MAULE'S PRIZE FLAT DUTCH CABBAGE. 



134 Maule's 

 Prize Flat Dutch 



This cabbage is as -widely grown as any other in 

 the whole country. Continued care and critical 

 selection have secured a perfectly true stock of 

 seed. The heads of our Prize Flat Dutch are 

 very large, heavy, solid, flat on top, and of a bluish 

 green color. Our strain is a low growirjg variety, 

 with short stem and comparatively few outer 

 leaves. The quality is fine and the flavor ex- 

 cellent, the heads being white when cut and the 

 inside leaves crisp and tender. Our seed has 

 always been American grown, coming from the 

 celebrated Long Island districts, and whoever 

 purchases Maule's Prize Flat Dutch may be as- 

 sured of getting the best. It is everywhere a 

 favorite market variety. It matures slightly 

 earlier than Prize Drumhead; perhaps three to five 

 days sooner. Prize Flat Dutch is comparatively 

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

 most reliable winter keepers. We think this strain 

 will do better under partial neglect than any 

 other in the world, possibly excepting Surehead. 

 It has been so long bred to a standard that the 

 heading habit is thoroughly established as an es- 

 sential part of its growth, and it will produce a 

 head even when its size is stunted by dry weather.

 quarter pound, $1.25 ; pound, $4.50. 



124 Danish 

 Round Dead 



An Earlier Short Stemmed Strain of the 

 Famous Danish Ball Head 



In this strain we have very large, solid heads on 

 short stems, having the same keeping quality as 

 the original strain of Danish Ball Head, so widely 

 known. It is 10 days to 2 weeks earlier and pro- 

 duces a larger yield than any of the so-called 

 Danish cabbage that we have tried. It is especially 

 valuable for high, dry land, producing good sized 

 beads where other strains would be too small. For 

 shipping in the late fall or winter there is no finer 

 cabbage than this strain. Our stock of Danish 

 Round Head comes to us direct from the origi- 

 nator in Denmark and is so well bred that prac- 

 tically every plant will produce a good solid head 

 of uniform type. Pkt., 10 cts.; y, ounce, 35 cts.; 

 ounce, 60 cts.; '., pound, $3.00, postpaid. 



DANISH ROUND HEAD CABBAGE. 



MAULE'S PRIZE DRUMHEAD CABBAGE, 



133 Maule's 

 Prize Drumhead 



Short Stem 



Sureness in heading and regularity in growth 

 have placed this at the top of the list, and we 

 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 

 haudsome 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 

 we offer is thoroughbred in this and all other 

 respects. 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 

 form a head as to form leaves, and reports of 99 

 marketable heads from 100 plants are of frequent 

 occurrence. Nobody will be disappointed in our 

 strain of Short Stemmed Drumhead, for it far 

 surpasses the old-fashioned strains of the same 

 name, being quicker and more certain to mature, 

 with heads of deeper and better shape. It is a 

 standard sort for winter keeping, and sells read- 

 ily in the winter and spring markets.
