Our Frost Proof Cabbage Plants 



Will Double Your 

 Profit, Why? 



There are a number of sea islands along the South Carolina sea coast 

 and the gulf coast of Louisiana 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 tliey 

 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 terri- 

 tory 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 thera. 



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- 

 lates the fertilizer in the soil, the plants grow very fast, maturing 

 headed cabbage 10 days to 3 weeks sooner than you can mature them 

 from hot bed and cold frame plants. You know what the ditference in 

 profit will be if vour cii>\ i^ matured and marketed before the general 

 Clop fiom home _ii « n j 1 mts is matured.

Maule's Genuine Surehead Cabbage 



All Head and Always Sure to Head 



We watch with great care all the new cabbages, aud test them 

 at our Panmure trial grounds, but we still think that Sure- 

 head for main crop will do the most good for the most people. 

 No other cabbage in America today has all the merits of 

 Maule's Genuine Surehead. 



People who have never sown Maule's Surehead do not 

 know what good cabbage is. The Surehead is the greatest 

 and most profitable cabbage ever introduced, that has, for such 

 a long term of years, maintained so wide a popularity. This 

 is proven by the testimony of over 100,000 planters, in all 



sections of the countrv, representing all conditions of soil, 

 elevation, climate aud'eultural treatment. We can truthfully 

 repeat the statements made in former catalogues, that while 

 no serious complaints, even in isolated cases, have ever been 

 made against this justly celebrated cabbage, thousands of 

 tongues and pens are ready to tell of its worth. 



Maule's Surehead is a late variety, with head as large as 

 Flat Dutch. It is almost absolutely uniform iu growth. The 

 heads are firm and hard, elegant for kraut; the cabbage keeps 

 well, is a splendid shipper, giving satisfaction everywhere. 



Packet, 10 cents; ounce, 30 cents; quarter pound, 85 cents; pound, $3.00, postpaid
