CABBAGE 



THOSE who esteem cabbage may enjoy it the year 

 around, and there are a great many kinds, of all 

 shapes and sizes, as well as different color and flavor, to 

 please a great variety of people. Cabbage is of great- 

 est adaptability to various climatic and soil conditions. 

 It thrives anywhere in this country, though to score best 

 results attention must be given to varieties adapted to 

 different soils and seasons. 



As a rule cabbage is grown as an early crop for spring 

 and summer use and as a late crop for winter storage. 

 The methods of growing are the same everywhere, though 

 the varieties grown early in the season differ greatly from 

 those grown for winter storage. All cabbages may be 

 divided into oblong or pointed-headed sorts, flat-headed 

 or round-headed sorts, savoy and red cabbages. In all 

 classes we find early and late varieties for different pur- 

 poses.
