18—Vegetable Seeds ; THE MAULE SEED BOOK FOR 1915 
Early Cabbages 
iz Earliest Express 
We first introduced this cabbage in 1887. With First Early it holds the place 
as the earliest cabbage in cultivation, as it has produced fair sized, market- 
able heads in 80 days from the sowing of the seed. It is a few days 
earlier than Etampes. There are few loose Jeaves, and almost every 
plant forms a head. It can be planted close, and yields a large crop. 
This is the earliest of the many early cabbages being offered, except- 
7 ing Maule’s First Early, which matures about the same time.

EARLIEST EXPRESS CABBAGE. 
ua Maule’s Prize Jersey Wakefield 
This cabbage has been for many years the leading early cabbage 
in America. The main difficulty has been to get a perfectly satis- 
factory and reliable strain of seed. Buyers will find in Maule’s Prize 
Jersey Wakefield the genuine article. Our seed is grown on Long 
SA island, in soiland climate perfectly suited to the purity and vigor 
of choice Wakefield stock. It has few outer leaves, and in compact- 
ness and regularity our strain cannot be surpassed. The thick stout 
leaves and compact habit make it the best sort for very early set- 
ting. It frequently matures within 100 days from sowing. 
Packet, 10 cts.; ovumce, 30 ets.; '4 pound, 85 cts.; pound, $3.00. 
n Earliest Etampes 
It is ten days to two weeks earlier than any other excepting Express and First Early. 
It forms a fine, hard, pointed head, ofextra quality. It has a short stem, and grows close 
to the ground, and by reason of having so few outer or loose leaves the plants may be 
set 144 feet apart, in rows 2% feet apart; sometimes even closer. The seed may be sown 
under glass in March and set out in time to produce marketable heads of cabbage by the 
firstof June. Packet, 10 cents; ounce, 25 cents; 14 pound, 75 cents; pound, $2.50. 
us Maule’s 
Winningstadt 
This is another old and famous 
type of early cabbage, but as in the 
ease of Wakefield the main diffi- 
culty is to get a strain of seed rep- 
4 resenting the highest grade of excele 
4A ience. Such a strain will be found- 
/ in Maule’s Winningstadt. It is al- 
most as early as Wakefield. The heads are slightly larger, of the_proper cone-shaped form, 
and of best quality. It is a sure header, even where other sorts may fail, and seems to be 
less liable to the attack of the cabbage worm than many other varieties. 
Packet, 5 cents; ounce, 25 cents; 14 pound, 75 cents; pound, $2.50. 
CORTE 116 All Head Early 
NNEMISNEES = — = = It has proven itself to be adaptable to a wide range of both soil and climate, and is well 
worthy of recognition as a standard American sort. It is a money maker for gardeners, 
and avery desirable sort in every garden. It is the earliest of large cabbages, being at least a 
week in advance of any of the large flat headed strains now being offered. All Head Karly in size 
of heads is one-third larger than Early Summer 
or Early Flat Dutch. The deep, fiat heads are 
remarkably uniform in shape, size and color. 
Good quality and tenderness are marked fea- 
tures. The compact habit of growth of All Head 
Early cabbage renders close planting feasible. 
A good early spring, Summer or winter sort

us Charleston Wakefield 
The Charleston Wakefield is an improved and 
larger form of Maule’s Prize Jersey Wakefield. 
It requires 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 
succession to the earliest cabbage crop. It is a 
strain which cannot be profitably overlooked by 
any gardener, whether it is intended for a pri- 
SS a Sas vate garden or to besent to market.
