Mr. Jas. (nveiis, Browntown, lnd,: "My Surelieail Cabbage, raised from seed 

 bought of von last season, was the finest Cabbage I ever raised in my life. Four 

 dressed heads ready for the kraut barrel weighed 50 pounds; while others here have 

 Called to raise any cabbage because they did not get your seeds, ours have been a 

 Success; every stalk a head and big at that. 1 am perfectly satisfied with your 

 cabbage and will plant no other." 



It. H. Duff, Millport, lnd.: " I am more than pleased with the seeds purchased of 

 you. The products from t hem are the wonder of t be neighborhood. The Sorehead 

 Cabbages are perfect monsters. Turner Hybrid Tomatoes are as luscious as a 

 pe ach. Ruby l< Ing aral i lolden Queen Peppers attract the attention of all who see 

 them. All the other seeds done equally as well." 



For 1890 I offer a prize of $100 for the

A FEW TESTIMONIALS SELECTED FROM 

 ■» THOUSANDS RECEIVED. * 



T. K. Aydelott, Fidelity, Ills.: "The seeds 

 were all first class. We never raised us fine a 

 garden, sorehead Cabbage, KubvKing Pepper, 

 and Turner Hybrid Tomatoes cannot be Deat, 

 and in fact all were "boss." 



Marion Bane, darksville. Pa.: "The seeds I 

 got of you last spring were all you recommended 

 them to be. Surehead Cabbage beats nnything I 

 ever saw. Most of the people arouia i.iere have 

 no cabbage at all, while we have good cabbage." 



J. T. Breedlove, Wool. 111.: "From the cab- 

 bage seed bought of you 1 have the finest cabbage 

 patch in the neighborhood. Surehead is the 

 lines! cabbage I ever saw. I cannot praise them 

 too highly. My Giant Pera Cucumbers are hard 

 to beat. Melon Peach is line. Maule's seeds are 

 the best every time." 



Mrs. J. M. Dunn, Yellow Springs. Pa.: "The 

 seeds I purchased of you last year gave entire 

 satisfaction. I do not think your Best of All Bush 

 and Lazy Wives Pole Beans can be excelled. 

 Our Surehead Cabbage is the admiration of the 

 neighborhood, and last but not least, that Wild 

 Flower Garden— ten times ten cents wouldn't 

 buy it." 



John K. Weaver, Silver Springs, Pa.: "The 

 seeds purchased of you last Spring were tip-top. 

 I planted about 500 plants of Surehead Cabbage, 

 and every plant made a nice large head. The 

 Golden Self-Blanching Celery looks splendid." 



A. K. Shearer, Kelly Sta.. Pa.: "I must say 

 your seed cannot lie beat. I think I have the 

 nicest cabbage in the country, ©ne bead of 

 Surehead weighed 15 pounds ready for use." 



A. U. Hill, Long Hollow, Tenn.: "I am 

 highly pleased with all the seeds purchased of 

 you. Surehead Cabbage has the right name ; I 

 planted half packet of seed for early cropping 

 when I visited the bed again in a few davs, to 

 my surprise 1 found it covered with more plants 

 than I bad sown seed. The saying is true, every 

 seed a plant, and every plant a bead. I got more 

 cucumbers from two vines of Nichol's Medium 

 Cucumbers than from a half a dozen of the old 

 kind. The SKiOu Tomatoes cannot be beaten as 

 to beauty and good solid meat and flavor. All 

 our neighbors and friends want Maule's seeds 

 next year. 



M. Cunningham, Marshall, Mo.: "Iwrite to 

 let you know what Maule's seeds have done for 

 me. The vegetables raiseil from them need no 

 recommendation, they sell themselves on sight. 

 I have ears of Mastodon 9 inches long, and 22 

 rows on cob, it has the largest grains I ever saw ; 

 have some ears of Mammoth Corn IS Inches 

 long. I have one thousand Surehead Cabbages, 

 which are the wonder of all who see them. 

 Turner Hybrid Tomatoes are the finest I ever 

 saw. People come for four and five miles to buy 

 my truck. I consider Maule's seeds worth their 

 weight in gold." 



' I consider that von are unquestlonablv the 



The 



Allen H. Fields. Millwood, lnd 

 most progressive and enterprising seedsman on the American Continent 

 seeds you send out, as I have reason to know from two years' experience, stand 

 unrivaled. My garden this year was pleasing to the eye anil was bard to beat. I 

 have just returned from tiie Bremen, Marshall Co., Fair, where I secured 20 

 premiums on SI entries; took 15 first and 5 second. On asking the parties who 

 downed me on these premiums, where they got their seeds they said of Maule. So 

 you see Maule's seeds are bound to take the lied Ribbon. I here take occasion to 

 thank you for t he 116 nil von sent me as 17th premium for club orders." 



J. A. W. Qoode, Emberton, Ky.: "I am well satisfied with Maule's seeds and 

 the honest and fair way in which you conduct your grand seed business."; 



If Vol' have never sown Sure-Head, I might almost say you don't know 

 what gnnd Cabbage Is. Many will laugh at this assertion, but after 13 

 years' thorough test, during which' time it has been sown by at least lOO.Oun 



t.i: - in all sections of the country, to their entire satisfaction, I 



PEEL KI I.IjV JUSTIFIED IN MAKING THIS BOLD STATE- 

 HENT. I cannot recollect during Ibis periodof ever having a serious com- 

 plaint, while the good reports, Home of I lie ill nliuont beyond belief, have 



come i" band by the thousands. If you want a Cabbage all head am) 



AMVA VSSI ltK TO II KA D,you have It without a doubt, in Maule's 

 Genuine Sure-Head. A few of the many excellent qualities p issesaed by this 

 Cabbage are the remarkable uniformity with which it always heads ; the 

 heads being unusually hard, firm, and line in texture. It has comparatively few 

 loose leave-, keep- well, is good for shipping and i- |USl the variety and quality 

 to suit all lovers of good i abbage. It was originated by crossing the Flat Dutch 



and Drum-Head by unpractical gardener of long experience, who has never found 

 any variety thai sells so readily to his trade, and justly eltilms that It Is 

 uucqualed by any Cabbage raised in Sew Jemvy for the Philadel- 

 phia market. AS PERFECTED TO-DAY, THIS CABBAGE IS 

 UNDOUBTEDLY THE BEST MARKET VARIETY. IT IS 

 AMVAVS SI RE TO HEAD, EVEN WHEN OTHERS FAIL. After 

 having gained such an enviable local reputation among experienced market- 

 gardeners, who should well know their own wants, I brought it before the 

 public, conlident it would soon become everywhere equally as popular.
