THREE DESIRABLE CABBAGES— All Money Makers 
Nin as 
12 Succession Cabbage ae ‘ 
This cabbage is one of the Henderson introductions, and is unques- 
tionably an excellent variety. Itis alarge sort, with a flat head, matur- | 
ing in midsummer. It can be brought to perfection in the hottest ¢ 
weather, or may be used as an autumn or winter crop. The heads 
average ten to twelve inches in diameter, but are frequently larger. The 
average weight per head is about twelve pounds. 
The introducers say of this cabbage: ‘‘ We consider it one of our most 
valuable contributions to horticulture. It would be classed as a second ¢ 
early variety, coming in a few days later than Harly Summer, but it is 
superior to that variety. Itis of nearly double the size, and is abso- 
lutely true to its type under all conditions. In addition to this, it has no 
tendency whatever to run to seed. * * It is so finely bred and so true 
to type that in a field of twenty acres every head appears alike.” ‘ 
It is avery handsome cabbage in make up and habit of growth, as well 3 
as high bred in quality. Indeed, the introducers are justified in regard- 
ing Succession as a true and individual type of cabbage.

133 Maule’s 
Prize Drumhead 
Sureness in heading and regularity in growth 
have placed this at the top of the list, and I 
have no fear of using words of praise too high for 
its merits. It forms very large, hard, solid, flat- 
, tened heads, uniform in shape and color, and of 
handsomeappearance. It has averyshort stem, 
and is a compact grower. Shortness of stem is so 
characteristic as to be associated with the very 
best strains of this cabbage, and the stock which 
I offer is thoroughbred in this and all other 
respects. This cabbage, like Prize Flat Dutch, has 
so long been an established standard that certain 
peculiarities have been bred into it, and have be- 
come so firmly fixed as to be necessary features 
of growth. It is as natural for this cabbage to 
form a head as to form leaves, and reports of 99 
marketable heads from 100 plants are of frequent 
occurrence. Nobody will be disappointed in my 
strain of Short Stemmed Drumhead, for it repre- 
sents the best principles of seed culture applied 
toa standard vegetable. My Prize Drumhead far 
Surpasses the old-fashioned strains of the same 
hame, being quicker and more certain to mature, 
with heads of deeper and better shape. It is a 
standard sort for winter keeping, and sells read- 
= ily in the winter and spring markets.

134 Maule’s Ay ‘re LG 
Prize Flat Dutch 
This cabbage is as widely grown as any other in 
the whole country. Continued eare and critical 
Selection have secured a perfectly true stock of 
seed. The heads of my Prize Flat Dutch are 
very large, heavy, solid, flat on top, and of a bluish c 
green color. My strain is alow 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. My 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; perhaps three to five 
days sooner. Prize Flat Dutch is comparatively 
free from a disposition to burst, and is one of the 
most reliable winter keepers. I think this strain 
will do better under partial neglect than any 
other in the world, possibly excepting Surehead. 
It has been so long bred to a standard that the 
heading habit is thoroughly established as an es- 
sential part of its growth, and it will produce a 
head even when its size is stunted by dry weather 
or other adverse condition.
