Maule’s Genuine Surehead 

Ls (se 
> 
All Head and Always Sure to Head. 
I watch with great care all the new cabbages, and test them 
at Briar Crest and Panmure, but I still think that Surehead 
for main crop will do the most good for the most people. No 
other cabbage in America today has all the merits of Maule’s 
Genuine Surehead. 
People who have never sown Maule’s Surehead do not | 
know what good cabbage is. The Surehead is the greatest 
and most profitable cabbage ever introduced, that has, for such 
a long term of years, maintained so wide a popularity. This 
is proved by the testimony of over 100,000 planters, in all 
sections of the country, representing all conditons of soil, 
elevation, climate and cultural treatment. I can truthfully 
repeat the statements made in former catalogues, that while 

no serious complaints, even in isolated cases, have ever been 
made against this justly celebrated cabbage, thousands of 
tongues and pens are ready to tell of its worth. Hence, I say 
again, if you want a cabbage all head and always sure te 
head, you will find it in Maule’s Genuine Surehead. 
Maule’s Surehead is a cabbage of the general type of Prize 
Flat Dutch and Prize Drumhead, with the same large, deep, 
somewhat flattened head, and the same high qualities; but 
somewhat finer in texture and with less spread of leaves. It 
is a late variety, with head as large as Flat Dutch. It is 
almost absolutely uniform in growth. The heads are firm 
and hard, and the cabbage keeps well, is a splendid shipper, 
and is a variety certain to give satisfaction. 
Packet, 10 cents; ounce, 35 cents; quarter pound, $1.00; pound, $3.50. 
(9a%~N. B.—I am frequently asked how it is that two firms can so prominently claim the origin of Surehead. When Mr. W. Atlee Burpee was a 
member of our firm, back in 1877, this cabbage was first named and introduced. On his retirement from our firm, the following year, to start 
the firm of W. Atlee Burpee & Co., his right to claim the origin of Surehead Cabbage was never questioned.
