3 EARLIEST ETAMPES — Earliest Etampes has 

 *• falrlv sprung into popular favor. Full ten days to two 

 '* weeks earlier than any other variety, exoepting >.ew 



Express, it forms fine, hard and solid polluted 

 2 heads of extra quality, much larger and finer than 



r the Early York. It has a short stem growing close to 

 H the ground, and bv reason of its few outer leaves, can be 

 j5 planted much closer together than any other. It Is In 

 P every way one of the most desirable extra early 

 2 Cabbages ever iutrodnced. Sown In March, It Is 

 » frenuently ready for use by the first of June

" MAULE'S «I-\XINGSTADT — Is very early 

 3 forming large, coue-shaped heads of excellent quality 

 g and is very certain to head, as it will grow a solid head 



* in seasons when other sorts fall to produce anything. 



* On account of its very hard heads, it keeps well both 

 Winter and .Summer. It seems to suffer less from tab- 

 W bage worms than any other sort. Market gardeners 

 H and others desiring a choice strain of this popu- 

 H lar Cabbage ought to sow Maule's Seeds. Packet,

IMPROVED BRUNSWICK, Short-Stemmed 



MAULE'S PRIZE WAKEFIELU — There is no question that the Wakefield 18 

 the best early Cabbage in America to-day, consequently it is not to be wondered at that 

 I should take particular pains in furnishing my customers with an e.xtra choice strain 

 of seed of this variety. 1 feel perfectly safe in saying that I consider 1 have to-day the 

 finest and truest stock of Jersey Wakefield in America. Neither pains, trouble nor ex- 

 pense have been spared in producing or selecting my seed of this variety, which 1 nave 

 grown for me right at the fountain head of the Wakefield Cabbage-on Long Island. I he 

 Itrain I offer is just the sort for market gardeners and all others who look for qualitj 

 first and then cost of seed afterwards. Forms an unusually large head; almost as early 

 as ?:arliest Etampes, while for compactne.ss and regularity of growth it cannot be sur- 

 passed. It has remarkably few outer leave.s, and is always sure to mature fine, market- 

 able heads, fre- 

 quently in 100 

 days from plant- 

 ing. Market or 

 private garden- 

 ers cannot make 

 a mistake by 

 sowing Maule's 

 strain of this 

 justly celebrated, 

 popular and pro- 

 fitable market 

 variety. Pkt.,

THE COniNQ 

 CABBAGE.-* 



^^ _ _ Many people 



who'only^g'row one'variety of Cabbage, prefer the Brunswick to any 

 other, as it Is most excellent, planted early or late. Always a reliable 

 header, and with ordinarv cultivation, will readily weigh 20 to 30 lbs. 

 In quality it Is most desirable, while there is no question It is the ear- 

 liest of all the large, hard-heading Drumhead varieties of Cabbage. I 

 have long taken pride in furnishing my customers with an extra strain 

 of Short-Stemmed Brunswick Cabbage seed, and for this reason my 

 prices are a little higher than for the ordinary strains of Brunswick 

 generally offered, but the seed Is well worth the difference. 



* Packet, 5 cts., ounce, 15 cts.; !4 lb., 50 cts.; lb., 81.50. 



All u C A rv C A r>I XT My friend, Mr. Burpee, has this to say about All Head Early : ' 

 ALL riLALI .LAKLl. claims made for this distinct new cabbage are, first, earlmess. 



The 



iardeii 



middle of August, will bring heads, large 

 2 and solid, which are sure to winter well. 

 5 .Sixth, yield. By reason of the compact 

 5 habit of its growth, and absence of loose 

 I leaves, fully one thousand more heads can 

 • be set to the acre than of most other va- 

 S rleties. Set plants 18 in. apart in rows, 

 „ with 3 ft. between the rows; SHiSO plants can 

 Ui be set per acre, 95 per cent, of which, in an 

 « ordinary season, will make good heads. 

 * Pkt., 5c.; oz., loc; % lb., 50c.; 1 lb., S1..50. 



It is the earliest of all large Cabbages, being at least a week earlier than any of the various 

 b strains of Early Summer Cabbage. Second, size. It Is fulU oiie-third larger than the 

 ■ Early Summer Cabbage, and therefore much more profitable to the m irketiiai 



* er. Third, uniformitv. The .\11 Head Early is unquestionabU the neire>t ap- 

 •: proach to a thoroughbred Cabbage of any variety yet introdiKcd, both as 

 ; regards size and uniformity of development. Selection, the means 

 g employed to establish this variety, has been constant \ made to 

 V secure'the largest early heads, with the fewest loose leaves 

 e The deep, flat heads are remarkably solid and uniform 

 a in color, as well as in shape and size. Fourth, qual- 



* Itv. The main feature of a good Cabbage is ten- 

 2 derness, and In this respect it surpasses all 

 i, others. Tenderness Is the result of rapid 

 fi growth, and as the W\ Head Early comes 

 ^ in quicker than any of the other flat Cab- 

 S bages, it is consequently more tender; 

 U veins and mid-ribs of leaves are also finer 

 S than those of any other variety. Fifth. 

 « adaptation. While All Head Early is all 

 ■5 that can be desired for earliness. It is also 

 5 valuable for a late or Winter Cabbage.
