Maule's 

 Prize Flat Dutch 



This cabbage is as widely grown as any other In 

 the whole countiv Continued caie and eiitical 

 selection ha\e secuied a peifectlv tiue stock of 

 seed. The heads of my Piize Flat Dutch aie 

 very lai ge, hea% y , sol id, flat on top, and of a bluish 

 green coloi. My stiam is a low growing ^allety, 

 with shoit stem and compaiatuely few outer 

 leaves. The qualitv is fine and the fla-\or ex- 

 cellent, the heads being white when cut and the 

 inside lea\ es eiisp and tendei JIv seed has 

 always been Ameiican giown, coming fioni the 

 celebiated Long Island distiicts, and whoever 

 purchases Maule's Pii/e Flat Dutch may be as 

 sured of getting the best. It is eveiywheie a 

 favoiite maiket vaiiety. It matuies slightlv 

 earlier than PiizeDiumhead, peihaps thiee to five 

 days soonei. Piize Flat Dutch is compaiatiNelv 

 free from a disposition to buist, and is one of the 

 most leliable wmtei keepers. I think this stiam 

 will do better under paitial neglect than am 

 othei m thewoild, possibly excepting feuiehead 

 It has been so long bied to a standaid that the 

 heading habit is thoroughly established as an es- 

 sential pait of Its growth, and it will produce a 

 head e% en when its size is stunted by dry weather 

 or othei ad\eise condition

Maule's 

 Prize Drumhead 



Short 

 Stem 



MAULE'S PRIZE DRUMHEAD CABBAGE. 



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 

 handsome appearance. It has a very short 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 

 lespects. 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 

 foi m 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 

 Btiain of Short Stemmed Drumhead, for it repre- 

 sents the best principles of seed culture applied 

 to a standard vegetable. My Prize Drumhead far 

 surpasses the old-fashioned strains of the same 

 name, being quicker and more certain to mature, 

 with heads of deeper and better shape. K is a 

 standard sort for winter keeping, and sells read- 

 ily In the winter and spring markets.
