Our Frost Proof Cabbage Plants 



Will Double Your 

 Profit, Why? 



There are a number of sea islands along the Sonth Carolina sea coast 

 where the soil and climatic conditions are Just suited for growing 

 touj?h, hardy cabbage plants during the winter and early spring. The 

 seed is planted in the open field iu the months of October, November, 

 December, January and February. The plants make a slow but steady 

 growth, until at 8 to 10 weeks of aece the v are very tough and hardy, the 

 buds are purple and the outer leaves a reddish brown. When in this 

 condition they can be shipped to territory further north and planted in 

 the open ground a month to 6 weeks sooner than the home-gro\m hot 

 bed or cold frame plants could be planted. These frost proof cabbage 

 plants will stand a temperature of 8 to 10 degrees above isero without 

 injury, the land freezing, or the plants being covered with ice, sleet or 

 snow after they are planted will not injure them. 



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

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

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

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

 headed cabbage 10 days to 8 M^eeks sooner than you can mature then! 

 from hot bed and cold frame plants. You know what the diJference iji 

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

 crop from home grown plants is matured.

All Head and Always Sure to Head 



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

 at Briar Crest and Panmiire, but I still think that Siirehead 

 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 proved by the testimony of over 100,000 planters, in all 



sections of the country, representing all conditions of soil, 

 elevation, cUmate and cultural treatment. I 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. 



:\Iaule's Surehead is a late variety, with head as large as 

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

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

 well, is a splendid shipper, giving satisfaction everywhere.
