DRY WEAIHER CAULIFLOWER. 



lesDry Weather Cauliflower 



Especially Adapted to Resist Drought. 

 Reaches Perfection When Ordinary Sorts Fail. 



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

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

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

 large, solid, 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 resisting the 

 etlects of droughts. It will not thrive "in poor soil or uiider 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 

 knowledge. 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 wliich it is practically unknown.

MAULE'S ALWAYS HEADS CAULIFLOWER. 



1S6 Maule's Always Heads Cauliflower 



A Sure Header, Large Solid Heads of Solid Whiteness. 



The name well illustrates the strongest characteristic of this cauli- 

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

 to make a head. I secured it from one of the most expert cauliflower 

 growers in Denmark, who for many years has considered "Always 

 Heads" absolutel.v head and shoulders above every other cauliflower, 

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

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

 Snowball and Earliest Dwarf Erfurt are annually grown, and has always 

 been able to secure top market prices for his entire product, besides 

 being equally as earl.v in the market. I am not prepared to say it is 

 better than Maule's l^rize Earliest, but consider it nearly as good.

MAULE'S DANVERS CARROT. 



Maule's Danvers Carrot 



This variety is well adapted to all soils and sections, and some years 

 leads my whole list in number of orders. It is half long in shape, 

 almost cylindrical, somewhat stump rooted, and of rich, dark orange 

 color. I claim that it will yield greater bulk and weight for a given 

 length of root than any other carrot now grown. Over 40 tons per acre 

 of Maule's Danvers have been grown, and a yield of 25 to 30 tons per 

 acre is not uncommon. C4rown extensively by market gardeners for 

 bunching and makes a handsome appearance on the market stalls; of 

 the finest quality. One of the most profitable sorts grown, which makes 

 it a widely popular and successful market carrot. Packet, 10 cents; 

 ounce, 15 cents; '^ poiiiid, 40 ceuts; pouud, SI. 35, postpaid. 



Reliable early variety, prodircing a good, white head. Head is large, 

 solid and compact. It is frequently used in forcing. Excellent in every 

 way. Packet, 10 cts.; ^^, oituce, 40 cts.; ounce, 75 cts.; ^4 lb., $3.35.

EXTRA EARLY PARISIAN FORCING CARROT. 



144 Extra Early Parisian Forcing Carrot 



This carrot is one of such quick growth that I think a good name for 

 it is the radish carrot, for it certainly matures as quickly as a radish. 

 The root is formed much quicker than the well known French p'orcing 

 carrot. It has a very fine neck and a rather hollow crown. Leaves are 

 short and erect, and while small are quite sufficient for earJy bunching; 

 good for forcing under glass or outdoors. It has been the first carrot on 

 the Parisian market foranumber of years and I can highly recommend 

 it to all my customers who desire a small, early, delicious carrot that 

 will mature as soon as many varieties of radish, but must be sown in 

 vei-y rich soil. Packet, 10 cts.; oz. 15 cts.; 14 lb., 40 cts.; lb., $1.50.
