THE MAULE SEED BOOK FOR 1909 



FIELD CARROTS.

 anv time before July 1, half an Inch below the surface, in rows 24 to 80 

 fnVfhes™ part Thin to 6 inches in the row. Two pounds of seed to the

DRY WEATHER CAULIFLOWER. 



Dry Weather Cauliflower 



Especially Adapted to Resist Drought. 

 Reaches Perfection When Ordinary Sorts Fall. 



This new strain originated in Denmark, but has been fully tested In 

 America with he most happy results. I offered it in 1901 for the 

 firTt time, and am well satisfied with its behavior. It produces a 

 far^e, ,™1 d, pure white head, maturing a little later than Maule s 

 Prize Earliest. It is in all respects a first-class cauliflower but is 

 especially and peculiarly adapted to dry situations and to Mtatang the 

 effects of droughts. It will not thrive in poor soil or under bad treat 

 ment, as like all other cauliflowers it requires manure and culture, but 

 it will succeed with less rainfall than any other variety within my 

 knowled-e. It will also do well in moist or wet seasons, making heads 

 .equal to the best; but it is in dry seasons that its merits appear to best 

 advantage, and I am confident that it will extend the culture of this 

 delicious vegetable into locations in which it is practically "nknoun.

MAULE'S ALWAYS HEADS CAULIFLOWER. 



ante's Always Heads 



The name well illustrates the strongest characteristic of this cauli- 

 flower, that in season and out of season it can always be depended upon 

 ao make a head. I secured it from one ol the most expert cauliflower 

 Irowers fn Denmark, who- for many years has considered 'Always 

 Head-" absolutely head and shoulders above ^ry other cauliflower 

 as he has raised 99 heads 8 to 10 inches across from every 100 plants 

 tear after year. He resides in a district where hundreds of acres of
