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

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

 European Countries where, owing to their climate, it produces large quantities of seed; but it is practically worthless in America. AVe exercise exceptional 

 care in growing and selecting our Cabbage seed. It is all high-bred American-grown, except such varieties as should be grown abroad to get the best 

 results, such as the Danish 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 loo 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 youn.g 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 IS 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 thiscase 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 grower says: "Take one ounce of saltpeter 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 per- 

 fectly clear, never colors the cauliflower or Cabbage heads."

The Chariest. in. or Large Wakefield Cabbage 



Exira Early Cabbage 



25. Big Winner WaKefield. (Specialty, page 13.) AVeintro- 

 duced this remarkable cabbage eight years ago. It met with a 

 hearty reception from every one ^vho grew it. Kvery year we 

 receive a great many letters of praise and congratulation regard- 

 the Big Winner Wakefield Cabbage. No other Cabbage of which 

 w-e have knowledge has arousedsuch enthusiasm aniongcabbage 

 growers as has our Big Winner Wakefield. It has the same gen- 

 eral 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. Large 

 Pkt. 10c. Oz. 35c. Ji I^b. $1.00. Lb. $3.50. 



27. Extra Early Express. (Specialty, page 13.) This, the 

 earliest of all Cabbage, has produced marketable heads in SO 

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

 yields large, early paying crops. Pkt. lOc. Oz. 20c. K Lb. 50c. 

 Lb. $1.50. 



26. New Leader. (Specialty, page 13.) As early as the Wake- 

 field, yields 12.U0O 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 thoroughly 

 matured, thus enabling extremely early cutting of small hard 

 heads, or later when the Wakefield come in, of large, thoroughly 

 matured, solid, round, flat heads. Pkt. 10c. Oz. 35c. K Lb. $1. 

 Lb. $3.50. 



28. Extra Early Jersey WaKefield. American Grown. 



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

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

 grow. Pkts. 5c and 10c. Oz. lie. 2 Ozs. 25c. K Lb. 5uc. M Lb. 75.

30. Early Jersey WaKefield Cabbag'e. Bolgiano's Selected 

 Stock. The most popular early Cabbage with market garden- 

 ers all over the country. It is grown in vast quantities for ship- 

 ment to Northern cities. Unequaled for size , solidity, earliness, 

 uniformity and trueness, is the universal verdict of Cabbage 

 growers. Our stock of Wakefield is the earliest in cultivation. 

 Every Cabbage grower should use our Wakefield. Our seed is 

 ordered b.v large Cabbage growers long in advance of the time 

 of sowing seed in order to secure our fine slock, which 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. 15c. 

 K Lb. 50c. Lb. Sl.50. 



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 de- 

 cided advantage it has over all 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, andalways brings betterprices than .i;i\ 

 other sort han-ested at the same time. Our stock is thorougly 

 reliable. Pkts. 5c and 10c. Oz. 15c. K Lb. 50c. Lb. $1.50. 



33. Early Large YorK, This is a very valuable early variety, 

 and follows the Express 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. 

 Oz. 15c. M Lb. 50c. Lb. $1.25. 



34. Early Winnig'stadt— 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. Oz. 15c. !4 Lb. -fOc. Lb. $1.25.
