HARDY CABBAQE PliANTS. 



During the last few years many peo- 

 ple in this part of northern Texas have 

 been ordering winter cabbage plants 

 from the east and planting them in, the 

 field in December. We have seen these 

 plants stand zero weather without dam- 

 age. We should like to grow a lot of 

 these, but do not know where to procure 

 seed that will produce hardy plants. Can 

 you give us the desired information? 

 Please state, also, when seed should be 

 planted to be ready for the December 

 market. H. & H. 



There is no difference in the seed 

 sown to produce these so-called hardy 

 cabbage plants. H. & H. may order 

 from any reliable seedsman any variety 

 that his locality requires, and save the 

 expense of buying the plants. The 

 plants are in reality no hardier than 

 others, grown anywhere else and hard- 

 ened off. The seed should be sown about 

 September 1 to 15, to have plants ready 

 for December setting. The home-grown 

 plants will be just as good and quite as 

 hardy as eastern plants. 



VEGETABLE GROWERS TO MEET. 



George E. Eowe, editor of the Fruit 

 Grower, published at Grand Bapids, is 

 chairman of the committee that has 

 charge of the arrangements for the 

 third annual convention of the Green- 

 house Vegetable Growers' and Market 

 Gardeners' Association of America, 

 which will be held in Grand Bapids the 

 last week in September. He says: 



"We are planning the biggest con- 

 vention ever held. While there were 

 approximately 300 present at the meet- 

 ing last year in Ashtabula, we expect 

 to have over 500 present at the meeting 

 in Grand Bapids. A splendid program 

 is being prepared. The ablest men in 

 America will discuss the subjects of 

 greatest interest to market gardeners 

 and greenhouse vegetable growers. 



"Besides having an opportunity of 

 visiting cne of the most beautiful cities 

 in the United States and the home of 

 the famous Grand Bapids lettuce, Davis 

 bean. Grand Bapids Forcing tomato, 

 etc., visitors will come into contact 

 with and exchange thought with the 

 most progressive growers of the day. 



"We wish to know at your earliest 

 convenience if we can count on you 

 being present. If you wish to make an 

 exhibit, let us know the amount of 

 space you will require, so that we may 

 be able at an early date to make the 

 necessary arrangements. An early re- 

 ply will be greatly appreciated."

 tural books at publishers' prices.

 need coveringr — and theiefore save half the 

 time you have to ffive to sinirle glass sash in

 arrower will see at once the value of the 

 earlier, stockier plants resultingr. Yourcrops

Here is what one grower says 



Harry S-WalberofTerre Haute, Ind., grew cabbage, 

 tomatoes, eggplants and mangoes under Sunlight 



Double Glass Sash last season. The minimum ther- 

 momettr was 1 5 below zero. No plants were injured. 

 He says in part; "PlahXs grown under single layer 

 sash were not to be compared with mine".
