Danish Round Head Cabbage stem 



THE 



HOUSER 



The Heaviest Yielding Strain, Often Producing 23 Tons Per Acre 



lu this strain we have very large, solid heads on short stems, produced in 110 days, having the same keeping quaUty as 

 the original strain of Danish Ball Head, so widely known. It is 10 days to 2 weeks earlier and produces a larger yield than 

 any of the so-called Danish cabbages. It is especially valuable for high, dry land, producing good sized heads where other 

 strains would be too small. For shipping in the late fall or winter there is no finer cabbage than this strain. Danish 

 Eouud Head is exceedingly hardy in resisting cold and stands dry weather well. Our stock comes to us direct from the 

 originator in Denmark and is so well bred that practically every plant will produce a good solid head.

135 The Houser— Latest Cabbage of Them 



This excellent cabbage is in very wide favor, and thousands of our friends testify 

 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 overlap- 

 ping the head. The shape and ai^pearance are shown in the illustration. 



In size the Houser cabbage will average 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 we would say that the Houser cabbage is very 

 well bred, and in the careful trials and comparative tests on our grounds, it has 

 shown up excellently with all other late sorts. It is a strong, vigorous grower, 

 with ability to witlistand 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. 



Its keeping qualities, in winter storage, are perfect. It is because the Houser is 

 so extremely late and is such an excellent keeper that it has attained such wide pop- 

 ularity. Owing to the scarcity of seed we can ofTer in packets only. 



Prices for 1922 — Packet, 25 cents; 3 packets, 70 cents, postpaid. 





134 MAULE'S PRIZE FLAT DUTCH CABBAGE. 



134 ivi alliens 

 Fringe Flat Dutch 



Well Known and Widely Grown 



■ i This cabbage is as widely grown as any other in 

 _-.^ the whole country. Continued care and critical 

 'J selection have secured a perfectly true stock of 

 / seed. The heads of our Prize Flat Dutch are 

 very large, heavy, solid, flat on top, and of a bluish 

 S\ gieen color. Our strain is a iow growing variety 

 with short stem and comparatively few outer 

 leaves. The quality is fine and the flavor ex- 

 cellent, the heads being white when cut and the 

 inside leaves crisp and tender. Our seed has 

 always been American grown, coming from the 

 celebrated Long Island districts, and whoever 

 purchases Maule's Prize Flat Dutch may be as- 

 sured of getting the best. It is everywhere a 

 favorite market variety. It matures slightly 

 earlier than Prize Drumhead, producing heads in 

 about 110 days. Prize Flat Dutch is comparatively 

 fiee from a disposition to burst, and is one of the 

 most reliable winter keepers. We think this strain 

 will do better under partial neglect than any 

 other in the world, possibly excepting Surehead. 

 Packet, 8 cents; half onnce, 20 cents;
