Hendersons SNOWBALL CAULIFLOWER
BEYOND ALL QUESTION, THE BEST
EXCELLENT FOR FOKCING
INDISPENSABLE FOR SPRING CROP
INCOMPARABLY THE BEST FOR FALL
IT HEADS WHERE OTHEKS FAIL
IF YOU HAD THE TIME
AND WE HAD THE SPACE
We could quote thousands of letters similar to the following:
"I may say that your Snowball Cauliflower came up in five days, 98 per cent,
germinating." GEO. M. DICKSON, Leominster, Mass.
"Last season I bought two ounces of Snowball Cauliflower at your store, and grew
over ISO barrels of fine Cauliflower." WALTER KNOPP, Ramsay, N. J.
"My patch of Henderson's Snowball Cauliflower averaged over 5 lbs., the largest
beine something over 13 inches in diameter." J. E. THREFT, Bristow, Okla.
"I have had splendid results from your Snowball Cauliflower seed."
Mrs. H. C. WHELLAMS, Winnipeg, Can.
" I mail you a photograph of the case of Cauliflower which won the highest award — ■
a silver medal — at the St. Louis Exposition. 1 grew it from your Snowball seed.
For reliability of heading, fine texture, and whiteness of curd, I have never grown any
Cauliflower that equals it." R. E. HISTED, South Haven, Conn.
"I enclose a photo of a head of Henderson's Snowball Cauliflower which weighed
4 pounds. I have tried five varieties of Cauliflower and find none that compares
with yours. The heads are so much whiter, harder, and more perfect inform than
others. Besides, it has not got a granulated surface like many others, and is much
earlier in maturing." Dr. E. A. LEE, Jennings, La.
WE ALSO OFFER THE FOLLOWING VARIETIES
EXTRA-EARLY DWARF ERFURT. Until we introduced Snowball, this - was
considered the best early variety; plaats dwarf and compact, forming good-
sized heads; sown in May is good for a fall crop. Price, 20c. pkt., $3.25 oz.,
$10.00 M lb-
EXTRA-EARLY PARIS. Heads uniform and of medium size. Price, 10c. pkt.,
80c. oz., $2.75 .4, lb.
LARGE LATE ALGIERS. A strong-growing variety for late fall use, producing
large, fine heads. Price, 10c. pkt., 75c. oz., $2.50 M lb.
Henderson's Snowball Cauliflower
Beyond all question, Henderson's Snowball is the one perfect
Cauliflower for the American gardener. There is none to equal it
in value for forcing under glass for a winter crop, for which it is
especially adapted by reason of its compact, upright habit, quick
growth, and sure-heading quality.
Henderson's Snowball Cauliflower, grown from seed sown under
glass in February and transplanted after frost, will produce perfect
heads of snowy whiteness in the open ground by June 1st.
In most sections of the United States, the best and most
satisfactory crop is grown from seed sown outdoors about May 20th
and transplanted during July, so that the plants make their best
growth during the cooler months. For this crop, Henderson's
Snowball is unsurpassed.
For all purposes and at all seasons, it has become indispensable.
Critical market growers use it in ever-increasing quantities, while
the amateur and private gardener find it equally valuable at all
seasons, owing to its reliability in heading, its strong, vigorous
habit, and the whiteness of its perfectly-formed flowers.
It is without doubt, the ideal Cauliflower, perfect in size, in
reliability, in color, and in quality. (See cut.) Price, 25c: pkt.,
$4.00 oz., $12.50 H lb., $45.00 lb.
Although Cauliflower may be grown as easily as Cabbage, many, through lack
of knowledge of some essentials, are liable to failure. We urge those who are
not familiar with its cultivation to read carefully the pamphlet we have prepared
on Cabbage and Cauliflower growing, wherein we have tried to point the way
to success. We may say here briefly, that success depends on growing a large
plant, and that as Cauliflower is essentially a cool weather plant, this cannot be
done in the hot summer months; therefore, the earliest outdoor crop must be
grown from seed sown under glass in February, so that the crop will mature by
June 1st; for fall use, it should be sown late in May, so that the best development
may be made during the cooler weather of September and October.

This image is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
Public domain

This work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 70 years or fewer.


This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was published (or registered with the U.S. Copyright Office) before January 1, 1929.


This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag.


Note: This tag applies to scans and photocopies only. For photographs of public domain originals taken from afar, {{PD-Art}} may be applicable. See Commons:When to use the PD-Art tag.
