LIST OF TESTED GARDEN SEEDS FOR 1926. 15 
CABBAGE 
All our Cabbage Seeds are saved from care- 
fully selected stocks, and it is impossible to get 
better at any price. e, 
Culture—farly Cabbage Seed should be sown 
in hot-beds during February and March. When 
large enough the plants should be transplanted 
into cold frames, and as early as the ground is in 
fit condition they should be planted in the garden, 
in rows about two feet apart and about 
18 inches in the row. The late varieties- 
should be sown about the first of May, and 
set out in the garden in June and July. 
As these grow larger than the early va- 
rieties, they should be planted in rows 
about three feet apart and about two feet 
in the row. During the growing season, 
even in hot-beds various leaf-eating in- 
sects are likely to attack the plants, de- 
stroying many if uninterfered with. They 
may be controlled by applications of a 
weak mixture of arsenate of lead until the 
heads have developed to about two-thirds 
of their normal size, after which a less 
poisonous insecticide should be applied, 
such as Hellebore, Bug-Death or Slug 
Shot. Prompt and continuous application 
will insure a good crop. 1 oz. to 4,000 
plants, 4 oz. of Seed in beds to transplant 
upon an acre. a 
FIRST EARLY SORTS. 
COPENHAGEN MARKET—The heads are round, averaging 8

mitting close planting. We offer the true stock grown in 
Denmark. Pkt. 10c; oz. 40c; 4% lb. $1.15; 1 1b. $4.00.

head is conical. Pkt. 10c; % oz. 25c; 1 oz. 40c; % Ib. $1.15. 
CURRIE’S ECLIPSE—The earliest of all large Cabbages. It

fully two weeks earlier. The heads grow very uniform in 
size, with few loose leaves, remarkably solid, very tender, 
and of the finest quality. The veins and mid-ribs of the 
leaves are much smaller than other varieties. Color dark 
green. The Eclipse is all that can be desired as an early 
Cabbage, and a valuable sort for main crop. The stem is
