Maule's Genuine Surehead Cabbage 



All Head and Always Sure to Head 



We watch with great care all the new cabbages, and test them 

 at our Panmure trial grounds, but we still think that Sure- 

 head for main crop will do the most good for the most people. 

 No other cabbage in America today has all the merits of 

 Maule's Genuine Surehead. 



People who have never sown Maule's Surehead do not 

 know what good cabbage is. The Surehead is the greatest 

 and most profitable cabbage ever introduced, that has, for such 

 a long term of years, maintained so wide a popularity. This 

 is proven by the testimony of over 100,000 planters, in all 



sections of the country, representing all conditions of soil, 

 elevation, climate and cultural treatment. We can truthfully 

 repeat the statements made in former catalogues, that while 

 no serious complaints, even in isolated cases, have ever been 

 made against this justly celebrated cabbage, thousands of 

 tongues and pens are ready to tell of its worth. 



Maule's Surehead is a late variety, with head as large as 

 Flat Dutch. It is almost absolutely uniform in growth. The 

 heads are firm and hard, elegant for kraut; the cabbage keeps 

 well, is a splendid shipper, giving satisfaction everywhere.

The Houser — Latest Cabbage of Them All 



This excellent cabbage is in 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 over- 

 lapping 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 uniformly 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 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 in the field and 

 sells well in the market, and adapts itself to various conditions of soil and climate. 



Its keeping qualities, in winter storage, are perfect. It is because the Houser is so 

 extremely late and is such an excellent keeper that it has attained such -wide pop- 

 ularity. Owing to the scarcity of seed we cannot offer this variety in larger quantity 

 this year. Packet, .15 cents; 2 packets, 25 cents, postpaid.
