CABBAGE 



All our Cabbage Seeds are saved from care- 

 fully selected stocks, and It is Impossible to get 

 better at any price. 



Cultnre — 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 

 IS 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 feel . « 



in the row. During the growing season, fl 



even in hot-beds various leaf-eating in- ^H 

 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 oi. to 4,<M)0 plants, 4
