NEW EARLY EXPRESS CABBAGE — The 

 earliest of all. Introduced for the first time in 

 my 1887 Catalogue and pronounced by one and 

 all the greatest addition in years to the Cabbage 

 family. Produces fair-sized marketable heads 

 70 days from sowing of the seed. 1 did not 

 think I would be able to offer for many years, #5^ 

 if ever, an earlier cabbage than Earliest «^sS-5S^y,«! 

 Etampes, but New Early Express ,,: 

 is a few days earlier than ^|^x^ft'%^ 

 even this now famons extra 

 early. It does not form quite so yz 

 large a head as the Etampes, but 

 when it is considered that thi 

 Express forms a head lit for 

 use in 70 days from the sowing 

 of the seed, I think I have 

 the pleasure of offering to 

 my customers the most im- 

 portant addition made 

 In years to the cabbage 

 family. In quality it is A No. 

 1 ; has comparatively few loose 

 leaves, and almost every plant 

 forms a fine head every time. 

 Like the Etampes, it holds its 

 head admirably, and as it can 

 be planted so close together, 

 yields a very large crop. There 

 are many cabbages called 

 "earliest" listed by other seeds 

 men. but I venture to say that 

 this new and entirely distinc 

 variety which I introduced for 

 the first time in 1887 will discount 

 them all. Packet. 15 cents; ounce, 40 cents 

 % pound. SI, 25 ; pound, S4.00. 



MAl'LE'S MIDSUMMER CABBAGE." 

 — This variety is very nearly as early as the Early 

 Summer, while at the same time it produces very much' 

 larger heads, which for solidity and compactness are unsurpassed 

 Its short, compact growth permits its being planted close in 

 rows, so although the heads are much larger than Early Summer 

 as many plants can be set to the acre. It is a remarkably sure 

 header, and for a market crop is one of the most 

 profitable varieties in existence. Maule's Midsum 

 mer is very similar in many respects, to the All Seasons, 

 lately introduced by Mr. Gregory, and comes from very 

 near the same source on Long Island. Plant Express " 

 for early. Midsummer for summer, and Surehead 

 or Prize Drumhead for winter, and you will have 

 a succession of fine Cabbage all the year round, 

 and the finest heads, both as to solid- 

 ity and quality, that it has ever been 

 your fortune to raise. Packet. 15 cts. 

 ounce, 50 cts. ; V± pound, 81.50: pound, $5.00. 

 As supply of seed is necessarily limited 

 I solicit early orders. 



SR.— This new Cucumber 

 is a cross between Early Russian and 

 Green Prolific. Fully as early as 

 the former, while it combines all 

 the fine pickling qualities of the 

 latter. Always grows uniformly and 

 wonderfully productive; seldom, if 

 ever, produces a cucumber too large 

 for pickling. That celebrated erower of 

 Cucumbers, E. L. Coy, of Wash. Co., 

 N. Y., writes :— " It not only makes a 

 standard commercial pickle, but in its 

 younger and smaller state it is a perfect 

 gem lor bottling. Its extreme earliness, 

 in addition to its many other good 

 qualities, will make it of great value to 

 market-gardeners for bottling, or com- 

 merce." If you want the earliest 

 Cucumber you have ever grown 

 must plant Maule's Ex. Early. 



VELVET- 

 0KR# 



This new Okra produces pods larger than any 

 other. They are never prickly to the touch, and 

 always round and smooth, while in other varieties 

 they are either ridged or square-edeed. At the same 

 time it is very productive and will out-yield every 

 other sort. It is certainly worthy of a "trial by all 

 my customers. Pkt. , 5 cts'.; oz., 10 cts. ; % lb. , 30 eta.
