DANISH BALL HEAD CABBAGE. 



125 DANISH BALL HEAD is swelling the bank account of 

 thousands of my customers every year. My strain of this 

 seed is simply unsurpassed. If you want the highest price 

 per ton in car lots, you must plant Maule's Seed of this cab- 

 bage. 2,500 cars at least of my Danish Ball Head Cabbage are 

 sold every Fall and Whiter in New York City at top prices. 



In describing my Danish Ball Head Cabbage, I do not 

 know how I can do better than refer to the above photograph 

 which was sent me last Fall by Mr. T. H. Haskett, London, 

 Ontario, Canada. Mr. Haskett has this to say about it : 



"I am sending you under separate cover a proof of a pictui'e I have 

 had taken of Danish Ball Head Cabbage, the seed of which I purchased 

 of you. I sowed one pound of seed and transplanted thirty thousand 

 plants. I have, I believe, the best three acres of cabbage in Ontario. 

 The picture was taken just three months after the seed was sown, and I 

 have sold the entire crop in the field as they are for S800.UL) cash. 1 can 

 highly recommend your seed, and in the future you can count on me 

 as a customer for any seeds 1 might need. The entire crop was hand 



hoed by the old gentleman who is standing with his wife in the picture. 

 The others in the picture are myseU andson." 



I have received hundreds of letters regarding my Danish 

 Ball Head, similar to the above. 



The wide and unfailing popularity of Danish Ball Head 

 Cabbage is simply wonderful. It seems to adapt itself to all 

 soils and conditions. The leading characteristics of Danish 

 Ball Head Cabbage are: First, that it is a sure header; second, 

 that it is of unapproachable solidity and weight; third, that 

 it is an extra good keeper; and fourth, that it is a good seller. 



It is a medium to late cabbage, but is generally grown as a 

 late crop. It is sure to head, the heads being round, hard and 

 extremely heavy, though not extra large. It can be grown 

 in close quarters, on account of its compact habit. As to its 

 keeping qualities, it comes out of the pit in March or April 

 as fresh as when put in, and with absolutely no waste. It is 

 popular in the markets of all the large cities. 



Packet, 10 cents; ounce, 30 cents; quarter pound, 85 cents; pound, $3.00.

Copenhagen Market 



Offered Last Year for the First Time 

 it Proved to be the Best Early Cabbage from Denmark 



Copenhagen Market is certainly a valuable new, early cab- 

 bage, producing round, hard heads very early in the season. 

 As early as the Charleston Wakefield. It is the most popu- 

 lar early cabbage in the markets of Copenhagen, Market 

 gardeners here who tried it for the first time last season are 

 simply crazy about it on account of its extreme earliness and 

 solid ten pound heads, with a small core and always of ex- 

 cellent quality. The plants are short stemmed, producing 

 heads almost on the ground. The light green colored leaves 

 are medium in size, saucer shaped, and are always tightly 

 folded; the plants may therefore be set closer than most 

 other early varieties. It is a vigorous grower and yielder, as 

 are all cabbages from Denmark, and an excellent keeper. 

 My stock of Copenhagen Market comes to me direct from 

 the originator, my supply is limited to a little over 100 lbs. 



Packet, 10 centsj quarter ounce, 30 cents; half ounce, 50 cents; 

 ounce, 90 cents: quarter pound, $2.50: pound, $9.00.
