aide's First Early Cabbage. 



A flat headed rival of the famous Wakefield. 

 Produces fine, solid, good sized heads, fit for 

 market 70 to 90 days from sowing the seed. 



This splendid and profitable extra early fiat-head cabbage 

 was first introduced in 1901. During the last eight years it 

 has fully sustained its reputation for commercial value, as 

 well as for extreme earliness ; the only variation in the 

 reports received concerning First Early is that it is earlier 

 than anticipated. 



Its shape, habit of growth and general aspect are well 

 shown in the illustration. It can safely be planted as close 

 as Wakefield and is a sure header. It excels Wakefield 

 and all other early cabbages in solidity of head ; in fact, the 



Packet, 15 cents; 2 packets, 25 cents 



head is as hard as a stone. It is a choice market sort on 

 account of both shape and quality. It is a beautiful cab 

 bage in appearance, being handsome in color and general 

 uniformity. No wonder the buyers of early cabbages select 

 these attractive heads when displayed on the market stalls, 

 Almost anybody would pick out one of these solid flat heads 

 in preference to a round or pointed headed variety. 



I regret to announce that my crop of seed of Maule's 

 First Early Cabbage is so short this year I can offer only by 

 the packet and ounce. 



; half ounce, 60 cents; ounce, $1.00. 





Mrs. J. B. Babb, Murireesboro, N. C— The cabbage seed I bought of you recently 

 is fine; they are now ready to transplant, and it looks as if two cabbage plants came 

 from every seed sown. 



R. S. Murray, Ubiekasha. Okla.— I purchased from you last winter some of your 

 First Early Cabbage seed, the plants of which I planted out April 1st, and raised the 

 finest lot of cabbage I ever saw, I enclose a photograph of one plant; you will see 

 it has but few leaves, small stalk and but few roots. It weighed 14}, pounds. I have 

 larger heads, but not as good foliage. 



Messrs. Moyses Bros., Oyster Bay, N. Y.-We have used your seeds for 15 years, 

 and last year had the finest garden in the whole neighborhood. Will send our 

 order in a few days. 



W. C. Fridrichs, Waterloo. 111.— The seeds I purchased from you last year grew 

 to perfection. We have only a small garden, and from our cabbage we realized 

 414.15, besides what other truck we sold. Hurrah for Maule's Seeds. 



J. H. Finley. Prairie, Ore.— I have planted Maule's Seeds 14 years out of the 16 

 years 1 have been engaged in gardening, and I find them to give better satisfaction 

 than any others. I have planted them in Kentucky and am planting them In 

 Oregon. Had some of my truck on exhibition at stores and real estate offices, and 

 it was as good as the best. Will plant for exhibition at county fair this year. 



S. G. Brewster. Oneida, N. Y.— I am sending you an order for myself and neigh- 

 bors. The seeds I bought of you last year were perfectly satisfactory, and I had the 

 beet garden in this vicinity, therefore my friends want to plant your seeds. 



Thos. Vaughn, Bow, Okla.— I have received compliments on my garden from 

 everybody in the neighborhood, and I always give the credit to Maule's Seeds. 



A. M. Goodrich, Olyphant. Pa.— I had not intended getting up a club order this 

 season, but some of my neighbors who have favored me with their orders before, 

 were so well pleased with your seeds that I consented to order for them along with 

 my own. I think this speaks well for Maule's Seeds.
