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 many 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 
later than its parent, and comes along in a close 
succession to the earliest cabbage crop. It is a 
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 Hastern 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. 
It is all important to get the true strain of 
seed, as there has unquestionably been much 
Spurious stock sold under the name of Charles- 
ton Wakefield, resulting in disappointment and 
loss to the grower. I have the best selected 
Strain, and can recommend it to all. 
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; 
g ounce, 25 cents; 14 pound, 75 cents; pound, $2.50. aS = =
