A Great Money Maker and a Trade Holder for the Market Gardener 
This splendid and profitable extra early flat-headed cabbage is the rival of the famous Wakefield.

Maule’s First Early is what is wanted for home or market. 
\:s shape, habit of growth and general aspect are well shown 
the illustration. It can safely be planted as close as Wake- 
2ld and is a sure header. It excels Wakefield and all other 
| tly cabbages in solidity of head; in fact, the head is as hard 
|i a stone. It is a choice market sort on account of both 
jiape and quality. Itisa beautiful cabbage in appearance, 
| ing handsome in color and general uniformity. No wonder 


acket, 15 cents; half ounce, 40 cents; ounce, 75 cents; quarter pound, $2.25; pound, $8.00, postpaid. 
the buyers of early cabbages select these attractive heads 
when displayed on the market stalls. Almost anybody 
would pick out one of these solid flat heads in preference to a 
round or pointed headed variety. 
Many of our customers have cleaned off their entire crop of 
Maule’s First Early before they have started to cut Karly 
Wakefield, or Ali Head Karly. It certainly deserves the place 
of honor at the head of our list of eabbages.
