m Maule's First 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 market 70 to 80 days from sowing the seed. 



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 bead; in fact, the head is as hard 

 as a stone. It is a choice market sort on account of both 

 shape and quality. It is a beautiful cabbage in appearance, 

 being handsome in color and general uniformity. No wonder 



the buyers of early cabbages select these attractive he: 

 when displayed on the market stalls. Almost any be 

 would pick out one of these solid flat heads in preference t 

 round or pointed headed variety. 



Many of our customers have cleaned off their entire croj 

 Maule's First Early before they have started to cut Ea 

 Wakefield, or Early Flat Dutch. Seed crop very near a to 

 failure, can offer in packets only. 



Prices for 1922 — Packet, 40 cents; 2 packets, 75 cents, postpaid. 



m Charleston Wakefield 



All Improved and Larger Form of Jersey 

 Wakefield True Type. 



The Wakefield, wiLh 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 geniiioely 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 86 days. It is a strain which 

 cannotbe 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, 



and In great favor with everybody who knows it. 



Packet, 10 cents; half ounce, 30 cents; 



ounce, 35 cents; quarter pound, 90 cents; 



pound. $3.!i5; 5 pounds, S13.75, postpaid.
