WM. HENRY MAULE, Inc., PHIlADElPfflA, PA. 



Maule's Frost Proof Cabbage Plants 



WILL DOUBLE YOUR PROFIT. WHY? 



Because they mature heads which can be marketed two to three weeks 

 earlier than your home grown plants and you get early market prices 



Maule's sturdy southern grown cabbage plants are tough and hardy 

 They mean dollars to the wide awake gardener 



Our plants are grown, from the best strains of seed, in the south where the soil and climatic conditions are just suited for 

 growing tough, hardy, frost proof cabbage plants. Plants are ready for shipment when from eight to ten weeks old, the 

 buds are then purple and the outer leaves a reddish brown; when in this condition they can be shipped to territory farther 

 north and plauted in the open grouud a month to six weeks earlier than home grown hot bed or cold frame plants. The top 

 of the plant does not grow until your regular spring weather opens up, but the roots grow from the time the plants are set. 

 They have stood a temperature of eight to ten degrees above zero without injury; the land freezing or the plants being covered 

 with ice, sleet and snow did not eflect them. Headed cabbage is ready ten days to three weeks earlier than from any other 

 plants. Frost proof cabbage plants may be shipped to any point where they will arrive within four or five days, by parcel 

 post, and should be planted four to sis weeks earlier than home grown plants. The plants will be somewhat wilted and 

 have a hard stunted look when received which will be disappointing to persons who have never used them before. Regard- 

 less of their appearance, however, they will produce the results. 



Order early and state about what date you wish your plants sent. We will ship just as near the time desired as weather and 

 other conditions permit, but 



PLEASE REMEMBER 



Your order must first be sent from our offices in Philadelphia to our growing station in the south, and it will take several 

 days to reach there after wc receive it. Plants cannot be pulled and shipped in rainy or freezing weather, when wet they 

 heat too rapidly. We sometimes have a week or ten days of continued wet weather which prevents shipment. Your order 

 will be accepted with the understanding that you are willing to allow for delays, such as explained above, over which we 

 have absolutely no control.
