LIST OF TESTED GARDEN SEEDS FOR 1927.

CABBAGE 



All oar Cabbage Seeds are saved from care- 

 fully selected stocks, and it is impossible to set 

 better at any price. 



Culture — Early 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. 



FIRST EARLY SORTS. 



COPENHAGEN MARKET — The heads are round, averaging 8 

 pounds in weight, very solid with small core. It is very 

 short stemmed, the heads forming almost on the ground; 

 the leaves are light-green and always tightly folded, per- 

 mitting close planting. We offer the true stock grown in 

 Denmark. Pkt. 10c; oz. 40c; % lb. $1.15; 1 lb. $4.00. 



Early Spring- or Flat Parisian — An extra early flat-headed 

 sort. As early as Jersey Wakefield, with heads twice the 

 weight of Wakefield. It is very solid and regular in shape, 

 has few outside leaves. Pkt. 10c; Va oz. 20c; 1 oz. 30c; % lb. 

 90c; 1 lb. $3.00. 



CURRIE'S EARLY MARKET — Comparing it with Jersey 

 Wakefield, we find it earlier, besides having a much larger 

 and finer head with few loose outside leaves. In form the 

 head is conical. Pkt. 10c; 1/2 oz. 25c; 1 oz. 40c; % lb. $1.15. 



CURRIE'S ECLIPSE — The earliest of all large Cabbages. It 

 is considerably larger than Henderson's Early Summer and 

 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 

 very short. Pkt. 10c; 1/2 oz. 20c; 1 oz. 30c; 14 lb. 95c; 

 1 lb. $3.50. 



Clirrie's Eclipse. 



Early Jersey Wakefield, Extra Selected Stock.

 and very solid. Pkt. 10c; % oz. 20c; 1 oz. 30c; V4 lb. 95c,, 

 1 lb. $3.50.

 carefully selected from the earliest and most solid heads, 

 and is the finest that money can procure. Pkt. 10c; V2 oz. 

 20c; 1 oz. 30c; % lb. 95c; 1 lb. $3.50. 



GLORY 'OF ENKHUIZEN— The best of the early large headed 



sorts, maturing with Early Suiumer, but producing larger 

 solider heads than that variety. The heads have very 

 few outside leaves, keep in condition for a long time and 

 are fine grained and tender. An excellent sort for shipping 

 and the home garden. Pkt. 10c; 1 oz. 35c; 14 lb. $1.00;
