CABBAGE ON THE PACIFIC COAST 



THE perfect adaptability of cabbage to widely varying 

 climatic and soil conditions is proven splendidly on 

 the Pacific Coast. It thrives equally well under the 

 influence of the open coast and on the lowlands and 

 mountain slopes of the interior. 



When to plant cabbage on the Pacific Coast cannot 

 be determined by definite dates because of the great 

 variation in temperature in even one and the same small 

 section. On the broad principle that cabbage needs plenty 

 of moisture, it is a winter crop, and generally speaking, 

 most plants are set out in September. 



There are a few special strains of early and late cabbages 

 that prove particularly suitable to growing on the Pacific 

 Coast. Besides Jersey Wake field, already mentioned, 

 there is the late conical variety Winnigstadt. Danish 

 Ballhead, as illustrated above, is widely grown under the 

 name of Hollander. Burpee's Surehead is a strain of 

 Premium Flat Dutch particularly liked in California.
