JSteuu Early Express 



Tlie earliest of all. First introduced in my 1887 Catalogue 

 and pronounced by one and all the greatest addition in years to the 

 Cabbage family. Produces fair-sized, marketable heads 70 DAYS 

 FROM SOWING OF THE SEED, I did not think I would be 

 able to offer an earlier cabbage than Etampes, but EXPRESS IS 

 A FEW DAYS EARLIER THAN EVEN THIS NOW FAMOUS 

 EXTRA EARLY. It does not form quite so large a head as the 

 Etampes, but when it is considered that the Express forms a 

 head tit for use in 70 to 80 days from the sowing of the seed, I 

 think I have the pleasure of recommending to my customers the 

 MOST IMPORTANT ADDITION MADE IN YEARS TO THE 

 CABBAGE FAMILY. In quality it is A No. 1 ; has comparatively 

 few loose leaves, and almost every plant forms a fine head every 

 time. Like the Etampes, it holds its head admirably, and as it 

 can be planted so close together, yields a very large crop. There 

 are many cabbages called " earliest " listed by other seedsmen, but 

 I venture to say that EXPRESS WILL DISCOUNT THEM ALL. 

 Packet, 10 cents; ounce, 30 cents; % pound, $1.00 ; pound, S3. 00. 



JVIaule's ]Widsummer 



This variety is nearly as early as Early Summer, and at same 

 time produces MUCH LARGER HEADS, which for 

 solidity and compactness are unsurpassed. Its short, 

 compact growth permits its being planted close 

 in rows, so, although the heads are much 

 larger than Early Summer, as many plants 

 can be set to the acre. It is a remarkably 

 sure header, and for a market crop is 

 one of the most profitable varieties In 

 existence. Maule's Midsummer is 

 very similar, in many respects, to 

 the All Seasons lately introduced 

 by Mr. Gregory, and comes from 

 very near the same source on 

 Long Island. Plant Express fox 

 early, Midsummer for Summer, 

 and Surehead or Prize Drum- 

 head for winter, and you will 

 have a succession of fine Cabbage 

 all the year round, and the finest 

 heads, both as to solidity and 

 quality, that it has ever been 

 your fortune to raise. Packet, 

 10 cents ; ounce, -10 cents ; 

 pound, SI. '4r. 5 pound, $4.00.

IVIammoth tyed tyoek 



This is the largest and hardiest 

 heading red cabbage in cultivation. 

 Successful Long Island market gar- 

 deners will raise no other kind of red 

 cabbage, for they consider this the 

 best of all. The heads frequently 

 average 13 pounds each, and is a very 

 sure cropper. If you want as fine red 

 cabbage as you ever saw, you must 

 sow Red Rock, for it absolutely leads 

 every other red sort, and I know you 

 will be pleased with it. True seed 

 scarce, consequently Red Rock is still 

 very high in price. Pkt. lOc; ox. 40c. 

 '- 4 pound, $1.35 ; pound, $4.00.
