CABBAGES FOR MIDSEASON AND LATE CROP 



"TX) GATHER solid heads of good quality in late 

 A summer and early fall, from seeds sown in the spring, 

 use either Henderson s Succession, All Seasons, or both. 

 Succession is of somewhat flattened shape and reaches 

 full size within 135 days from date seeds are sown. All 

 Seasons, as illustrated above, comes a week to ten days 

 later, is almost ball-shaped, and the trimmed heads aver- 

 age heavier. Both kinds are adapted to all sections, 

 soils, and climate. 



Among the late sorts suitable for winter storage, Prem- 

 ium Flat Dutch and Danish Ballhead are the two undis- 

 puted leaders. The former is by far the most widely 

 known and grown because it thrives most anywhere. 

 Danish Ballhead shows a distinct preference for heavy 

 clay soil and does not do so well on thin land. The 

 choice of good cabbages is great. The home gardener 

 should best study the catalogs of the seedsmen in his 

 section and profit by the experience of his neighbors.
