Rawson's Extra Early Sea Foam.—Said by Rawson in 1886 to be the best forcing variety; dwarf, very compact, with large, firm, well-rounded heads, pure white, and of the best quality. At the Ohio experiment station in 1889 it appeared to be the same as Early [Extra Early] Erfurt.
Rice's Giant Snowball.—A late sort, which failed to head well at the New York experiment station in 1883.
St. Brieuc, see Half Early St. Brieuc.
Small-Leaved Erfurt (Earliest Dwarf Small-Leaved Erfurt, Narrow-Leaved Erfurt).—This, according to Brill, differs from "Erfurt Extra Dwarf Earliest" in having very narrow, pointed leaves which grow perfectly upright, thus adapting it for close cultivation or for forcing. It grows rapidly, which adapts it for spring cultivation; and for a fall crop it may be sown later than any other variety—on Long Island usually as late as July 1st.
Snow's Winter White.—A late variety usually classed with the Broccolis.
Snowball, see Early Snowball.
Stadtholder.—Burr, in 1866, said, "A recent variety introduced from Holland.... In the vicinity of London, where it is largely cultivated for the mediate between the Early Dutch and Walcheren. The stem is a little shorter than that of other Holland cauliflowers [which have rather tall stems], and the leaves are more undulated on the border." The Stadtholder appears to be a good sort, but hardly equal to Autumn Giant and some others which protect the head better, and which have now largely displaced it in cultivation. It has never been grown to any extent in the United States.
Surprise, see Early Dwarf Surprise.
