Wra. Peterman, Alberta, Mo.: "We were well pleajed with vour seeds. We 

 never had seeds to come up and grow as rapidlv as yours. You will have some big 

 orders from this neighborhood. Your Sure-Head Cabbage cannot be excelled. 

 Turner Hybrid Tomatoes are fine. I was never better pleased with seeds and will 

 blow my horn for you on the seed question the coming Spring." 



In 1885 I offered S50 for the largest head 

 of Sure-Head grown during the year. This 

 premium was secured by Alfred Rose, Penn 

 Van, N. Y., who raised a head weighing over 

 35 lbs. trimmed, for market. In 1886 I again 

 offered $50, and Mr. Aug. Beyer, South Bend, 

 Ind., secured the premium with a Cabbage 

 which, dressed, weighed 42% lbs. In 1887 I in- 

 creased the prize to $100, which amount was 

 paid Mrs. S. J. Brown, Bode, Iowa, for a head 

 weighing 46% lbs. Last year Michael Crowley, 

 Muskegon, Mich., secured the flOO with trie 

 largest head yet raised, weighing 62% pounds.

J. M. McFarland, Pomona, Kan.: "I have 

 used your seeds for three years, to the exclusion 

 of all others, and they have given me entire sat- 

 isfaction. I never could successfully raise Cab- 

 base until I bought seeds of you and since then 

 I have never failed. I now have a few hundred 

 sure-Heads that beat anything in the way of 

 Cabbage that I know of." 



M. Wetterling, Ionia, Mich.: " The seedsl pur- 

 chased of you, far exceeded my expectations. 

 I have some monstrous Sure-Head Cabbages, 

 which the closest observer would not be able 

 to detect any difference, either in size or shape." 



J. L. McKibben, Mossy Rock, W. T.: " Seeds 

 gave good satisfaction, especially the Sure-Head 

 Cabbage ; out of 200 plants I had 199 good heads." 



M. Seiver, Lexington, 111.: "YourSure-Head 

 and Winningstadt Cabbages are splendid. We 

 have the best Cabbage we have had for years." 



J. B. Briggs, Macedon, N. Y.: " Prizetaker is 

 the boss of them all. I have Onions grown under 

 very unfavorable conditions, 5 in. in diameter 

 and still growing. I have just seen a small patch 

 of Sure-Head— 270 plants set, and 269 heads. They 

 are selling at 5 cents a head, where the market 

 buyers are paying 1 cent for the general crop." 



Mrs. H. J. Smith, Ellicottville, N. Y.: 

 " Accept my thanks for the many extra packets 

 of seeds sent with my order. My Sure-Head 

 Cabbage is splendid ; in tact, better than I saw 

 at the Fair this Fall. Your seeds have been just as 

 represented and given the best of satisfaction." 



B. Boling, Salem, Ind.: '■ I bought your seeds 

 last season for the first time, and they are the 

 best I ever sowed. Lazy Wives Bean beats them 

 all. I raised the largest Beets I ever saw, and 

 as to my Sure-Head Cabbage raised from your 

 seeds, I wouldn't take $25.00 for it. I do not want 

 any premium on the things; the good of them 

 pays me. Maule's Cory Sweet Corn is the 

 earliest Corn I ever planted. My garden pays 

 me extra this year, as my seeds were all good." 



John A. Branger, Holden, Mo.: "Sure-Head 

 is ahead of all cabbages I ever tried. Before I 

 tried Sure-Head I always planted from 1000 to 

 1500 plants and did not have enough cabbage for 

 my own use, but planted about 700 Sure-Head 

 and had plenty for my own use and some to sell." 



J. D. Hite, Rockbridge Baths, Va.: "Sure- 

 Head Cabbage is a sight for any one to look at. 

 Every plant a head and the finest I ever saw." 



Geo. Kane, Green Isle, Minn.: " In regard to 

 the seeds purchased of you last Spring, I am 

 justified in saying that better seeds were never 

 sown. The Sure-Head Cabbage surpassed every 

 thing in that line I ever saw." 



W. Phillips, Clay Lick, O.: "I have the finest 

 Sure-Head Cabbage I ever raised. Some of the 

 heads will weigh 20 lbs. Every plant a large, solid 

 head. I can recommend Sure-Head to all." 

 Canister Hill, Rhodelia, Tenn.: "I am well pleased with your seeds. I don't 

 know which variety of Onions pleased me best, Red Wethersfield, Silver King or 

 Yellow Danvers, they are all good. Your Nichol's Cucumber beats the world for 

 bearing. Sure-Head Cabbage has the right name, every plant makes a head sure 

 enough, and the largest heads I ever saw." 



fF YOU have never sown Sure-Head, I might almost say you don't know 

 what good Cabbage is. Many will laugh at this assertion, but after 12 

 years' thorough test, during which time it has been sown by at least 100,000 

 planters in all sections of the country, to their entire satisfaction, I 

 FEEL. FULLY JUSTIFIED IN MAKING THIS BOLD STATE- 

 MENT. I cannot recollect during this period of ever having a serious com- 

 plaint, while the good reports, some of them almost beyond belief, have 

 come to hand by the thousands. If you want a Cabbage ALL HEAD AND 

 ALWAYS SURE TO HEAD, you have it without a doubt, in Maule's 

 Genuine Sure-Head. A few of the many excellent qualities possessed by this 

 Cabbage are the remarkable uniformity with which it always heads, the 

 heads being unusually hard, firm, and fine in texture, It has comparatively few 

 loose leaves, keeps well, is good for shipping and is just the variety and quality 

 to suit all lovers of good Cabbage. It was originated by crossing the Flat Dutch 



and Drum-Head by a practical gardener of long experience, who has never found 

 any variety that sells so readily to his trade, and justly claims that it is 

 unequalled by any Cabbage raised in New Jersey for the Philadel- 

 phia market. AS PERFECTED TO-DAY, THIS CABBAGE IS 

 UNDOUBTEDLY THE BEST MARKET VARIETY. IT IS AL- . 

 WAYS SURE TO HEAD, EVEN WHEN OTHERS FAIL. After 

 having gained such an enviable local reputation among experienced market- 

 gardeners, who should well know their own wants, I brought it before the pub- ' 

 lie, confident it would soon become everywhere equally as popular.
