: IMPROVED BRUNSWICK. Short Stemmed.—aA very fine summer

of Drumhead cabbage. It is of dwarf, compact growth, the flat head 
resting almost directly on the soil. The outer leaves grow closely about 
the head. The foliage is light bluish green in color. The heads although 
flat are quite thick and uniformly solid. It is a very reliable header, and 
under good cultivation will attain a weight of 15 pounds. I take great 
pride in my strain of Short Stemmed Brunswick cabbage. Packet, 10 cts.; 
ounce, 25 cts.; 14 pound, 75 cts.; pound, $2.50. 5

CHARLESTON WAKEFIELD, : A Hii ae 
An Improved and Larger Form of Jersey i \\ Y/ i) —— WY 
Wakefield. True Type. i 
The Wakefield, with its pointed heads, held 
the leading place among early cabbages for 
several decades, out of sheer merit; and it is 
still in favor with all market gardeners. It 
has the serjous shortcomings of being small in 
size and light in weight, but is so reliably early 
and so genuinely good that nothing can wholly 
supersede it or drive it out of the markets. 
The Charleston Wakefield is an improved and 
larger form of Early Jersey Wakefield. It re- 
quires rather more time to reach maturity, but 
it yields fully twice the crop of the original 
Wakefield cabbage. It is about a week or 10 days 
later than its parent, and comes along in a close 
suecession to the earliest cabbage crop. It is a 
strain which cannot be profitably overlooked by 
any gardener, whether it is intended for a pri- 
vate garden or to besent to market. All the mar- 
ket gardeners near the great Eastern cities plant 
Charieston Wakefield for second early cabbage, 
and there is no better second.early sort. It has 
a less pointed head than its ancestor. 
Charleston Wakefield is a good keeper and 
may be planted as a second crop, to mature in 
the autumn, if desired. It is a first rate shipper, 
and in great favor with everybody who knows 
it. I recommend it highly. Packet, 10 cts.; © fl
