EARLIEST "ET AMPES. -Although a comparatively 

 new Cabbage, Earliest Etampes has fairly sprung into public 

 favor, and is unanimously endorsed as the earliest of all, by 

 every one who has tried it. Full ten days to two weeks 

 earlier than any other variety, excepting "New Express, it 

 forms fine, hard and solid pointed heads of extra 

 quality, much larger and finer than the Early York. It has 

 a short stem growing close to the ground, and by reason of 

 its few outer leaves can be planted much closer together than 

 any other. It is in every way one of the most de- 

 sirable extra early Cabbages ever introduced. 

 Sown in March it is frequently ready for use by 

 1st of June. Pkt, 10 cts ; oz., 25 cts ; % lb., 75 cts.; lb. $2.25. 



Samuel Dellinger, Blue Mound, Kan.: "I am well pleased 

 with your seeds. The Early Etampes is the best I ever raised." 



Annie M. Bushey, Menallen, Pa.: " I was very much pleased 

 with your seeds, especially the Market-Garden Peas, I think they 

 are grand. We planted Etampes and had Cabbage earlier than 

 any of our neighbors. I think every seed came up, and some- 

 times I think two plants rninr from one seed." 



EARLY T OURA VIIiliE.— 



Coming in early remains a long time 

 without bursting. Produces solid, 

 conical heads, yellow tinge within. 

 Fine flavor ; handsome appearance. 

 Pkt. 10c: oz. 25c: U lb. 60c; lb. $1.80. 



MAULE'S WI5IISISGSTADT.- Is very early, 

 forming large cone-shaped heads of excellent quality, and is 

 very certain to head, as it will grow a solid head in seasons 

 when other sorts fail to produce anything. On account ot 

 its very hard heads it keeps well both Winter and Summer. 

 It seems to suffer less from Cabbage worms than any other 

 sort. Marfcet-gardeners and others desiring a 

 choice strain of this popular Cabbage ought to sow 

 Maule's Seeds. Pkt., 10c; oz., 25c; % lb., 60c; lb., $1.80. 



NEW EXPRESS — See Specialties. Packet, 15 cents. 



S. J. Murdock, Westminster, Cal.: "The seeds purchased ot 

 you did well considering the chance they had. I sent to Ohio 

 for exhibit at the G. A. R. Reunion, four heads of Surehead Cab- 

 bage, they weighed 116 lbs. I have now on exhibition at the 

 Los Angeles Pomological Show, six heads of Surehead, headed 

 by a 32 lb. head. There is nothing on the table to compare with 

 Ruby King Peppers. I have a Potiron Pumpkin weighing 201 lbs. 



Mrs. S. D. Belcher, Marengo, Mich.: "Notwithstanding we 

 have had a long drouth, only one rain in three months, 1 have 

 a splendid garden. My neighbors plant seeds they can buy 

 cheaper and their gardens are cheaper. Your seeds are all you

MAULE'S PRIZE WAKEFIELD There is no question that the 



Wakefield is 1 lie best early Cabbage in America to-day, consequently it is not to 

 be wondered at that I should take particular pains iii furnishing my customers 

 with an extra choice strain of seed of this variety. I feel perfectly safe in saving 

 that I consider I have to-day the finest and truest stock of Jersey Wakefield in 

 America. Neither pains, trouble nor expense have been spared in producing or 

 selecting my seed of this variety, which I have grown for me right at the fount- 

 ain-head of the Wakefield Cabbage— on Long Island. The strain I offer is just 

 the sort for market-gardeners and all others who look for quality first and then 

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

 Earliest Etampes, while for compactness and regularity of growth it cannot be 

 surpassed. It has remarkably few outer leaves and is always sure to mature fine 

 marketable heads, frequently in 100 days from planting. Market or private gar- 

 deners cannot make a mistake by sowing Maule's strain of this justly celebrated, 

 popular and profitable market variety. Pkt, 10 cts. ; oz., 35 cts.; % lb., SI ; lb., 83.15. 



IMPROVED BRUNSWICK, Short-Stemmed — Many people who 

 onlv grow one variety of Cabbage prefer the Brunswick to any other, as it is most 

 excellent planted earlv or late. It is always a reliable header and with ordinary 

 cultivation will readilv weigh 20 to 30 pounds. In quality it is most desirable, 

 while there is no question it is the earliest of all the large hard-heading Dram- 

 head 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, 

 10 cents ; ounce, 30 cents ; % pound. 90 cents*; pound, $2.70. 



i$50 



24 



Some years ago I offered a premium on Brunswick Cabbage 

 which occasioned considerable competition among my cus- 

 tomers. This vear I will pay $50 for the finest and best head 

 weighing not over 30 or under 20 lb., raised in '89 from Maule s 

 Seeds. All heads to be sent me charges paid before Oct. 1, 1889.
