LEONARD'S EARLY SNOWBALL CAULIFLOWER. *'Leonard's Seeds are always the best. Your Snowball Cauliflower is ahead of ^ any strain of that important variety ^ that I have secured in my twenty- eight years' experience in garden- ing."—Geo. Ferguson. '•I had the largest and finest cauli- flower on the market last year. I raised it from your strain of Early Snowball. It is the best Snowball seed I ever planted. "—G. Bramberger. "I am fully satisfied with your cau- liflower seed,"—Fred Hine. Leonard's Earliest Erfurt. A variety that has given excellent satisfaction to our home gardeners. It is snow white and a sure header. Gardeners will be amply repaid by giving this variety a fair trial. Oz., $2.00; 14 lb., $8.00. CARROT. Reports from our many gardener custom, ers who plant cauliflower seed largely are at hand. These reports show that LEON- ARD'S STRAIN of the EARLY SNOWBALL CAULIFLOWER has given them every sat- isfaction. We find in this much that is gratifying, as it conflrms our belief that our strain of this popular cauliflower is unsurpassed. It also proves that the confi- dence placed upon our judgment by our customers last spring was not miiplaced. We told them ours was as good a strain of Snowball cauliflower as they or any one else had ever planted, and so it has proved to be. Best for Early—Best for Late " Tour Snowball Cauliflower seed gives more plants and more fine heads to the ounce than any other. It is the best Snowball cauliflower,"—TAe Gen- eral Verdict of the Chicago Gardeners. If there are better cauliflower grow- ers in other places than we have about Chicago we are not aware of it. If there is a better strain of Snowball cauliflower than this one our cauli- flower growers have failed to bring out the superior points of such a strain in any of their comparative tests. CHANTBNAY.
