MAULE’S EARLY FLAT DUTCH CABBAGE. 
uz Maule’s Early Fiat Dutch 
An excellent second early cabbage, producing 
large, solid heads of uniform shape, flattened 
on top as shown in the illustration. Fully de- 
veloped heads frequently measure 10 to 12 
inches across and weigh 12 to 15 pounds each. 
It also is fine grained and of dainty flavor. It 
succeeds everywhere, but seems particularly 
suited to the South, as it has strong heat re- 
sisting qualities. Packet, 5 cemts; ounce, 
30 cents; 4 Ib., 85 cents lb., $3.00.

Uh 
us Charleston Wakefield 
An Improved and Larger Form of Jersey 
Wakefield. True Type. 
The Wakefield, with its pointed head, 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 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 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- 
yate 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. 
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 cts.; 
ounce, 35c.; 14 pound, $1.00; pound, $3.50.

EARLY SPRING CABBAGE.

heads of uniformly round, flattened form, as shown in the illustration. The heads are very 
compact and solid, and of double the weight of Maule’s Prize Wakefield. It is one of the best of 
the large, early cabbages, and is exceedingly valuable for the market gardener. as it has 
Short outer leaves, adapting it for close planting. I offer strictly first- 
class Long Island grown seed. Pkt.,10c.; oz., 30c.5; 14 Ib., 85c.5; 1b., $3.00.

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 heads are quite thick 
<> and uniformly solid. It is a very reliable header, and under good cultiva- 
¥ tion will attain a weight of 
15 pounds. Packet, 5 cts.;
