iVo vegetable is of greater imporiatice to the market garde^ier than the Cabbage, and to mayiy growers tlie success 07-faUure of this crop means gain or 

 loss for tlie year. Cabbage seed, tlieref ore, is tlie last seed in tlie list to buy because it is cheap. Mifh of tlie seed sold at a low price is imported front 

 European countries wtiere, owing to tlie cli/nate, it produces large Quantities of seed: but it is p> actically cvortliless iyi A merica. We excercise exceptional care 

 in growing and selecting our Cabbage seed. It is all high-bred American-grown, exupt such varieties as slwuld be grown abroad to get tlie best results 

 such as tlie Dan ish Ball Head. 



Cnltnre. Soil for Cabbage should be rich and heavy loam, with good drainage. On such a soil, tvith an abundance of stable manure, excellent crops 

 are sure to be grown. For early spring, sow in fall not too early, or the plants are liable to bolt in the spring, instead of heading. In a month the plants 

 ■will be fit to transplant to cold frames where they are wintered, taking care in planting, to set the young plants down to the firstleares. Transplant in 

 spring as soon as the ground can be worked, setting the plants 2 feet apart one way and from 12 to 18 inches the other, according to the variety. For late or 

 winter crops, the seed is sown in May, and the plants set out in July. In this case they are set in rows 2 by 3 feet, so as to work them with a horse and 

 cultivator. To destroy the green worm, an experienced gro-sversajs: "Take one ounce of saltpeterand dissolve it in 12 quartsof water, then take ashort- 

 handled whisk broom, dip in the solution and sprinkle the plants well. One application is sufficient, unless the stuS is washed off by heavy rains. The 

 liquid being perfectly clear, never colors the cauliflower or Cabbage heads." 



Extra Early Cabbage 



25. Bifi 'Vriimcr 'Waliefield. (Specialty, page 14.) We in- 

 troduced this remarkable cabbage eiijhtyears ago. It met with 

 a hearty reception from everj' one who grew it. Every year we 

 receive a great many letters of praise and congratulation regard- 

 ing the Big Winner Wakefield Cabbage. Ko other Cabbage of 

 which we have knowledge has aroused such enthusiasm among 

 cabbage growers as has our Big Winner Wakefield. It has the 

 same general characteristics of other Wakefield Cabbages, the 

 heads being conical with a rounded or blunt point. Itis, however 

 farsuperior to other strains of Wakefield Cabbage, being nearly 

 double the size and better quality, and at the same time is fully 

 as early. It has few outher leaves, permitting close planting, so 

 that more heads can be grown to the acre than with other sorts.

27. Extra Early Express. (Specialtj', page 14.) This, the 

 earliest of all Cabbage, has produced marketable heads in 80 days 

 from the sowing of the seed. It can be planted close and yields 

 large, early paying crops. Pkt. 10c. Oz. 20c. M Vo. 60c. I.b. $1.75. 



26. New l.eader. (Specialty, page 14.) As early as the 

 Wakefield, yields 12,000 heads, one third more per acre than any 

 other extra early cabbage. The outer leaves are so few and so 

 small that they can be planted very close. The heads are compact 

 and solid from the time a head is formed and keeps so until thor- 

 oughly matured, thus enabling extremely early cutting of small 

 hard heads, or later when the Wakefield comes in, of large, thor- 

 oughlv matured, solid, round, flat beads. Pkt. 10c. Oz. 35c.

 davs earlier; habit vigorous, short stem and most profitable to

30. Early Jersey 'WaieHeld Cabbaiie. Bolgiano' s Selected 

 Stock. The most popular early Cabbage with market gardeners 

 all over the country. It is grown in vast quaniities for shipment 

 to Northern cities. XJnequaled forsize. solidity, earliness, uni- 

 formity, and trueness, is the universal verdict of Cabbage grow- 

 ers. Our stock of Wakefield is the earliest in cultivation. Every 

 Cabbasre grower should use our Wakefield. Our seed is ordered 

 by large Cabbage growers long in advance of the time of sowing 

 seed in order to secure our fine stock, which has never failed to 

 produce satisfactory crops. Our seed is used in all the states 

 where early ICabbage is grown. Pkts. 5c and 10c. Oz. 20c.

32. The Charleston or I,arge WakeHeld. The Best 

 l-ar^e Early Cabbage. This Cabbage has created a sensation 

 with the Cabbage growers all over the country on account of the 

 decided advantage it has over all other sorts. It can be the FIRST 

 variety SENT TO MARKET, and on account of its handsome 

 appearance will invariablj' bring the tip-top prices. If however, 

 the early market _pricesare low, it can be safely left standing in 

 the field to mature'to an extra large, compact, solid, magnificent 

 Cabbage, which has never failed to attract the admiration of the 

 most skilled gardeners, and always brings better prices than any 

 other sort harvested at tne same time. Our stock is thoroughly 

 reliable.^ Pkts. 5c and 10c. Oz. 20c. ^ Xb. 60c. Lb. $1.75. 



266. "Copenhagen'.Market." New Early Danish Cab- 

 ba!ie. (Specialty, see page 14.) As early as Charleston Wakefield. 

 This new Cabbage is very hea\-y and solid, like the Dani.-;h "Ball- 

 Head" type of Cabbage: makes a fine, large, globe-shaped head 

 v\-ith well-developed outside leaves, but is very much earlier in 

 maturing than any of the Danish Cabbages, and makes for us a 

 very fine second-early variety, coming in about two weeks later 

 than the "Early Jersey Wakefield." The heads weigh 14 to 16 

 pounds each. The seed is very scarce this year. Pkt. 10c.

33. Early Large York. This is a very valuable early -s-ariety. 

 and follows the E.'^press and Jersey Wakefield in heading. The 

 heads are round, heart-shaped and firm. Its dwarf growth will 

 permit them being planted closely together. Pkts. 5c and 10c.

34. Early ■H'innigstadt— The Pmssian Prize Stock. The 

 popularity of Winuigstadt Cabbage in all sections of the world is 

 proverbial, but there is a great difference in the quality of the 

 stocks. Some will produce heads of twice the size of others: the 

 finest is grown in Northern Prussia. It is from this section that 

 our famous stock was introduced a few years ago. It has become 

 very popular with our market gardeners. Pkt. 5c and 10c.
