133 MAULE'S PRIZE DRUMHEAD CABBAGE. 



n3 Maulers 

 Prizes Drumliead 



Large, Solid Heads on Short Stems 



Sureness in heading and regularity In growth 

 have placed this variety high in the list, and we 

 have no fear of using words of praise too high for 

 its merits. It forms very large, hard, solid, flat- 

 tened heads, uniform in shape and color, and of 

 handsome appearance. It has a very short stem, 

 and is a compact grower. Shortness of stem is so 

 characteristic as to be associated with the very 

 best strains of this cabbage, and the stock which 

 we offer is thoroughbred in this and all other 

 respects. This cabbage, like Prize Flat Dutch, has 

 so long been an established standard that certain 

 peculiarities have been bred into It, and have be- 

 come so firmly fixed as to be necessary features 

 of growth. It is as natural for this cabbage to 

 form a head as to form leaves, and reports of 99> 

 marketable heads from 100 plants are of frequent 

 occurrence. Nobody will be disappointed In our 

 strain of Short Stemmed Drumhead, for it far 

 surpasses the old-fashioned strains of the same 

 name, with heads of deeper and better shape, 

 maturing in 120 days. It is a standard sort for 

 winter keeping or kraut making, and sells read- 

 ily in the winter and spring markets. 



Packet, 10 cents; balf ounce, Z5 cents; 



onnce,43 cents; quarter pound, SI. 10; 



pound, $4,00, postpaid. 



CAUUFLOWER 



To obtain pure white heads, 

 tie or bend the leaves over 

 to keep out the light. 



Culture. — A gross feeder, and well repays heavy manuring and high culture. It succeeds best on well drained soil. Start plants in frame or 

 seed bed, and transplant. Seed for early cauliflower may be started in Autumn in a cold frame, or in eirly Spring in a hot bed. For main crop. 

 Summer and Autumn, the seed should be sown in May or June. A packet will produce about 150 plants, an ounce about 3000 plants; J^ pound 

 for an acre. Set the plants 2 to 3 feet apart each way. Ready to use in 85 to 120 days. Fight worms with Bug Death, Hellebore or Slug Shot. 



166 Early Snowball Cauliflower 



Large Solid White Heads. A Sure Cropper 



This standard variety is known everywhere, either in the home garden 

 or with the market gardeners. Produces large solid white heads when 

 conditions are ordinarily favorable in about 90 days. Averages about 

 9 inches and often attaias'a size of 12 inches in diameter. 



Being one of the earliest strains of cauliflower it becomes one of the 

 most popular sorts, either for forcing under glass during winter and 

 spring, or for planting in the open ground. The plants are of compact 

 habit, which enables close planting, producing one-third more heads on 

 the same space of ground than can be procured from most other sorts, 

 excepting Maule's Prize Earliest. 



A desirable variety for sowing in the early Spring, as well as for late 

 Summer or for Fall use outdoors. 



Packet, 30 cents; quarter ounce, 80 cents; ounce, gS.OO; 

 quarter ^ound, $10.00; pound, $3'?.^, postpaid. 



U5 Dry Weather Cauliflower 



Reaches Perfection When Ordinary Sorts Fciil 



This desirable strain originated in Denmark, but has been 

 fully tested in America -with the most favorable results. It pro- 

 duces a large, solid, pure white head, maturing in about 95 

 days, a little later than Maule's Prize Earliest. It is in all 

 respects a first-class cauliflower, but is especially and pecu- 

 liarly adapted to dry situations and to resisting the effects of 

 droughts. It will also do well in moist or wet seasons, raaking 

 heads equal to any. Excellent home or market sort. 



Packet, 20 cents; quarter ounce, 90 cents; otuice, $3.25; 

 quarter pound, $11,00; po~und, $4O.00, postpaid.
