THE 

 MOUSER 



The Latest Cabbage 

 of Them All. 



THE 



H0U5ER 



This excellent cabbage is iu very wide 

 favor, and thousands of my friends tes- 

 tify to its value. It is at least two weeks 

 later than any strain of the Late Flat 

 Dutch type. In solidity it is almost as 

 hard as the renowned Danish Ball Head. 

 It is very compact in habit of growth, 

 the leaves closely surrounding and over- 

 lapping the head. The shape and ap- 

 pearance are shown in the illustration. 



In size the Houser cabbage will aver- 

 age about 12 pounds at maturity, and the 

 heads are uniformly handsome. The 

 shape is round and deep, as indicated ; 

 and when a head cracks or bursts it is 

 always at the stem end, which does not 

 destroy its use for market. 



In quality the Houser cabbage equals 

 the best, being very free from the coarse 

 ribs found in most late sorts. In fact, I 

 would say that the Houser cabbage is 

 ver^' well bred, and in the careful trials 

 and comparative tests on my experi- 

 mental grounds, it has shown up excel- 

 lently with all other late sorts. It is a strong, vigorous grower, 

 with ability to withstand drought better than most varieties. 



Its true merit is shown by the demand for it. It 

 behaves well in the field and sells well in the market, and 

 adapts itself to various conditions of soil and climate. 



In respect to its keeping qualities, in winter storage, I 

 have only to say that it is perfect, Indeed, it is because the 

 Houser is so extremely late and is such an excellent keeper 

 that it has attained such wide popularity. I ofTer stock 



direct from the introducer. 

 Packet, lO cents; ounce, 40 cents; quarter pound, $1.25; pound, $4.00. 



Immensity Eettuce. 



A..»^ 











IMMENSITY LETTUCE. 



This new lettuce is claimed to be with- 

 out exception the very largest lettuce in 

 cultivation. Notwithstanding its great 

 size it is tender, sweet and crisp. It i^ro- 

 duces a line large, solid head, often 3 feet 

 in circumference and 12 inches in diam- 

 eter. It has great heat resisting qualities, 

 being slow to run to seed, so that it is very- 

 reliable for a late crop when many other 

 sorts are unlit for use. Do not be preju- 

 diced on account of the great size of Im- 

 mensity, as it is not coarse, even the outer 

 leaves being tender. Packet, 10 cts. ; ounce, 

 20 cts.; \ pound, 60 cts.; pound, |2.00. 



Mrs. Mattie Holder, Oxford, La.— I liave always hadi 

 cause to praise your seeds and your prompt and cour- 

 teous dealings. Owing to neglect last year I failed to 

 order seed from j'ou, and I had no garden. The seed I 

 purchased were old and of inferior quality. You may 

 \ expect an order from me as long as I plant a garden. 



H. A. Higgins, M. D., Glenn, Ind. Ter.— I cannot speak 



too highly of your garden seeds. I used to plant 



Seeds, and sometimes had a stand, but more often had 

 not. After trying your seeds with just the same kind of 

 treatment and planting, I never fail to get a good stand. 



T. Greiner, JLaSalle, N. Y. I want to compliment you 

 on the wonderful promptness with which my order was 

 e.xecuted. Neither haye I any reason to be otherwise 

 than pleased with the prices, and I feel safe as to the 

 quality of the seeds. In fact, I have had all I want of the 

 seeds I have bought cheaper than yours. 



J. H. Callahan, Baileyton. Tenn.— I have tried seeds 

 from three different seedsmen, hut do not find any half as 

 good as yours. Maule's Seeds conae up better and produce 

 finer and better vegetable than any I have ever planted.
