^ m Maule's Extremely Early Baby Ballhead Cabbage 



68 days. An Excellent Early, Round, Solid Head Sort for the Home Garden 

 The Best Early Basket Cabbage for the Market Gardener or for Forcing 



This extremely early cabbage, on account of its short stem 

 and few outer leaves, can be grown closer together than any 

 other sort; in fact, it can be grown as close as eight or nine 

 inches apart in the row. Just what is wanted for the home 

 garden where space is limited. 



Its extreme earliness makes it a desirable sort for forcing 

 — producing firm, well-shaped, round heads in about 68 days 

 from time of sowing the seed. Maule's Extremely Early 

 Baby Ballhead Cabbage produces small, unusually solid 

 white heads which are crisp and of delicious quality in 

 about six weeks after setting out the plants. The peculiar 

 advantage of this extremely early cabbage is that it requires 

 very little space to grow, in comparison to other early 

 varieties of cabbage; also its remarkable firmness and 

 delicious taste. Originator's stock, grown in Denmark.

120 MAULE'S EXTREMELY EARLY BABY BALLHEAD CABBAGE. 



m Charleston Wakefield 



90 days. An Improved and Larger Form of 

 Jersey Wakefield True Type 



The Wakefield, with its pointed heads, held 

 the leading place among early cabbages for 

 several decades. It is so reliably early and so 

 genuinely good that nothing can wholly super- 

 sede it or drive it out of the markets. 



The Charleston Wakefield is an improved and 

 larger form of Maule's Prize Wakefield. It re- 

 quires rather more time to reach maturity, but 

 It yields fully twice the crop of the original 

 Wakefield cabbage. It comes along In a close 

 succession to the earliest cabbage crop producing 

 Its heads in about 90 days. It is a strain which 

 cannot be profitably overlooked by an j' gardener, 

 whetlier it is intended for a private garden or to 

 be sent to marliet. 



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.
