CURRIE BROTHERS COMPANY, MILWAUKEE, WIS. 
CABBAGE 
All our Cabbage Seeds are saved from care- 
fully selected stocks, and it is impossible to get 
better at any price. 
Culture—Early Cabbage Seed should be sown 
in hot-beds during February or 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 
ibout three feet apart and about two feet 
in the row. During the growing season, 
even in hot-beds various leaf-eating in- 
sects begin to annoy and destroy the 
plants to a great degree. This may be 
controlled by applying a weak mixture of 
arsenate of lead when the heads have de- 
veloped to about two-thirds of their 
growth, after which a less-poisonous in- 
secticide should be applied, such as Helle- 
bore, Bug-Death or Slug Shot. A steady 
look-out kept and prompt application 
made will insure a good crop. 1 oz to 
4,000 plants, 4 oz. of Seed in beds to trans- 
plant upon an acre.

not stand frost. Pkt. 10c; % oz. 35¢e; 1 oz. 60c.
