Culture: Sow early and midseason cabbage seed indoors or under glass about 
the middle of February for earliest crop. Set plants in the garden or field when 
the soil has become warm. For medium early cabbage, seed may be started in 
a frame or open ground seedbed early in the spring and the plants set in the open 
when large enough to handle. Late cabbage seed is sown ina specially prepared 
bed in late May or early June, and the plants set out in early July, 1% ft. 
apart in rows 3 ft. apart. A packet of seed will produce about 250 plants; an 
ounce about 2,000 plants; 34 Ib. for an acre. Days to maturity are from field 
setting of plants; allow 30 days for plant production. 
111 MAULE’S FIRST EARLY 
Earliest of the large, flat heads (80 days) 
Its plant type and its attractive head type are almost ideal (see 
photograph). It is the earliest of the large, flat-head cabbages, 
and excels all other early varieties in solidness. Its excellent qual- 
ity and tenderness have made it a great favorite. The heads are 
5M to 6 in. deep, 8 to 9 in. across, and weigh 5 to 7 Ibs. This éx- 
clusive Maule variety competes with Copenhagen Market and 
Jersey Wakefield because so many people prefer a solid, flat/head 
to the round or pointed shapes. 
Pkt. 10¢; 14 oz. 25¢; oz. 45¢; V4, Ib. $1.50. 
127 Glory of Enkhuizen 
Round solid heads of superior quality (82 days) 
A splendid, medium-early cabbage with large, solid, round heads 
8 to 9 in. across, weighing 5 to 7 lbs. each, and often more. The 
leaves are finely ribbed, exceedingly tender, and remarkably well 
flavored. Good for making sauerkraut, or boiling, and delicious 
when prepared as slaw.’ Pkt. 10¢; 12 oz. 25¢; oz. 40¢; 14 Ib. $1.35. 
118 Charleston Wakefield 
Larger than Prize Jersey Wakefield 
(72 days) 
Charleston Wakefield produces 
broad, heart-shaped heads, 8 in. high 
and 7 in. broad at the base, weighing 
about 4 Ibs. each. It comes along 
in close succession to the earliest 
cabbages, being one of the first mid- 
season varieties ready for cutting. 
The heads are larger and not so 
pointed as Prize Jersey Wakefield, 
and mature about -7 days later. A 
sure cropper and a heavy yielder. 
This variety is one of the best for 
overwintering in the South. Small 
plants go on to make an exception- 
ally early spring/crop, less inclined 
to bolt to seed than other varieties. 
Pkt. 10¢; 14 oz. 20¢; oz. 30¢; 1% Ib. 95¢.

Maule’s First Early 
























141 Drumhead Savoy 
Crumpled leaf cabbage (90 days) 

Of a milder, more pleasing flavor 
than the regular cabbages. There 
is a certain delicacy about this 
variety that appeals greatly to 
people who dislike either the strong 
flavor or odor of other kinds. The 
heads are large, heavy, compact, 
round, and somewhat flattened; 
leaves are attractively wrinkled 
and crumpled, even into the center 
of the head. It isa splendid winter 
keeper. The Drumhead is the best 
of the savoy cabbages, and our 
strain is carefully selected for uni- 
formity and mildness of flavor. 
Pkt. 10¢; 120z. 20¢; 0z.35¢; 14 1b. $1.25. 
134 Maule’s Prize Flat Dutch 
Heads large, round, flattened, and very firm (100 days) 
An old reliable variety. Heads are very large, heavy, solid, flat on 
the top but deep. Leaves are a bright bluish green. Our strain is 
low growing, with a short stem and few outer leaves, allowing 
close planting. Heads become firm and solid while still rather 
small so that you can start to use them in late summer and con- 
tinue to cut until late fall. Grown principally in the northern 
states, where it is used as a main late crop. Heads attain 10 to 12 
Ibs. in weight. One of the best winter keepers. 
Pkt. 10¢; 4 oz. 20¢; oz. 35¢; 14 Ib. $1.25. 
131 Maule’s Genuine Surehead 
Widely adapted; large, heavy, thoroughly reliable (90 days) - 
One of Maule’s very first introductions, in 1877, this remarkable 
cabbage was a strong factor in establishing Maule’s seeds as lead- 
ers in the industry. For 36 successive years a full catalog page 
was devoted to Surehead. The increased popularity of small 
headed strains has caused fewer acres to be planted to this variety, 
but anyone wishing a large, hard, somewhat flattened, 10 lb. head 
should grow Maule’s Surehead. This variety is absolutely reliable, 
a perfect winter keeper, and still the unchallenged favorite of 
thousands of gardeners, _— Pkt. 10¢; 1% oz. 25¢; oz. 40¢; 14 Ib. $1.35.
