DANISH BALL HEAD. 



The Cabbage that is Swelling the Bank Account of Thousands of my Customers Every Year. 



My Strain of this Seed is Simply Unsurpassed. 



It is a medium to late cabbage, but is generally grown as 

 a late crop. It is sure to head, the heads being round, hard 

 aad extremely heavy, though not extra large. It can be 

 grown in close quarters, on account of its compact habit. As 

 to its keeping qualities, it comes out of the pit in March or 

 April as fresh as when put in, and with absolutely no waste. 

 It is popular in the markets of all the large cities. 



The wide and unfailing popularity of the Danish Ball 

 Head cabbage is simply wonderful. It seems to adapt itself 

 to all soils and conditions. 



The leading characteristics of Danish Ball Head cabbage 

 are : First, that it is a sure header ; second, that it is of un- 

 approachable solidity and weight; third, that it is an extra 

 good keeper ■, and fourth, that it is a good seller.

A Grand Leading Main Crop Sort of my Introduction. The Only Real Rival of the Famed Surehead. 



The Lupton cabbage began its career in 1888, on the 

 eastern end of Long Island, in an extensive cabbage 

 growing district. The originator, whose name the 

 cabbage bears, is undoubtedly the largest grower of 

 first class cabbage seed in America and every promi- 

 nent seed firm in the country considers him an author- 

 ity on this important subject. 



Lupton has some of the best traits of Surehead, with 

 the size and general sha;je of Maule's Prize Flat 

 Dutch, but is several days earlier than the latter. Its 

 growth is particularly strong and vigorous, its color 

 Is a dark bluish green, iudicating robust constitution 

 and healthy development. The leaves are broad and 

 well filled out to their juncture with 

 the stem, Vhe stem is short, and broad 

 under the head, but takers almost to a 

 point where 'it enters the ground. The 

 head is thick and rtat, with the outer 

 leaves covering it well across the cen- 

 tre. It is very large, solid, and of the 

 most excellent quality and flavor, 

 without any features of coarseness, the 

 veins and ribs being well developed, 

 but not prominent. 



Packet, lo cents; ounce, 25 cents; 



',, pound, 75 cents; pound, $2.50. 



MAULE'S MIDSUMMER. 



Controls the Market from June to October. 

 Best ol all for Warm Weather. 



This intermediate sort matures 

 soon after Early Summer, producing 

 much larger heads, of unsurpassed 

 beauty and solidity. It has a note- 

 worthy compactness of growth, 

 which permits close planting. In- 

 deed, as many plants may be set to 

 the acre as of the Early Summer 

 cabbage. 



Midsummer is a remarkably sure 

 and uniform header, and is one of 

 the most profitable market varieties 

 June until October. It is a truly fine 

 summer cabbage in all respects. 



Maule's Midsummer Cabbage has 

 met -with wide appreciation and 

 hearty endorsement, and I do not 

 know of a sort of more commercial 

 importance to market gardeners for 

 warm weather culture. Pkt., 10c;
