 EARLY SUMMER. 



MAULE'S EARLY FLAT DUTCH. 



MAULE'S EARLY FLAT DUTCH.^An old 



sort, but of unabated popularity. An excellent 

 second early cabbage, producing large, solid 

 heads of uniform shape, flattened on top as 

 3&own in the illustration, and always making a 

 handsome appearance. Fully developed heads 

 frequently measure 10 to 12 inches across and 

 weigh 12 to 15 pounds each, it also is fine 

 grained and of dainty flavor. It succeeds every- 

 where, but seems particularl.y suited to the 

 South, as it has strong heat resisting qualities. 

 Fkt.. 5 cts.; oz., 20 cts.; % lb., 6U cts.; lb., §2.00. 



EARLY SPRING. 

 This valuable cabbage matures ten days or two weeks after Early Jer- 

 sey Wakefield, with heads of uniformly round, flattened forrn, as shown in the illustration. 

 The heads are very compact and solid, and of double the weight of Early Jersey Wakefield. It 

 is one of the best of the large, early cabbages, and is exceedingly valuable for the market gar- 

 dener, as it has short outer leaves, adapting it for close planting. It may be grown at the 

 rate of 11,000 to 12,000 to the acre, and is a sure and satisfactory cropper. I ofier strictly first- 

 class Long Island grown seed. Packet, 10 cents; ounce, 25 cents; \^ pound, 60 cents; pound, $2.25. 



IMPROVED BRUNSWICK. Short Stemnied A very fine summer 



or early fall varietj'; the earliest of all the large, hard heading varieties 

 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 thicli 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.; J^ pound, tlO cts.; pound, 92.25.

EARLY SUMMER. 



CHARLESTON WAKEFIELD. 



Aia Smprovecl and Larger Form of Jersey 

 Wakefield. True Type. 



TtiS Wakefield, with Its pointed heads, held 

 ibe leading place among early cabbages for 

 several decades, out of sheer merit; and it is 

 still In favor with all market gardeners. It 

 iiaa the serious shortcomings of being small in 

 «lze and light in weight, but is so reliably early 

 and so genuinely good that nothing can wholly 

 sapersede it or drive it out of the markets. 



I'he Charleston Wakefield is an improved and 

 larger form of Early Jersey Wakefield. It re- 

 quires rather more time to reach maturity, but 

 is 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 

 inocession to the earliest cabbage crop. It is a 

 Strain which cannot be profitably overlooked by 

 fiay gardener, whether it is intended for a pri- 

 vate garden or to be sent to market. All the mar- 

 ket gardeners near the great Eastern cities plant 

 Oiiarleston Wakefield for second early cabbage, 

 and there Is no better second early sort. It has 

 fl less pointed head than its ancestor. 



Charleston Wakefield is a good keeper and 

 may be planted as a second crop, to mature in 

 %b.o autumn, if desired. It is a first rate shipper, 

 and in great favor with everybody who knows 

 It. I recommend it highly. Packet, 10 cents; 

 <>a0ce, 25 cents; i^ pound, 75 cents; pound, $2.50
