WM. HENRY MAULE, PHILADELPHIA, PA. 49 
A splendid money crop where the soil is rich and the climate cool and damp. 
CULTURE.—Same as cabbage. Sometimes the seed is sowed in September, and the young 
plants wintered over, to save time in spring. Pin or tie the leaves together after the head 
or flower has begun to form. This will preserve the snowy‘whiteness. An ounce of seed 
will produce about 8,500 plants if carefully managed.

MAULE’S PRIZE EARLIEST.—Heads the 
list as the earliest, finest and handsomest cauli- 
flower. Wuether for forcing under glass or 
growing in the open ground, and whether 
planted early or late, it is the surest header of 
all. It is very dwarf and compact in habit of 
growth, like the Snowball, and can be planted 
as close as 18 inches each way for forcing, or 
where space is limited. Maule’s Prize Earliest 
is particularly desirable for forcing under 
glass, while in my open air trials every plant 
has produced a bead, excelling all other varie- 
ties in earliness, size and quality. It is un- 
questionably ahead. Packet, 25 cts.; 144 ounce, 
$1.00; ounce, $3.00; 14 pound, $10.00. 
AUTUMN GIANT.—This is a large variety, 
with fine, well-proportioned heads. ‘The heads 
are so well protected by the foliage as to remain 
along time fit for use. Adapted to late culture. 
Packet, 10 cents; ounce, 50 cents; 144 pound, $1.75. 
ALWAYS HEADS.—(See yellow pages.) 
DRY WEATHER.—(See yellow pages.) 
Packet, 10 cts.; ounce, 60 cts.; 14 pound, 
EARLY SNOWBALL. — One of the most 
popular standard sorts. It belongs to the 
Same group of cauliflowers as Maule’s Prize 
Earliest and stands next to it in point of earli- 
ness and excellence. Produces heads 9 inches 
across in this latitude by June 10th, and under 
good treatment every plant will produce a head. 
Packet, 20 cents; 14 ounce, 75 cents; ounce, $2.50. 
EARLIEST DWARF ERFURT.—This is 
a first-class cauliflower, and next to my 
Prize Earliest and Snowballis the best and 
surest to head. It would be a leader, except for 
the two especially fine types above mentioned. 
AS it is, it finds special favor in many sections. 
Packet, 15 cents; 144 ounce, 75 cents: ounce, $2.50. 
EXTRA EARLY PARIS.—Very early, pro- 
ducing a good, white head. Head is large, solid 
and compact. This cauliflower is frequently 
used in forcing. Pkt., 10c.; oz., 60c.; 14 Ib., $2.25. 
EARLY LONDON.—This is an early variety, 
sure to head, and excellent in VOR. way. 
$2.25.
