22 -MAULE’S NOVELTIES AND SPECIALTIES FOR 1904 ‘1 
The elebrated Lupton Cabbage. 








The Only Real Rival of the Famed Surehead. 
Again I present the great Lupton Cabbage as a 
leading specialty. No other late cabbage (except 
Surehead) can rival it. It holds the place of honor 
among my cabbage trials, as it has always done. 
Lupton has some of the best traits of Surehead, 
with the size and general shape of Maule’s Prize 
Flat Dutch; but is several days earlier than the 
latter. Its growth is particularly strong and vig- 
orous. Its color isa dark bluish green, indicating 
4 robust. constitution and healthy development. 
The leaves are broad and well filled out to their 
Z%y juncture with the stem. The stem is short, and 
broad under the head, but tapers almost to a 
point where it enters the ground. The head is 
thick and flat, with the outer leaves covering it 
well across the centre. It is very large, solid, and 
Z of the most excellent quality and flavor, without 
' any features of coarseness, the veins and ribs be- 
ing well developed, but not prominent. 
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 prominent seed firm in the country considers 
* him an authority on this important subject. In 
_ the autumn of 1888 a single specimen of a new 
. strain of cabbage was found growing as a sport 
in a field of Late Flat Dutch. Mr. Lupton, whose 
long experience qualifies him to act as an expert 
» judge, at once recognized a prize in the new sort, 
» and thus the Lupton cabbage had its origin. 
Lupton deserves, equally with Surehead, the cel- 
ebrated descriptive phrase, ‘all head and always » 
. sure to head.” It matures about a week in advance 
. of the various strains of Late Flat Dutch, is an ex- #5 | 
cellent keeper, and for all purposes of the farmer 9! 
and gardener, makes with Surehead the two best #' 
main crop cabbages now on the market.

THE LUPTON CABBAGE. 


$200 in Cash Prizes 
for the Ladies. 
I certainly think this catalogue is good enough not only to 
secure your order, but your neighbor’s as well. For a number 
of years I offered prizes to the men to get their neighbor to 
join with them and send in two orders in a single envelope. This 
year I have determined to give the ladies a chance, and give the 
men the go by. 
Full particulars will be found on page 129. 
Now in addition to you and your neighbor both receiving the col- 
lection of Show Flowers if your order amounts to $3.00 or over, as 
an extra inducement for the ladies to influence an order from 
their neighbors, I will pay $50.00 forthe largest combined order 
sent me in one envelope the coming season ; $40.00 for the second 
largest order ; $30.00 for the third largest ; $20.00 for the fourth 
largest ; $10.00 for the fifth largest, and $5.00 each for the next 
ten largest combined orders sent me up to July Ist next. Please 
remember this offer is only for the ladies. If your own order 
and that of one of your neighbors amounts to as much as $25 00 
or $30.00, it will have, I think, an excellent chance of securing the 
top cash prize of $50.00; certainly it is worth a little extra effort on 
the part of every woman receiving this book. 
Read page 129 carefully, 
where conditions are plainly given. 
I hope this new proposition will be so favorably received that I 
may feel like continuing it another season. 
Norr.—Your neighbor can be either a man or a woman. 
New White Bversreen 
Sweet Gorn. 
Originated by my old friend, Mr. C. S. Clark, of 
Ohio, who is naturally very enthusiastic in its praise. 
He says it is the good old Stowell’s Evergreen, only 
white instead of a dark white like Stowell’s. The in- 
troducers of White Evergreen the finest sweet corn 
in the world, and goes on to say that the stalks are of 
strong, vigorous growth, 6 to 7 feet high, ears are very 
large, uniformly well filled to the tip, with long slen- 
der grains of the purest whiteness and most delicious 


Sweet flavor. When in the green state both cob and 
grain are white as snow. Market gardeners, canners 
and all lovers of sweet corn have long been looking 
for a white sweet corn that is as good as Stowell’s. 
First offered last year in limited quantity, the seed is 
necessarily scarce and high in price. Packet, 15 cts.; 
pint, 30 cts.; quart, 50 cents, postpaid. Peck, $2.00.
