134 Maule’s Prize Flat Dutch 
{Heads large, round, flattened, and very firm (100 days) 
An old reliable variety. Heads are very large, heavy, solid, flat 
on the top but deep. Leaves are a bright bluish green. Our strain 
is low growing, with a short stem and vigorous plant growth, 
reaching almost 3 ft. in diameter under average conditions. Heads 
become firm and solid while still rather smal] so that you can 
start to use them in late summer and continue to cut until late 
fall. Grown principally in the northern states, where it is used 
as a main late crop. In addition to being a home garden favorite, 
the variety is frequently used for market, shipping, and quite 
often also for sauerkraut. Heads attain 10 to 12 lbs. in weight. 
One of the best winter keepers. Pkt. 10¢; 1/2 oz. 20¢; oz. 35¢. 
131 Maule’s Genuine Surehead 
Widely adapted; large, heavy, thoroughly reliable (90 days) 
One of Maule’s very first introductions, in 1877, this remarkable 
cabbage was a strong factor in establishing Maule’s seeds as lead- 
ers in the industry. For 36 successive years a full catalog page 
was devoted to Surehead. The increased popularity of small 
headed strains has caused fewer acres to be-planted to this vari- 
ety, but anyone wishing a large, hard, somewhat flattened, 10 lb. 
head should grow Maule’s Surehead. This variety is absolutely 
reliable, a perfect winter keeper, and still the unchallenged fa- 
vorite of thousands of gardeners. Winter*damage has created a 
seed shortage of many cabbage varieties, including Surehead 
which we are able to offer in packets and % ounces only.

Maule’s Genuine Surehead 
113 Maule’s Prize Jersey Wakefield 
A favorite with pointed heads (65 days) 
Our special strain of this famous Early Jersey Wakefield Cabbage 
represents a decided improvement in earliness, uniformity, and 
quality. The conical or pointed heads form quickly and are 
tightly folded. The heads are 7 in. deep, 4% to 5 in. across and 
weigh 2% to 3 lbs.; their attractive shape and extreme earliness 
make them welcome in many gardens. Pkt. 10¢; 1 oz. 20¢; oz. 30¢. 
Culture: Sow early and midseason cabbage seed indoors or under glass about 
the middle of February for earliest crop. Set plants in the garden or field when 
the soil has become warm. For medium early cabbage, seed may be started in 
a frame or open ground seedbed early in the spring and the plants set in the open 
when large enough to handle. Late cabbage seed is sown in a specially prepared 
bed in late May or early June, and the plants set out in early July, 1% ft. 
apart in rows 3 ft. apart. A packet of seed will produce about 250 plants; an 
ounce about 2,000 plants; 24 lb. for an acre. Days to maturity are from field 
setting of plants; allow 30 days for plant production. 
CABBAGE 
111 Maule’s First Early * 
Earliest of the large, flat heads (80 days) 
Its plant type and its attractive head type are almost ideal for 
every use. It is the earliest of the large, flat-head cabbages, 
and excels all other early varieties in solidness. Its excellent qual- 
ity and tenderness have made it a great favorite. The heads are 
5% to 6 in. deep, 8 to 9 in. across, and weigh 5 to 7 Ibs. This ex- 
clusive Maule variety competes with Copenhagen Market and 
Jersey Wakefield because so many people prefer a solid, flat head 
to the round or pointed shapes. Pkt. 10¢; 14 oz. 25¢; oz. 45¢. 
127 Glory of Enkhuizen 
Round solid heads of superior quality (82 days) 
A splendid, medium-early cabbage with large, solid, round heads 
8 to 9 in. across, weighing 5 to 7 lbs. each, and often more. The 
leaves are finely ribbed, exceedingly tender, and remarkably well 
flavored. Good for making sauerkraut, or boiling, and delicious 
when prepared as slaw. Pkt. 10¢; 14 oz. 25¢; oz. 40¢. 
141 Drumhead Savoy 
Crumpled leaf cabbage (90 days) 
Of a milder, more pleasing flavor than the regular cabbages. 
There is a certain delicacy about this variety that appeals greatly 
to people who dislike either the strong flavor or odor of other 
kinds. The heads are large, heavy, compact, round, and some- 
what flattened; the average weight is 5 lbs., although they often 
grow much larger. Leaves are attractively wrinkled and crum- 
pled, even into the center of the head. It is a splendid winter 
keeper. The Drumhead is the best of the savoy cabbages, and our 
strain is carefully selected for uniformity and mildness of flavor. 
Pkt. 10¢; 14 oz. 20¢; oz. 35¢. 
118 Charleston Wakefield 
Larger than Prize Jersey Wakefield (72 days) 
Charleston Wakefield produces broad, heart-shaped heads, 8 in. 
high and 7 in. broad at the base, weighing about 4 lbs. each. It 
comes along in close succession to the earliest cabbages, being one 
of the first midseason varieties ready for cutting. The heads are 
larger and not so pointed as Prize Jersey Wakefield, and mature 
about 7 days later. A sure cropper and a heavy yielder. This 
variety is one of the best for overwintering in the South. Small 
plants go on to make an exceptionally early spring crop, less 
inclined to bolt to seed than other varieties. 
Pkt. 10¢; 12 oz. 20¢; oz. 30¢.
