14 Ib., $9.50; Ib., $35.00, postpaid.

earliness, certainty of heading, splendid quality and well-shaped large heads 
of snowy whiteness. Pkt., 25c; oz., $2.50; 14 lb., $9.50; lb., $35.00, postpaid.
