WM: HENRY MAULE, PHILADELPHIA, PA. — Vegetable Seeds—33 
GAULIFLOWBR. 
Pin or tie the leaves together after the head or flower has begun to 
form. This will preserve the snowy whiteness. An ounce of seed 
will produce about 3,500 plants if carefully managed. ; 

A splendid money crop where soil is rich and climate cool and damp. 
CULTURE.—Same as cabbage. Sometimes the seed is sowed in Sep- 
tember, and the young plants wintered over, to save time in spring.

A. L. Gastman, Arcata, Cal.—I am in receipt of your 
annual seed catalogue, and must say I am very much 
pleased to receive same, for two years ago I ordered 
seeds from your house, and never before planted a lot of 
seeds where every one seemed to grow s0 Satisfactorily 
and true to name; especially was pleased with the Cauli- 
S HS! \ é flower, as I have had a home garden for years and that 
= “ & ng year was the first when every plant headed. In your 
it oy seed, every single plant produced a fine head. 
Maule’s Prize Earliest 
Cauliflower. 
For many years I have taken particular pride in supplying my customers with this strain of seed, which in all cases is 
equal and in many cases better than they can procure anywhere in this country or abroad. I flatter myself that I have 
been successful, as the demand for Maule’s Prize Earliest Cauliflower keeps constantly growing, and reports come from 
every one sowing this seed that it is the earliest, finest and handsomest cauliflower they have ever seen. Whether for 
forcing under glass, or growing in the open ground, and whether planted early or late, it is surest header of them all. 
It is very dwarf and compact in habit of growth, like the Snowball, and can be planted as close as 18 inches each way 
for forcing or where space is limited. Maule’s Prize Earliest is particularly desirable for forcing under glass, while in my 
open air trials every plant has frequently produced a head, excelling all other varieties in earliness, size and quality. 
To give some idea of the demand for this variety would say that to a single grower I sold more than $550.00 worth of 
the seed last season. Now I have some disagreeable news to report; for years my seed has been grown especially for me 
in Denmark; this year the crop is very short, consequently I am compelled to advance my price considerably. The trouble 
has been, however, that for years past I have always sold this seed too cheap. 
Packet, 50 cents; quarter ounce, $3.00; ounce, $10.00; quarter pound, $30.00; pound, $100.00. 
N. B. This naturally seems like a high price to charge for cauliflower seed no matter how good it is; but so confident 
am I this seed will please you that, when you harvest your crop, if it does not come up to my recommendation, 
; I will refund the amount you have paid me for the seed. You are to be both judge and jury.
