STOKES CROWIXC SINCE 1«7> SEEDS White Mountain Erfurt Cauliflower SUPER-STANDARD Days to maturity, 130. We offer this stock as being, probably, the most satisfactory for general com- mercial production. This strain has made a strong place for itself in some of the most important Cauhflower districts, and in numerous competitive trials it has come out with very high honors. White Mountain Erfurt is at least a week later than the Early Snowball, also offered on this page. It is, however, shghtly more vigorous, and for general-crop purposes, where earhness is not the only factor, it is recommended in pre- ference to it. The names Erfurt and Snowball, as apphed to Cau iflower, are now largely synonymous and mean very httle, except when amplified by strain names In again offering this same stock of White Mountain Erfurt, our trade can depend upon it as being thoroughly reliable from every point of view. Price, delivered: Pkt. 25 cts.; 1/202. 80 cts. ; oz. $1.50; y4lb. $6; lb. $24. Early Snowball SUPER- STANDARD Days to maturity, 125. We offer this strain as the best extra-early Cauliflower available. It will mature fully a week earher than White Mountain Erfurt, developing a head from 8 to 10 inches across. It has a compact habit of growth, permitting close planting which is an important factor for greenhouse production. This stock is grown for us by a Danish Cauliflower expert near the city of Copenhagen. It is offered with every confidence that it will produce a superior product. Price, delivered: Pkt. 25 cts.; y20z. 80 cts.; oz. $1 50; V4lb. $6; lb. $24. *This seed has been treated chemically to eliminate all surface-borne disease.
