Early Cabbage 
This splendid and profitable extra early flat-headed cabbage is the rival of the famous Wakefield. 
Produces fine, solid, good sized heads, fit for 
Maule’s First Early is what is wanted for home or market. 
Its shape, habit of growth and general aspect are well shown 
in the illustration. It can safely be planted as close as Wake- 
field and is a sure header. It excels Wakefield and all other 
early cabbages in solidity of head; in fact, the head is as hard 
as a stone. It is a choice market sort on account of both 
shape and quality.’ Itis a beautiful cabbage in appearance, 
being handsome in color and general uniformity. No wonder

118 Charleston Wakefield 
An Improved and Larger Form of Jersey 
Wakefield True Type. 
The Wakefield, with its pointed heads, held 
the leading place among early cabbages for 
several decades, out of sheer merit; and it is 
still in favor with all market gardeners. It is 
so reliably early and so genuinely good that 
nothing can wholly supersede it or drive it out 
of the markets. 
The Charleston Wakefield is an improved and 
larger form of Maule’s Prize Wakefield. It re- 
quires rather more time to reach maturity, but 
it yields fully twice the crop of the original 
Wakefield cabbage. It comes along in a close 
succession to the earliest cabbage crop producing 
*its heads in about 85 days. It is astrain which 
cannot be profitably overlooked by any gardener, 
whether it is intended for a private garden or to 
be sent to market. All the Market gardeners 
near the great Eastern cities plant Charleston 
Wakefield for early cabbage, and there is no 
better early sort. It has a less pointed head 
than its ancestor. 
Charleston Wakefield is good keeper and may 
be planted as a second crop to mature in the 
autumn, if desired. It is a first rate shipper, 
andin great favor with everybody who knows it.

limited amount of this seed, so advise ordering early.
