IMPROVED BRUNSWICK. Short Stemmed.—Also sold under the name of Fottler’s 
Early Drumhead. A very fine summer or early fall variety; the earliest of 
all the large, hard heading varieties of Drumhead cabbage. It is of dwarf, 
compact growth, the flat head resting almost directly on the soil. The 
outer leaves grow closely about the head. The foliage is light bluish green 
in color. The heads although flat are quite thick and uniformly solid. It 
is a very reliable header, and under good cultivation will attain a weight 
of 15 to 20 pounds. I take great pride in my strain of Short Stemmed Bruns- 
wick cabbage. Packet, 5 cts.; ounce, 20 cts.; 144 pound, 60 cts.; pound, $2.00. —

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 
has the serious shortcomings of being small in 
size and light in weight, but 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 Early Jersey Wakefield. It re- 
quires 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 
iater than its parent, and comes along in a close 
succession to the earliest cabbage crop. It isa 
strain which cannot be profitably overlooked by 
any gardener, whether it is intended for a pri- 
vate garden or to besent to market. All the mar- 
ket gardeners near the great Eastern cities plant 
Charleston Wakefield for second early cabbage, 
and there is no better second early sort. It has 
a less pointed head than its ancestor. 
Charleston Wakefield is a 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. I recommend it highly. Packet, 10 cents; 
| ounce, 2) cents; 4 pound, 75 cents; pound, $2.50.
