MAULE'S EARLIEST EXPRESS CABBAGE. 



Maule's 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, 

 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 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 oftered, excepting Maule's 

 First Early, which matures about the same time. 

 Packet, 10 cents; ounce, US cents; ^4 pound, 79 cents; pound, $Si.90.

MAULE'S EARLY FLAT DUTCH CABBAGE. 



Maule's Early Flat Dutch 



An excellent second early cabbage, producing large, solid heads of 

 uniform shape, flattened on top as shown in the illustration. 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 everywhere, but seems particularly suited to the South, as 

 it has strong heat resisting qualities. 

 Packet, 10 cts.; ounce, 35 cts.; \4 pound, 75 cts.; pound, $3.50. 



114 



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, of extra quality. It has a short stem, and grows close 

 to the ground, and by reasou 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 

 under glass in March and set out in time to produce marketable heads of cabbage by the 

 first of June. Packet, 10 cents; ounce, 35 cents; J^ pound, 75 cents; pound, $3.90. 



115 Maule's 

 Winningstadt 



This is another old and famous 

 type of early cabbage, but as in the 

 case of Wakefield the main diffl- 

 cult.v is to get a strain of seed rep- 

 resenting the highest grade of excel- 

 lence. Such a strain will be found- 

 in Maules 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; \4 pound, 75 cents; pound, $3.50.

All Head Early 



CHARLESTON WAKEFIELD CABBAGE. 



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 a very desirable sort In every garden. It is the earliest of large cabbages, being at least a 

 \^eek in advance of any of the large flat headed strains now being oflTered. All Head Early in size 

 of heads is one-third larger than Early Summer 

 or Early Flat Dutch. The deep, flat heads are 

 lemarkably uniform in shape, size and color. 

 Good quality and tenderness are marked fea- 

 tuies. The compact habit of growth of All Head 

 Eaily cabbage renders close planting feasible.

i« Charleston Wakefield 



The Charleston Wakefield is an improved and 

 laiger form of Maule's Prize Jersey Wakefield. 

 It lequires 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 

 stiain which cannot be profitably overlooked by 

 anv gardener, whether it is intended for a pri- 

 vate garden or to be sent to market.
