24—Vegetable Seeds THE MAULE SEED BOOK FOR 1915 Our Frost Proof Cabbage Plants Will Double Your Profit, Why? There are a number of sea islands along the South Carolina sea coast where the soil and climatic conditions are just suited for growing tough, hardy cabbage plants during the -winter and early spring. The seed is planted in the open field in the months of October, November, December, January and February. The plants make a slow but steady growth, until at 8 to 10 weeks of age they are very tough and hardy, the buds are purple and the outer leaves a reddish brown. When in this condition the.v can be shipped to territory further north and planted in the open ground a month to 6 weeks sooner than the home-grown hot bed or cold frame plants could be planted. These frost proof cabbage plants will stand a temperature of 8 to 10 degrees above zero 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 regular 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-3 weeks sooner than you can mature them from hot bed and cold frame plants. You know what the difference in profit will be if your crop is matured and marketed before the general crop from home" 'j^rown plants is rn;ifnrpri To GET THE ADVANTAGE OF THESE FROST PROOF CABBAGE PLAUT.S THEY IIIIST BE PL.A.IfTEI> A 3IONTH OR SIX WEEKS EARLIER THAN YOU WOULD PLANT HOME GROWN PLANTS.

131 Maule's Genuine Surehead Cabbage All Head and Always Sure to Head We watch with great care all the new cabbages, and test them at our Panmuie trial grounds, but we still think that Sure- head 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 proven by the testimony of over 100,000 planters, in all Packet, 10 cents; ounce, 30 cents; quarter pound, 85 cents; pound, $3.00, postpaid sections of the country, representing all conditions of soil, elevation, climate and cultural treatment. We 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 in growth. The heads are firm and hard, elegant for kraut; the cabbage keeps well, is a splendid shipper, giving satisfaction everywhere.
