Early and Medium Cabbages. 



MAULE'S EARLY FLAT DUTCH. 



MAULE'S EARLY FLAT DUTCH.— An old 

 sort, but of unabated popularity. An excellent 

 second early cabbage, producing large, solid 

 heads of uniform shape, flattened on top as 

 Ghowu in the illustration, and always making a 

 handsome appearance. Fully developed 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 every- 

 where, but seems particularly suited to the 

 South, as it has strong heat resisting qualities.

EARLY SPRING.— 



A first early cabbage 

 with all the merits of 

 Early Summer; ready 

 to cut as soon as Jersey 

 Wakefield; a fiat 

 cabbage maturing as 

 quickly as a pointed 

 cabbage. Early .Spring 

 cabbage often attains a 

 weight of 5 pounds, and 

 averages a fifth larger 

 thanWakefield. Plants 

 may be set 21 inches 

 apart in the row, or 

 U!,5UU plants to the acre. 

 Growth is uniform; 

 head round, slightly 

 flattened. Stem short, 

 extending but a little 

 way into the head. The 

 plant is finely bred, the 

 leaves presenting no 

 coarse features. Flavor 

 very good. Adapted to 

 family garden or mar- 

 ket. A very valuable 

 addition to my list. 

 Pkt., 10c; ox., 25c; 

 H lb., 75c; lb., $2.50. EARLY SPRING. 



EARLY SUMMER.— This valuable cabbage matures ten days or two weeks after Early Jer- 

 sey Wakefield, with heads of uniformly round, flattened form, as shown in the illustration. 

 The heads are very compact and solid, and of double the weight of Early Jersey Wakefield. It 

 is one of the best of the large, early cabbages, and is exceedingly valuable for the market gar- 

 dener, as it has short outer leaves, adapting it for close planting. It may be grown at the 

 rate of 11,1)00 to 12,000 to the acre, and is a sure and satisfactory cropper. I ofTer strictly first- 

 class Long Island grown seed. Packet, 10c; ounce, 25c; \i pound, 75c; pound, $2.25. 



IMPROVED BRUNSWICK. Short Stemmed.— 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 pounds. I take great 



pride in my strain of Short Stemmed Brunswick cabbage. Packet, 10 cts.} 



ounce, 25 cts.; J4 pound, 75 cts.; pound, $2.50. 

 EXTRA EARLY SUMMER SAVOY.— A savoy cabbage with a large 



pointed head, very early 



and of upright growth. Can 



be planted closely. Rich 



green s a v o y e d leaved. 



Heads rich yellowish green, 



tender and crisp. It is very 



distinct from all other 



savoys and is a sure header. 



Good for either the home 



garden or early market. 



Packet, 10 cents; ounce, 



30 cents; '- 4 ' pound, $1.00; 



pound, $3.00. 



L. R. Babylon, Westminster. 

 Md.— I thought, when I received 

 H the Ideal Early Corn, that you ; ,; 

 sent me hominy corn. I had 

 some early corn planted, and : M 

 up 2 inches, when your corn \! 

 reached me, and I planted it la 

 and had eaten your Ideal Corn ;j 

 a long time before the other was si 

 fit. It is a wonderful corn— the K: 

 finest I ever saw. I can give it * 

 a good recommendation. 



EARLY SUMMER. 



CHARLESTON WAKEREID. 



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 

 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 be sent 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 cts.; 

 ounce, 35 cts.; % pound. $1: pound, $3.50.
