133 MAULE'S PRIZE DRUMHEAD CABBAGE 



133 Maule's 

 Prose Drumhead 



Large, Solid Heads on Short Stems 



Sureness in heading and regularity in growth 

 have placed this variety high in 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 

 handsome 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. 



Packet, 10 cents; half ounce, 40 cents; 

 ounce, 75 cents; qnarter pound, $3.35; 

 pound, $8.00, postpaid. 



Our Frost Proof Cabbage Plants 



Will Double Your 

 Profit -.Why? 



We cannot guarantee safe delivery of these plants, owing to congestion and possible delay of all transportation. 

 Our responsibility ceases on delivery to the postoffice or express company. No plants shipped C. O. D. 



; There are a number of sea islands along the South Carolina sea coast 

 /here the soil and climatic conditions are just suited and well adap- 

 3d for growing tough, hardy frost proof cabbage plants during the 

 |7inter and early spring. The seed is planted in the open field; the 

 lants make a slow but steady growth, until at 8 to 10 weeks of age they 

 re very tough and hardy, the buds are purple and the outer leaves a 

 eddish brown. When in this condition they can be shipped to tern- 

 ary further north and planted in the open ground a month to 6 weeks 

 ooner than the home-grown hot bed or cold frame plants could be 

 lanted. These plants have stood a temperature of 8 to 10 degrees above 

 ero without injury, the land freezing, or the plants being covered 

 7ith ice, sleet or snow after they are planted will not injure them. 



The top of the plant does not grow until your regular spring weather 

 pens up, but the roots grow from the time they are planted and just 

 s soon as spring weather starts, the established root growth assimi- 

 ites the fertilizer in the soil, the plants grow very fast, maturing 

 leaded cabbage 10 days to 3 weeks sooner than you can mature them 

 rom hot bed and cold frame plants. You know what the difference in 

 >rofit will be if your crop is matured and marketed before the general 

 rop from home grown plants is matured.

 ance, which will be disappointing to persons who have never used these

m Maule's 

 Prize Flat Dutch 



Well Known and Widely Grown 



This cabbage is as widely grown as any other in 

 ,he whole country. Continued care and critical 

 election have secured a perfectly true stock of 

 leed. The heads of our Pjgze Flat Dutch are 

 ?ery large, heavy, solid, fiat on top, and of a bluish 

 jreen color. Our strain is a low growing variety, 

 >vitb short stem and comparatively few outer 

 eaves. 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 

 ilways been American grown, comiDg 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. 

 Packet, 10 cents; half ounce, 40 cents; 

 ounce, 75 cents; quarter pound, $2.25; 

 pound, $8.00, postpaid.
