Two Good Cabbages — Extremely Early and Extremely Late 



* 120 Maule's Extremely Early Baby Ballhead Cabbage 



An Excellent Early, Round, Solid Head Sort for the Home Garden 

 The Best Early Basket Cabbage for the Market Gardener or for Forcing 



This extremely earl5' cabbage, on account of its short stem 

 and few outer leaves, can be grown closer together than any 

 other sort; in fact, it can be grown as close as eight or nine 

 inches apart in the row. Just what is wanted for the home 

 garden where space is limited. 

 Its .extreme earliness makes it a desirable sort for forcing 



produciug firm, well-shaped, round heads in about 68 days 



from timejaf sowing the seed. Maule's Extremely Early 

 Baby Ballhead Cabbage produces small, unusually solid 

 white heads which are crisp and of delicious quality iu 

 about six weeks after setting out the plants. The peculiar 

 advantage of this extremely early cabbage is that it requires 

 very little space to grow, in comjiarison to other early 

 varieties of cabbage; also its remarkable firmness and 

 delicious taste. 



Our stock, which we ofFer to our customers, is the 

 originator's stock, grown in Denmark, which we highly 

 recommend. Advise ordering early, our supply is limited. 

 Packet, 25 cents; 3 packets, 70 cents; 

 half ounce, $1.00; ounce, $1.75, postpaid. 



THE HOUSER— The Latest Cabbage of Them All 



120 MAULE'S EXTREMELY EARLY BABY BALLHEAD CABBAGE. 



* 135 



This excellent cabbage is iu very wide 

 favor, and thousands of our friends testify 

 to its value. It is at least two weeks later 

 than any strain of the Late Flat Dutch 

 type. In solidity it is almost as hard as 

 the renowned Danish Ball Head. It is 

 very compact in habit of growth, the 

 leaves closely surrounding and overlap- 

 ping the head. The shape and appearance 

 are shown in the illustration. 



In size the Houser cabbage will average 

 about 12 pounds at maturity, and the 

 heads are imiformly handsome. The 

 shape is round and deep, as indicated, 

 and when a head cracks or bursts it is 

 always at the stem end, which does not 

 destroy its use for market. 



In quality the Houser cabbage equals 

 the best, being very free from the coarse 

 ribs found in most late sorts. In fact, we 

 would say that the Houser cabbage is 

 very well bred, and in the careful trials 

 and comparative tests on our trial grounds, 

 it has shown up excellently with all other 

 late sorts. It is a strong, vigorous grower, 

 with ability to withstand drought better 

 than most varieties. 



Its true merit is shown by the demand 

 for it. It behaves well on the field aud 

 sells well in the market, and adapts itself 

 to various conditions of soil and climate. 



In respect to its keeping qualities in 

 winter storage, we have only to say that it 

 is perfect. Indeed, it is because the Houser 

 is so extremely late, maturing in about 

 130 days, aud is such an excellent keeper 

 that it' has attained such wide popularity. 

 We offer a reselected strain, grown from 

 the original stock.
