EARLY SPRING.— 
A first early cabbage 
with all the merits of 
Early Summer; ready 
to cut as Seon as Jersey 
Wakefield; a flat cab- 
bage maturing as 
quickly as a pointed 
cabbage. Early Spring 
cabbage often attainsa 
weight of5 pounds, and 
averages a fifth larger 
than Wakefield. Plants 
may be set 21 inches 
apart in the row, or 
13,500 plants to the acre. 
Growth is uniform; 
) head reund, 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.

vA 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 11,000 to 12,000 to the acre, and is a sure and satisfactory cropper. I offer strictly first- 
class Long Island grown seed. Packet, 10 cents; ounce, 25 cents; 4 pound, 75 cents; pound, $2.50. 
i IMPROVED BRUNSWICK. Short Stemmed.—Also sold under the name of Fottler’s 
Early Drumhead. 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 avery reliable header, and under good cultivation will attain a weight 
of 15 to 20 pounds. In quality the Improved Brunswick is altogether desir- 
able, and many people who grow only one sort prefer it to all other varie- 
ties. I take great pride in my strain of Short Stemmed Brunswick cabbage. 
Packet, 5 cents; ounce, 20 cents; 14 pound, 60 cents; pound, $2.00.

CABBAGES. : 


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 
shown 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 tlavor. It succeeds every- §} 
where, but seems particularly suited to the 
Sopth, as it has strong heat resisting qualities.

CHARLESTON WAKEFIELD CABBAGE. 


. vate garden or to besent to market. All the mar- 
V CHARLESTON WAKEFIELD. 
An Improved and Larger Form of Jersey 
Wakefield. True Type. 
The Early Jersey Wakefield, with its little 
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 sizeand light in weight, butisso 
reliably early and so genuinely good that noth- 
ing 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- 



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 unquestionabiy 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 in the world, and can recommend it toall. ,| 
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 i} 
it; I recommend it bighly. Packet, 10 cents; | 
ounce, 30 cents; 4 pound, $1.00; pound, $3.00. i
