DRY WEATHER CAULIFLOWER. 
Dry Weather Cauliflower. 
Especially Adapted to Resist Drought. 
Reaches Perfection When Ordimary Sorts Fail. 


This new strain originated in Denmark, but has been fully tested in 
America with the most happy results. I offered it in 1901 for the 
fllst time, and am well satisfied with its behavior. It produces a 
iarge, solid, pure white head, maturing a little later than Maule’s 
Prize Earliest. It is in all respects a first-class cauliflower, but is 
especially and peculiarly adapted to dry situations and to resisting the 
effects of droughts. It will not thrive in poor soil or under bad treat- 
ment, as like all other cauliflowers it requires manure and culture; but 
it will succeed with less rainfall than any other variety within my 
knowledge. 
equal to the best; but it is in dry seasons that its merits appear to best 
advantage, and I am confident that it will extend the culture of this 
delicious vegetable into locations in which it is practically unknown.

MAULE’S ALWAYS HEADS CAULIFLOWER. 
Maule’s Always Heads Cauliflower. 
The name well illustrates the strongest characteristic of this cauli- 
flower, that in season and out of season it can always be depended upon 
to make a head. I secured it from one of the most expert cauliflower 
growers in Denmark, who for many years has considered “Always 
Heads” absolutely head and shoulders above every other cauliflower, 
as he has raised 99 heads 8 to 10 inches across from every 100 plants 
year after year. He resides in a district where hundreds of acres of 
Snowball and Earliest Dwarf Erfurt are annually grown, and has always 
been able to secure top market prices for his entire product, besides 
being equally as early in the market. I am not prepared to say it is 
better than Maule’s Prize Earliest, but consider it nearly as good.

G. N. Zehnduer, Arcota Cal. — Must say that 
your seeds are the best I have ever planted. Your 
Dry Weather Cauliflower was fine. I won a prize 
at our Fair several weeks ago. All my vegetables 




Mrs. P. J. Staats, Bound Brook, Tex.—Our garden 
was fine. I have used Maule’s Seeds for a number of 
years and find them true to name. Maule’s Dry 
Weather Cauliflower was fine; every plant formed s 
bead and one plant had three heads. 



Earliest Dwarf Erfurt. 
This is a first-class cauliflower, and next to my Prize Harliest and 
Snowball is the best and surest to head. It would be a leader, except 
for the two especially fine types above mentioned. As it is, it finds 
special favor in many sections. Pkt., 20 cts.; 14 oz., $1.00; oz., $3.00. 
Early Snowball. 
One of the most popular standard sorts. It belongs to the same 
group of cauliflowers as Maule’s Prize Earliest and stands next to it 
in point of earliness and excellence. Produces heads 9 inches across 
in this latitude by June 10th, and under good treatment every plant 
will produce a head. Packet, 25 ects.: ly ounce, $1.25; ounce, $4.00. 

AUTUMN GIANT CAULIFLOWER. 
Extra Early Paris. 
Very early, producing a good, white head. Head is large, solid and 
compact. It is frequently used in forcing. 
Packet, 10 cts.; % ounce, 40 cts.; oumce, 75 cts.; 14 
Early. London. 
This is an early variety, sure to head, and excellent in every way. 
Packet, 10 cts.; 144 ounce, 40 cts.; ounce, 75 cts.; 14 pound, $2.25. 
Autumn Giant. 
This is a large variety, with fine, well-proportioned heads. The heads

are so well protected by the foliage as to remain a long time fit for use.

R. A. Bliss, Corcoran, Cal. 
“Enclosed please find copy of our local paper, the 
Corcoran Journal; the items marked in red pencil refer 
to some plants of your Dry Weather Cauliflower, 
which I gave My. Rider. The last rain we had in the 
spring was the end of April. The plants were watered 
when set out, but not afterward; they were hoed once. 
Then the weather got so hot, with cutting dry winds, 
that he gave them up, and the poor things struggled 
along until the fall rains (which were very light) when 
they proceeded to make heads to some purpose. My 
own plants were. irrigated a little, so made small but 
very perfect heads during the summer; the rest made 
heads in the fall, and when you realize that the mer- 

cury sometimes reached 11714 in the shade here last 

summer, you will admit they deserve all the praise 
one can give them. I have always had fine seeds from 
you, fertile and true to name.”’ 
- Corcoran Journal, Jan. 28, 1909. 
“S. D. Rider has some of the finest specimens of 
cauliflower on his place near town that we have seen 
this season; some of the heads weigh 14 pounds and are 
unusually well formed. The plants from which they 
grew were not planted until late in May, hence the 
results obtained were all the more creditable.” 
Mrs. Edgar Abrams, East Rockaway, N. Y.—In re- 
gard to Maule’s Seeds I must say that my garden did 
splendidly all through the drought. Far better than I 
could have hoped. But what I consider the best of all 
is your Always Heads Cauliflower; every plant headed. 

Mrs. M. FE. Burleson, Lincoln, New Mex.—Maule’s 
Seeds did fine. Everything I planted from Maule’s 
Seeds did great, especially the cabbage and cauliflower. 
Thos. J. Denny, Arcola, Il.—Your seeds always do 
very well. Cauliflower headed in spite of dry weather. 
Rev. E. Snyder, Harmony, N. J.—Neighhbors Bay 
“My garden was the best anywhere around.”’ Cauli- 
flower seed produced the finest heads I ever raised. 
Mrs. E. ©. Logsdon, Twin Falls, Idaho.—One pound 
of Eureka Extra Early Potatoes yielded 48 pounds. 
Dry Weather Cauliflower 0. K. Alpha Beet fine. 
Radishes solid, some weighed 3 pounds each. 
Mrs. C. H. Younger, Kirkland, Wash.—I had good 
success with your seeds last year, especially your 
cauliflower.
