EARLIEST EXPRESS CABBAGE. 



Maulc's Prize Jersey Wakefield 



113 



This cabbas^e has been foi many ^ eais the leadms eaih cabba;;!: 

 m \meiica The main difticultv has been to get a peifectly 'jati- 

 factory and reliable strain of seed. Buyers will find m Maule's Prize 

 Jersey Wakefield the genuine article. I grow the seed on Long 

 Island, in soil and climate perfectly suited to the purity and vigor 

 of choice Wakefield stock. It has few outer leaves, and in compact- 

 ness and regularity my strain cannot be surpassed. The thick stout 

 leaves and compact habit make it the best sort for very early set- 

 ting. It frequently matures inside of 100 days from sowing. 

 Packet, 10 cts.; ounce, 33 cts.; % pound, §1.00; pound, $3.50.

Earliest Etampes 



It is ten days to two weeks earlier than any other excepting Express and First Early. 

 It forms a fine, hard, pointed head, of extra ciuality. It has a short stem, and grows close 

 to the ground, and by reason of having so few outer or loose leaves the plants may be 

 set 1% feet apart, in rows 2>2 feet apart; sometimes even closer. The seed maybe sown 

 under glass in March and set out in time to produce marketable heads of cabbage by the 

 first of June. Packet, 10 cents; ounce, 30 cents; J^ pound, 60 cents; pound, $3.35. 



lis Maule's 

 Winningstadt 



This is another old and famous 

 type of early cabbage, but as in the 

 case of Wakefield the main diffi- 

 culty is to get a strain of seed rep- 

 resenting the highest grade of excel- 

 lence. Such a strain will be found- 

 in Maule's Winningstadt. It is al- 

 most as early as Wakefield. The heads are slightly larger, of the proper cone-shaped form, 

 and of best quality. It is a sure header, even where other sorts may fail, and seems to be 

 less liable to the attack of the cabbage worm than many other varieties. 



Packet, 10 cents; ounce, 30 cents; '^ pound, 83 cents; pound, $3.00.

All Head Early 



ALL HEAD E-RLY CABBAGE 



It has proved itself to be adaptable to a wide range of both soil and climate. 



worthy of recognition as a standard American sort. It is a money maker for 



It is the earliest of large cabbages, being at 



least a week in advance of any of the stiains 

 of Jiarly Summer. In size it is one-third laigei 

 than Early .Summer. The deep, flat heads aie 

 remarkably uniform in shape, size and coloi 

 Good quality and tenderness are marked fea- 

 tures. The compact habit of growth of All Head 

 Early cabbage renders close planting feasible 

 A good early spring, summer or winter sort

n. Charleston Wakefield 



The Charleston Wakefield is an improved and 

 larger form of Maule's Prize Jersey Wakefield 

 It requires 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 bv 

 any gardener, whether it is intended for a pii- 

 vate garden or to be sent to market.
