SUPERIOR VEGETABLE SEEDS 
FIELD OF MANNS’ EARLY JERSEY WAKEFIELD CABBAGE 
CABBAGE 
1 oz. for 2,000 plants; 14 Ib. 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 plantings 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 very 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 ft. apart and 
2 feet apart in the rows; these will mature from September to 
November. 
Cabbages should be hoed every week and the ground thoroughly 
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.
