Yellows Resistant Varieties marked * 



CULTURE. — The best results are obtained from a well- 

 drained, deep rich loam. The very early varieties should be 

 ■own about September 16th and in 4 or 6 weeks transplanted 

 to coldframes, from which they are transplanted to open 

 ground from March 15 to April 15. If this is not done the 

 seed should be sown in hotbeds in February; making plant- J 

 ings later of course according to variety and time crop it 9 

 wanted. The earliest sorts should be set out in rows 2 feet 

 apart and 18 inches apart in the rows. 



If it is not especially desired to have early cabbage the 

 seed may be sown in open ground and transplanted after 4 

 weeks. For second early crops sow in April and transplant 

 in May; these will mature in July and August. The later 

 varieties should be planted in May and transplanted in July 

 to rows 3 feet apart and 2 feet apart in the rows; these 

 will mature from September to November.

•YELLOWS RESISTANT VARIETIES— The State of Wis- 

 consin and several other State Departments of Agriculture 

 have for a number of years been working on the best com- 

 mercial cabbage varieties, adapting them to resist yellows 

 or wilt. It is now possible with these resistant stocks to 

 grow cabbage successfully even on diseased land, by sowing 

 seed which is grown under special conditions to make it 

 resistant. While the cost of this seed is somewhat higher 

 than non-resistant seed, there is the added advantage of 

 securing stock which has been reselected for conformity 

 to true type and heading quality. Therefore these improved 

 varieties are most desirable for both diseased and clean 

 ground.
