CABBAGE 
1 oz. for 2,000 plants; 14 lb. per acre. 
CULTURE.—The best results are obtained from a well- 
drained, deep rich loam. The very early varieties should be 
sown about September 15th and in 4 or 5 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- 
ings later of course according to variety and time crop is 
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. 
New Selected Jersey Wakefield 
Cabbages should be hoed every week and the ground thor- 
oughly stirred as they advance in growth, drawing a little 
earth to the plants each time until they begin to head, when 
they should be thoroughly cultivated and left to mature. 
FIRST EARLY SORTS 
Earlier than Jersey Wake- 
Extra Early Express field, smaller and less com- 
pact, but often a very profitable crop. 
An improv- 
New Selected Jersey Wakefield *: Dees 
Early Jersey Wakefield, grown and selected with the great- 
est care; there is none better. Plant compact and erect or 
very slightly spreading, with few outer leaves, which are 
smooth, thick, nearly oval and light green. Stem short. 
Heads of medium size, very solid, uniformly pointed and of 
excellent quality. 
(Regular 
Early Jersey Wakefield Stout.) 
Charleston or Large Wakefield ae oe 
less pointed heads than Jersey and a week or two later in 
maturity. The heads are very solid and the leaves are large, 
smooth and thick. It is exceedingly hardy and has become 
very popular with growers and shippers because of its earli- 
ness and size. An excellent succession to Jersey Wakefield. 
Golden Acre Matures earlier than Jersey Wakefield, 
forming a large round, solid head re- 
sembling Copenhagen Market; very uniform, and compact, 
having few outer leaves which permits close planting. Golden 
Acre commands very -high prices. 
Copenhagen Market This very fine, large round 
headed variety is of Danish 
origin and has proven to be very valuable to the American 
grower. It is nearly as early as Jersey Wakefield. The 
heads average about 10 pounds, and the stems are very short. 
Close planting is possible because of the fact that there are 
very few outer leaves, the stems are short and the heads 
very compact. 
Very early flat heading sort forming 
New Leader small solid heads, very early but devel- 
oping larger heads if allowed to stand. 
Large sure heading, dark 
Glory of Enkhuizen green variety, globular, very 
hard and solid, few outer leaves, excellent quality.
