 or June. Sow shallow; 1 ounce of seed for 3.000 plants; % pound for

EARLIEST 

 CABBAGE 



IN 



Existence 



,n Maule's First Early Cabbage 



A Great Money Maker and a Trade Holder for the Market Gardener 



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 flat-head cabbage 

 was first introduced in 1901. During the last seventeen years 

 it has fully sustained its reputation for commercial value, as 

 well as for extreme earliness ; all reports received concern- 

 ing First Early are that it is even 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 

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

 Packet 



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. 



Many of our customers have cleaned off their entire crop 

 of Maule's First Early before they have started to cut Early 

 Wakefield, or All Head Early. It certainly deserves the 



place of honor at the head of our list of cabbages. 

 15 cents; half ounce, 35 cents; ounce, 60 cents; quarter pound, $2.00, postpaid. 



In this connection, I desire to state that my previous seeds I received from you 

 tar exceeded my exp ectations in the amount ol produce I received, and I assure you 

 all my future orders for seeds will be forwarded to you; they are without doubt the 

 Best I have ever used. I would be pleased to receive vour "Market Gardeners' 

 Price List specified in your catalogue. WM. C. ARTMAN.

I have used Maule's Seeds for a number of years; they give satisfaction. They 

 are the cheapest on the market tor they are the BEST. W. B. CRAVEN, Smartt, Tenn. 



The cabbage plants I got of yon are doing wonders. We have had cabbage to eat 

 over a month. They are a wonder to everybody, so nice and solid. 



Mrs. ELVIRA A. STEWART, Westport, Clinton Co., Penna. 

 I have used your seed for 20 years. I use no others. My neighbors comment 

 on my early garden. They think it is the ground. I tell them "No, it's the seed, 

 not the ground." I tell them "I never fail when I plant Maule's seeds."
