  No 
  vegetable 
  is 
  of 
  greater 
  importance 
  to 
  the 
  market 
  gardener 
  than 
  theCabbage, 
  and 
  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 
  the 
  climate, 
  it 
  produces 
  large 
  quantities 
  of 
  seed; 
  but 
  it 
  is 
  practically 
  worthless 
  in 
  America. 
  We 
  

   e.xercise 
  exceptional 
  care 
  in 
  growing 
  and 
  selecting 
  our 
  Cabbage 
  seed. 
  It 
  is 
  all 
  highbred 
  American-grown, 
  except 
  such 
  varieties 
  as 
  should 
  be 
  grown 
  

   abroad 
  to 
  get 
  the 
  best 
  results 
  such 
  as 
  the 
  Danish 
  Ball 
  Head. 
  

  

  Culture. 
  Soil 
  for 
  Cabage 
  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 
  too 
  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 
  \'>intered, 
  taking 
  care 
  in 
  planting, 
  to 
  set 
  the 
  young 
  

   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 
  18 
  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 
  

   this 
  case 
  they 
  are 
  set 
  in 
  rows 
  2

  3 
  feet, 
  so 
  as

  (Specialty,

  We 
  

   introduced 
  this 
  remarkable 
  cabbage 
  eight 
  years 
  ago. 
  It 
  

   met 
  with 
  a 
  hearty 
  reception 
  from 
  every 
  one 
  who 
  grew 
  it. 
  

   Every 
  year 
  we 
  receive 
  a 
  great 
  many 
  letters 
  of 
  praise 
  and 
  

   congratulation 
  regarding 
  the 
  Big 
  Winner 
  Wakefield 
  Cab- 
  

   bage. 
  No 
  other 
  Cabbage 
  of 
  which 
  we 
  have 
  knowledge 
  

   has 
  aroused 
  such 
  enthusiasm 
  among 
  cabbage 
  growers 
  as 
  

   has 
  our 
  Big 
  Winner 
  Wakefield. 
  It 
  has 
  the 
  same 
  general 
  

   characteristics 
  of 
  other 
  Wakefield 
  Cabbages, 
  the 
  heads 
  

   being 
  conical 
  with 
  a 
  rounded 
  or 
  blunt 
  point. 
  It 
  is, 
  how- 
  

   ever, 
  far 
  superior 
  to 
  other 
  strains 
  of 
  Wakefield 
  Cabbage, 
  

   being 
  nearly 
  double 
  the 
  size 
  and 
  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.

  12,000

  one-third 
  more 
  per

   than 
  any 
  other

  The

  are 
  

   so 
  few 
  and 
  so 
  small 
  that 
  they 
  can

  very 
  close.

  are 
  compact

  the 
  time 
  a

  is 
  

   formed
