Maule's Midsummer Cabbage 



Controls the Market from Jane to October 

 Best of All for Warm Weather 



This intermediate sort matures soon after 

 Early Summer, producing much larger 

 heads, of unsurpassed beauty and solidity. 

 It has noteworthy compactness of growth, 

 which permits close planting. Indeed, as 

 many plants may be set to the acre as of 

 the Early Bummer cabbage. 



Midsummer is a remarkably sure and 

 uniform header, and is one of the most 

 profitable market varieties. June until 

 October. It is a truly fine summer cab- 

 bage in all respects. 



Maule's Midsummer cabbage has met 

 with wide appreciation and hearty endorse- 

 ment, and we do not know of a sort of more 

 commercial importance to market garden- 

 ers for warm weather culture.

Just a word in commendation of the garden seeds 

 purchased from yon last spring. From them we had 

 the best garden that we have had since coming here eight 

 years ago. Took second prize on general display of vege- 

 tables at County Fair and two of my neighbors took first 

 and second on best cabbage from plants of Copenhagen 

 Market and Lnpton that I gave them in the spring. 



EUGENE F. TURNER, Bridger, Montana 



The Danish Ball Head cabbage 1 raised from your 

 seeds were the finest I ever saw, large, round, solid and 

 crisp, Those I put away for winter use are now as solid, 

 white and crisp as when first stored. I regard your 

 seeds the best and truest to name of any I ever planted.

A Leading Winter Cabbage 

 of Our Introduction 



The Lupton cabbage began its career in 1888, on the eastern end of 

 Long Island, in an extensive cabbage growing district. The origin- 

 ator, whose name the cabbage bears, is undoubtedly the largest 

 grower of first-class cabbage seed in America and every prominent 

 seed firm in the country considers him an authority on this important i 

 subject. Lupton has some of the best traits of Surehead, with the size 

 and general shape- of Maule's Prize Flat Dutch, but is several days 

 earlier than the latter. Its growth is particularly strong and vigorous. 

 Its color is a dark bluish green, indicating robust constitution and 

 healthy development. The leaves are broad and well filled out to 

 their juncture with the stem. The stem is short, and broad under the 

 head, but tapers almost to a point where it enters the ground. The 

 head is thick and flat, with the outer leaves covering it well across 

 the centre. It is very large, solid, and of the most excellent quaiity, 

 without any features of coarseness, the veins and ribs being well devel- 

 oped, but not prominent. Our seed is, of course, all grown by originator.

DANISH SUMMER BALL HEAD CABBAGE. 



Danish Summer Ball Head 



The Earliest Strain of the Famous 

 Danish Ball Head Cabbage 



The Danish Summer Ball Head cabbage is taking the place among 

 the early varieties that the Danish Ball Head holds among the later 

 sorts. In season it follows right after the early sorts, producing much 

 larger heads of a light green color, extremely hard and solid, interior 

 leaves bleached to the purest whiteness; of sweet flavor and crisp, 

 tender texture. Long keeping and of superb quality. It resembles 

 the Winter Danish Ball Head quite closely. On light soil it does 

 particularly well, being a sure header. It is a truly fine early cabbage 

 in all respects. It has a noteworthy compactness of growth, which 

 permits close planting. Indeed, as many plants may be set to the acre 

 as of the All Head Early Cabbage. Its beautiful large, round heads 

 are less attacked by worms, bugs and diseases; being extremely hardy 

 it does well under adverse circumstances and pleases the most critical 

 market gardeners. It has become a general favorite on account of 

 adapting itself to all conditions. Our stock is grown in Denmark. 

 Packet, 10 cents; half ounce, 35 cents; ounce, 65 cents, postpaid.
