Early. Unquestionablythe earliest Snowball 3-tiT;°of the true short leavedSnowball type of cauli-flower. Admirablyadapted for forcing orwintering over^ forearly crop and themost popular sort forthese purposes, alsoone of the best sortsfor late summer andfall crop. The plantsare compact, with fewshort, outside leavesand are well suited forclose planting. Theheads are of mediumto large size, solid,compact, round, verywhite and curd-like and are developed earlier than those of any other sort. In ourrecent comparative trials of samples from the best knowngrowers and prominent seedsmen in Europe and Americaour stocks of Early Snowball were unsurpassed by any inearliness. They also gave the highest percentage of wellformed heads. After a careful inspection of the fields of themost expert Danish and other European growers we knowwe are in position to supply the most critical trade with seedwhich can be depended upon as the very best.
