24—Vegetable Seeds 
THE MAULE SEED BOOK FOR 1915 
There are a number of sea islands along the South Carolina sea coast 
where the soil and climatic conditions are just suited for growing 
tough, hardy cabbage plants during the winter and early spring. The 
seed is planted in the open field in the months of October, November, 
December, January and February. The plants make a slow but steady 
growth, until at 8 to 10 weeks of age they are very tough and hardy, the 
buds are purple and the outer leaves a reddish brown. When in this 
condition they can be shipped to territory further north and planted in 
the open ground a month to 6 weeks sooner than the home-grown hot 
bed or cold frame plants could be planted. These frost proof cabbage 
plants will stand a temperature of 8 to 10 degrees above zero without 
injury, the land freezing, or the plants being covered with ice, sleet or 
snow after they are planted will not injure them. 
The top of the plant does not grow until your regular spring weather 
opens up, but the roots grow from the time they are planted and just 
as soon as spring weather starts, the established root growth assimi- 
headed cabbage 10 days to-3 weeks sooner than you can mature them 
from hot bed and cold frame plants. You know what the difference in 
profit will be if your crop is matured and marketed before the general 
crop from home grown plants is matured.
