This cauliflower is not the common Snowball as many dealers put on the market, but is seed which is grown from the Hen- derson's True Stock and is superior to all other cauliflow- er. It is the earli- est variety and may also be used for late. This cauliflower forms a fine white head and will head where others fail, may be planted closer together than other varieties. Careful attention in the matter of de- stroying insects and watering will be re- paid. Pkt. 25c; oz. $2.50. Selected Extra Early Dwarf Er- furt.
