No vegetable is of greater importance to the market gardener tkaji the Cabbage, and to many growers the success or failure of this crop means gain or 

 loss for the yeer. Cabbage seed, therefore, is the last seed in the list to buy because it is clieap. Much of the seed sold at a low price is imported from 

 European countries where, owing to the climate, it produces large quantities of seed: but it is practically worthless i)t America. We ex-ercise exceptional care 

 in growing a?id selecting 02ir Cabbage seed. It is all high-bred American-grown, except such varieties as should be grown abroad to get t/ie best results, 

 such as tlie Vanish Bald Head. 



Culture. Soil for Cabbage should be rich and heavy loam, with good drainage. On such a soil, with 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 first leaves. 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 deslroy the green worm, an experienced grower says: "Take one ounce of s.Tltpeter and dissolve it in 12 quarts of water, then take a short- 

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

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



Extra Early Cabbage 



25. Big Winner Wakefield. (Specialty, page 13.) We in- 

 troduced this remarkable cabbage eight years ago. It met vpith 

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

 receive a great many letters of praise and congratulation regard- 

 ing the Big Winner Wakefield Cabbage. No 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. It is, however 

 far superior to other strains of Wakefield Cabbage, being nearly 

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

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

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

27. Extra Early Express. (Specialty, page 13.) 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. %X,h.5Qc. I,b. $1.50. 



26. New Leader. (Specialty, page 13.) 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- 

 oughly matured, solid, round, flat heads. Pkt. 10c. Oz. 35c.

An excellent early sort. Heads formed like a Wakefield, but ten 

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

 grow. Pkts. 5 and 10c. Oz. 20c. % Lb. 50c. Lb. $1.50.

The Charleston, or Laree Wakefield Cabbage 



Bolgiano's Selected Jersey Wakefield Cabbage 



30. Early Jersey Wakefield Cabbage. Bolgiano's Selected 

 Stock. The most popular early Cabbage with market gardeners 

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

 to Northern cities. Unequaled for size, solidity, earliness. uni- 

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

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

 Cabbage 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, wliich has never failed to 

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

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

32. The Charleston or Large Wakefield. The Best 

 Large Early Cabbage. This Cabbage has created a sensation 

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

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

 variety SENT TO MARKET, and on account of its handsome 

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

 the early market prices are 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 

 oUier sort harvested at the same time. Our stock is thoroughly 

 reliable.^ Pkts. 5c and 10c. Oz. 20c. 54^ Lb. SOc. Lb. $1.50.^ 



266. "Copenhagen Market." New Early Banish Cab- 

 bage, (Specialty, see page 13.) Asearly as Charleston Wakefield. 

 This new Cabbage is very heavy and solid. like the Danish "Ball- 

 H( ad" type of Cabbage: makes a fine, large, globe-shaped head 

 with well-developed outside leaves, but is very much earlier in 

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

 \ ■ ry 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 variety, 

 and follows the Express and Jer.sey 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 Winnigstadt— The Prussian Prize Stock. The 

 popularity of Winnigstadt 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. Pkts. 5c and 10c.
