Maule's Early Cabbages 



112 



MAULE'S EARLIEST EXPRESS CABBAGE. 



Maule's Earliest Express 



We first introduced this cabbage in 1887. With First Early it holds 

 \ -he place as the earliest cabbage in cultivation, as it has produced 

 I air sized, marketable heads in 80 days from'the sowing of the seed, 

 it is a few days earlier than Etampes. There are few loose leaves, and 

 I ilmost every plant forms a head. It can be planted close and yields 

 ' I large crop. It is the earliest of the pointed head sorts. 

 ■ Packet, 10 cts.; ounce, 30 cts.; 14 poand, 85 cts.; poniid, $3.00.

Maule's Prize Jersey Wakefield 



Our seed of Prize Jersey Wakefield is grown on Long Island, in soil and 

 climate perfectly suited to the purity and vigor of choice Wakefield stock. 

 It has few outer leaves, and in compactness and regularity our strain can- 

 not be surpassed. The thick stout leaves and compact habit make it the 

 best sort for very early setting. It frequently matures within 100 days. 

 Packet, 10 cents; ounce, 35 cents; quarter pound, $1.00. 

 pound, $3.50, postpaid.

Earliest Etampes 



It Is ten days to two weeks earlier than any other excepting Express and First Early, 

 [t forms a fine, hard, pointed head, of extra quality. It has a short stem, and grows close 

 ;o the ground, and by reason of having so few outer or loose leaves the plants may be 

 set 1}^ feet apart, in rows 2% feet apart, sometimes even closer. The seed maybe sown 

 ander glass in March andset outin timeto produce marketable heads of cabbage bv the 

 Irst of June. Packet, 10 cents; ounce, 30 cents; i^ pound, 85 cents; pound, $3.00.

Winningstadt 



This is another old and famous 

 type of early cabbage, but as in the 

 case of Wakefield the main diffi- 

 culty is to get a strain of seed rep- 

 resenting the highest grade of excel- 

 lence. (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, 30 cents; M pound, 85 cents; pound, $8.00.

Early Summer 



CHARLESTON WAKEFIELD CABBAGE. 



This valuable cabbage matures ten days or 

 two weeks after Maule's Prize Jersey Wakefield, 

 with heads of round, flattened form, as shown in 

 the illustration. The heads are vei'y compact 

 and solid, and double the weight of Maule's 

 Prize Jersey Wakefield. It is one of the best of 

 the large, early cabbages, and is exceedingly 

 valuable for the home or market gardener. 

 Our seed is Long Island grown. 



Packet, 10 cents; ounce, 25 cents; 

 ^ pound, 75 cents; pound, $3.50. 



J IS 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, 

 hilt it yields fully twice the crop of the original 

 Wakefield cabbage. It is about a week or 10 days 

 later than its parent, and ccmes 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- 

 vate garden or to be sent to market. 



Pkt., 5c.; ox.. 30c.; ]4 lb., 85c.; lb., $3.00. 



I had been using Maule's seeds for a long time 

 until last year so I decided to buy my seed from a 

 local seed store that had started business here, but 

 no more seed grown by (no telling names) for me. 

 Give me seed grown by a reliable seed house (Wm. 

 Henry Maule, Inc., for instance ) and I will guaran- 

 tee you a good garden. A. Earle Lervis,
