EARLIEST ETAMPES.—Earliest Etampes has 
fairly sprung into popular favor. Full ten days to two 
weeks earlier than any other variety, excepting New 
Express, it forms fine, hard and solid pointed 
heads of extra quality, much larger and finer than § 
the Early York. It has a short stem growing close to} 
the ground, and by reason of its few outer leaves, can be J 
planted much closer together than any other. Itisin 
every way one of the most desirable extra early j 
Cabbages ever introduced. Sown in March, it is | 
frequently ready for use by the first of June.

MAULE’S PRIZE WAKEFIELD.—There is no question that the Wakefield i¢ 
the best early Cabbage in America to-day, consequently it is not to be wondered atths% 
I should take particular pains in furnishing my customers with an extra choice straiz 
f of seed of this variety. I feel perfectly safe in saying that I consider I have to-day the 
§ finest and truest stock of Jersey Wakefield in America. Neither pains, trouble nor ez- 
pense have been spared in producing or selecting my seed of this variety, which 1 have 
grown forme right at the fountain head of the Wakefield Cabbage—on Long Island. The 
strain I offer is just the sort for market gardeners and all others who look for quality 
first and then cost of seed afterwards. Forms an unusually large head; almost as early 
as Earliest Etampes, while for compactness and regularity of growth it cannot be sur- 
passed. It has remarkably few outer leaves, and is always sure to mature fine, market 
able heads, fre- 
quently in 100 
days from plant- 
ing. Market or 
private garden- 
7 ers cannot make 
a mistake by 
sowing Maule’s 
strain of this 
justly celebrated, 
popular and pro- 
fitable market 
variety. PEt.,

MAULE’S WINNINGSTADT.—Is_ very early 
forming large, cone-shaped heads of excellent quality 
and is very certain to head, as it will grow a solid head } 
in seasons when other sorts fail to produce anything. 
On account of its very_hard heads, it keeps well both 
WinterandSummer. It seems to suffer less from Cab- 
bage worms than any other sort. Market gardeners T 
and others desiring a choice strain of this popu- HE COMING 
lar Cabbage ought to sow Maule’s Seeds. Packet, | CABBAGE.-—@ }

IMPROVED BRUNSWICK, '-= Short-Stemmed.—Many people 
who only grow one variety of Cabbage, prefer the Brunswick to any 
other, as it is most excellent, planted early or late. Always a reliable 
header, and with ordinary cultivation, will readily weigh 20 to 30 lbs. 
In quality it is most desirable, while there is no question it is the ear- 
liest of all the large, hard-heading Drumhead varieties of Cabbage. I 
have long taken pride in furnishing my customers with an extra strain 
of Short-Stemmed Brunswick Cabbage seed, and for this reason my 
prices are a little higher than for the ordinary strains of Brunswick 
generally offered, but the seed is well worth the difference. 
Packet, 10 cts., ounce, 25 cts.; 14 lb., 60 ets.; lb., $2.00. 
ALL HEAD EARLY: . My friend, Mr. Burpee, has this to say about All Head Early: “The 
* claims made for this distinct new Cabbage are, first, earliness. 
It is the earliest of all large Cabbages, being at least a week earlier than any of the various 
Strains of Early Summer Cabbage. Second, size. It is fully one-third larger than the 
Eariy Summer Cabbage, and therefore much more profitable to the market garden- 
er. Third,uniformity. The All Head Early is unquestionably the nearest ap- 
proach to a thoroughbred Cabbage of any variety yet introduced, both as 
regards size and uniformity of development. Selection, the means 
employed to establish this variety, has been constantly made to 
secure the largest early heads, with the fewest loose leaves. 
The deep, flat heads are remarkably solid and uniform 
in color, as wellas in shape and size. Fourth, qual- 
ity. The main feature of a good Cabbage is ten- 
derness, and in this respect it surpasses all 
others. Tenderness is the result of rapid 
growth, and as the All Head Early comes 
in quicker than any of the other flat Cab- 
bages, it is consequently more tender; 
veins and mid-ribs of leaves are also finer 
than those of any other variety. Fifth, 
adaptation. While All Head Early is all 
that can be desired for earliness, it is also 
valuable for a late or Winter Cabbage. 
Seed sown in July and set out about the = 
middle of August, will bring heads, large 
and solid, which are sure to winter well 
Sixth, yield. By reason of the compac 
habit of its growth, and absence of loose = 
leaves, fully one thousand more heads can 
beset to the acre than of most other va- 
rieties, Set plants 18 in. apart in rows, 
with 3 ft. between the rows; plants can 
be set per acre, 95 per cent. of which, in an 
ordinary season, will make good heads.
