MAULE'S GENUINE SURE-HEAD CABBAGE. 



ALL HEAD AND ALWAYS SURE TO HEAD. 

 Now in the tenth year of its popularity, and still more popular than ever. Demand last year for Mau/e's 



Genuine Seed greater than ever before. 

 If you want to make more money than you have ever done planting cabbage, sow Maule's Sure-Head this year. 

 $100 PAID FOR THE HEAVIEST HEAD RAISED FROM MAULE'S SEED IN 1887. 



In ISSo I offered S50 for the largest 

 head of Sure-Head grown during the 

 year. This premium was secured by 

 Alfred Rose, Penn Yan, N. Y., who 

 raised a head weighing root and all, 64% 

 lbs., and weighing over 35 lbs. trimmed 

 for market. Last year I again offered 

 850, and Mr. Hugh Beyer, South Bend, 

 Ind., secured the premium with a cab- 

 bage weighing 60% lbs., root and all, and 

 which, dressed, weighed 42% lbs. Below 

 I give a letter Mr. Beyer sent me when 

 forwarding his sworn affidavit:— 



" I extend to you my most sincere 

 thanks for the seeds I bought of your 

 house. I sent you, the other day, a 

 Giant Stuttgart Radish weighing more 

 than 10 lbs. I had some considerable 

 heavier, but not proportioned. Your 

 Ruby King Pepper beat all I have ever 

 produced. Genuine Sure-Head Cabbage 

 was greatly admired by all who saw the 

 patch, and* very few people ever saw finer 

 specimens than the one exhibited at our 

 State fair, weighing, dressed, 42 lbs. 4 oz. 

 I had 10 Sure-Head Cabbages from your 

 seed at the Northern Indiana and 

 Michigan Southern fairs, with a total 

 weight oi 340 lbs. Who can beat this? 

 August Beyer, South Bend, Ind.

For 1887 I offer a prize of 

 $100 for the largest head grown 

 of Maule's Genuine Sure-Head. 

 Let us see which State will come 

 up head this year. Such a prize 

 was never before offered for any 

 cabbage, and I expect lively 

 competition from my customers.

£ A FEW TESTIMONIALS SELECTED 



FROM THOUSANDS RECEIVED 

 FROM MAULE'S SURE- 

 HEAD CABBAGE.

B. \V. Carr. Penn Yan. X. Y.: " I have thirtv- 

 eight heads of Sure-Head Cabbage which weigh

IF YOU have nevfr sown Sure-Head. I might almost say you don't 

 know what good cabbage Is. Many will laugh at this" asst-rtion. 

 but after eight years' thorough test during which time it has been 

 sown by at least 100,000 planters in all sections of the countrv to their 

 entire satisfaction, I FEEL FILLY JUSTIFIED IX MAKING 

 THIS BOLD STATEMENT. I cannot recollect during this period of 

 ever having a serious complaint, while the good reports, some of them 

 almost bejoud belief, have come to hand bv the thousands. If you 

 want a cabbage ALL HEAD AND ALWAYS SURE TO HEAD, 

 j on have it without a donbt in Maule's Genuine Sure-Head. 



A few of the many excellent qualities possessed by this cabbage are the 

 remarkable uniformity with which it always heads, the heads being 

 unusually hard, firm, and fine in texture. It has comparatively few loose 

 leaves, keeps well, is good for shipping, and is just the variety and qual- 

 ity to suit all lovers of good cabbage. It was originated by crossing the 

 Flat Dutch and Drum-head by a practical gardener of long experience, 

 who has never found any variety that sells so readily to his trade, and 

 justly claims that it is unequaled by any cabbage raised in Xew 

 -'ersey for the Philadelphia market. AS PERFECTED TO-DAY, 



THIS CABBAGE IS UNDOUBTEDLY THE BEST MARKET 

 VARIETY. IT IS ALWAYS SURE TO HEAD. EVEN WHEN 

 OTHERS FAIL. After having gained such an enviable local reputa- 

 tion among experienced market gardeners, who should well know their 

 own wants, I brought it before the public, confident it would soon 

 become everywhere equally as popular. 



-»PRICES FOR 1887.^ 



I am glad to offer Maule's Genuine Sure-Head the coming 

 season at the same price as last year. $4.00, however, is 

 my lowest price per lb., because my carefully grown, strictly 

 genuine seed is worth it, and even more. Previous to 1884, 

 I never sold it for less than $1.00 per oz. Pkt., 10 cts.; 

 oz., 40 cts.; 2 oz., 75 cts.; 1-4 lb., $1.25 ; lb., $4.00.
