Superior Types of Wakefield Cabbage 



Plant 3 ounces of Seed per acre 



Early Jersey Wakefield 



RAPID STRAIN 



Days to maturity, 90. The two outstanding features of this strain are its very rapid maturity and 

 the purity of the stock. It will develop hard, marketable heads fully a week in advance of the usual 

 Jersey Wakefield. Every Cabbage-grower knows the value of such performance. Customers' reports 

 are very enthusiastic over this stock, some stating that their entire crop was cut and marketed before 

 their neighbors began to cut their W akefield. One of the leaders in the market-gardening industry 

 writes that he considers it the purest type of Wakefield Cabbage he has ever grown. The weight of 

 the heads will average about V/2 pounds. 



To growers who hesitate to pay S6 per pound for our Rapid Strain when Jersey Wakefield can be 

 bought for S3, we would point out that the price of S6 per pound, when reduced to acre costs, is about 

 SI. 12; S3-per-pound seed makes an acre cost of 56 cents per acre. Is it worth 56 cents an acre to be 

 able to produce the very earliest Cabbage in your vicinity? We believe it is. Usually the sale of the 

 first two heads will make up the difference. Price, delivered: Pkt. 25 cts.; oz. 50 cts.; l /^h. $1.75; 

 lb. $6; 5 lbs. or more, $5.50 per lb. 



Charleston Wakefield 



SEA-ISLAND STRAIN 



Days to maturity, 97. The value of early Cabbage lies very largely in its earliness. To growers 

 who require the Charleston type of Wakefield rather than the Early Jersey type, we enthusiastically 

 offer this Sea-Island Strain as being a large-heading variety maturing about one week after 

 our Rapid Strain of Early Jersey Wakefield. This Sea-Island Strain will mature from a week 

 to ten days earlier than average commercial strains of Charleston. As to type, we can highly recom- 

 mend its purity. In weight the heads will average 2 pounds or over. As pointed out above, the extra 

 cost of planting S6-per-pound seed over S3-per-pound is approximately 56 cents per acre. Again we 

 leave the final deduction up to the planter. Already thousands of our customers have found that it 

 has been good business on their part to pay the slight extra price for an identified strain. This 

 Sea-Island strain will give a good account of itself. Price, delivered: Pkt. 25 cts.; oz. 50 cts.; YJh. 

 $1.75; lb. $6; 5 lbs. or more, $5.50 per lb.
