One of the most staple vegetables of the American table, possessing 
highly valuable and health giving qualities; easily grown, requiring but 
little attention and in sections where the soil is rich, very profitable 
crops are produced. 
Select a rich piece of ground, the richer the better; and for late 
spring and early summer use, sow the seed during February, March and 
April in drills one foot to 20 inches apart, one-half to one inch deep. 
When the plants are well started thin out to 4 to 6 inches apart, or 
sow the seed thinly and allow all the plants to stand. 
For winter and early spring use, sow either in drills or broadcast 
during August, September and October. A top dressing of Nitrate of 
Soda will make a vast improvement in the earliness, size and quality of 
the crop.

Old Dominion Resistant Savoy which stands 12 to 15 days 
longer, having about the same season of growth as our Extra 
Dark Green Savoy. With old Dominion it is now possible to 
successfully grow an early spring crop on diseased soil, where it 
was previously necessary to take chances with the early seeding 
character of Virginia Blight Resistant.
