Bolgiano's High-Bred American-Grown Cabbage Seed Will Produce the Best Crop You Have Ever Grown 



No vegetable is of greater importance to the market gardener than the Cabbage, 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 (he 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 exercise exceptional care in growing and selecting our Cabbage 

 seed. It is all high-bred American-grown, except such varieties as should be grown abroad to gel the best results, such as the Danish Ball Head. 



Culture. Soil for Cabbage 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 wintered, 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 by 3 feet, so as to work them with a horse and cultivator. 



Extra Early Cabbage 



25. "Big Winner" Wakefield. (Specialty, page 23.) 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 Cabbage. 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, however, 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. Large Pkts. 5c and 

 10c. H Oz. 35c. Oz. 65c. 2 Ozs. $1.10. H Lb. $2.00. Lb. $7.00. 



27. Extra Early Express. (Specialty, see page 23.) This, 

 the earliest of all Cabbage, has produced marketable heads in 80 

 days from the sowing of the seed. It can be planted close and 

 yields large, early paying crops. Pkt. 10c. J^ Oz. 35c. Oz. 60c. 

 2 Ozs. $1.00. M Lb. $1.85. l A Lb. $3.40. Lb. $6.50. 



26. New Leader. (Specialty, page 23.) As early as the 

 Wakefield, yields 12,000 heads, one-third more per acre than any 

 other extra early Cabbage. The outer leaves are so few and so 

 small that they can be planted very close. The heads are compact 

 and solid from the time a head is formed and keeps so until thor- 

 oughly matured, thus enabling extremely early cutting of small, 

 hard heads, or later when the Wakefield comes in, of large, thor- 

 oughly matured, solid, round, flat heads. Pkts. 5c and 10c. l /2 Oz. 

 35c. Oz. 60c. 2 Ozs. $1.00. M Lb. $1.85. V 2 Lb. $3.40. Lb. $6.50. 



28. Extra Early Jersey Wakefield. American Grown. 

 An excellent, early sort. Heads formed like a Wakefield, but ten 

 days earlier; habit vigorous, short stem and most profitable to 

 grow. Pkts. 5c and 10c. Oz. 60c. 2 Ozs. $1.00. Si Lb. $1.85. 

 Lb. $6.50. 



376. Eureka Cabbage. An extra early flat variety. Pkts. 

 5c and 10c. Oz. 60c. 34 Lb. $1.85. Lb. $6.50. 



29. Extra Early Pilot Cabbage. American Grown. 

 Three weeks earlier than the Jersey Wakefield. Pkts. 5c and 10c.

Bolgiano's Selected Jersey Wakefield Cabbage 



30. Early Jersey Wakefield Cabbage. Bolgiano's Se- 

 lected Stock. True Type. The most popular early Cabbage 

 with market gardeners all over the country. It is grown in vast 

 quantities for shipment to Northern cities. Unequaled for size, 

 solidity, earliness, uniformity and trueness, is the universal verdict 

 of Cabbage growers. Our Stock of Wakefield is the earliest in 

 cultivation. Every Cabbage grower should use our Wakefield. 

 Our seed is ordered by large Cabbage growers long in advance of 

 the time of sowing seed in order to secure our fine stock, which has 

 never failed to produce satisfactory crops. Our seed is used in all 

 the States where early Cabbage is grown. Pkts. 5c and 10c. 14 

 Oz. 35c. Oz. 60c. 2 Ozs. $1.00. M Lb. $1.85. Lb. $6.50. 



32. The Charleston or Large Wakefield. The Best 

 Large, Early Cabbage. This Cabbage has created a sensation 

 with the Cabbage growers all over the country on account of the 

 decided advantage it has over all other sorts. It can be the FIRST 

 variety SENT TO MARKET, and on account of its handsome 

 appearance will invariably bring the tip-top prices. If, however, 

 the early market prices are low, it can be safely left standing in the 

 field to mature to an extra large, compact, solid, magnificent 

 Cabbage, which has never failed to attract the admiration of the 

 most skilled gardeners, and always brings better prices than any 

 other sort harvested at the same time. Our stock is thoroughly 

 reliable. Pkts. 5c and 10c. Oz. 60c. % Lb. $1.85. Lb. $6.50. 



33. Early Large York. This is a very valuable, early 

 variety and follows the Express and Jersey Wakefield in heading. 

 The heads are round, heart-shaped and firm. Its dwarf growth 

 will permit them being planted closely together. Pkts. 5c and 

 10c. Oz. 50c. M Lb. $1.60. Y 2 Lb. $2.85. Lb. $5.50. 



34. Early Winnigstadt — The Prussian Prize Stock. 

 The popularity of Winnigstadt Cabbage in all sections of the 

 world is proverbial, but there is a great difference in the quality 

 of the stocks. Some will produce heads of twice the size of others ; 

 the finest is grown in Northern Prussia. It is from this section 

 that our famous stock was introduced a few years ago. It has 

 become very popular with our market gardeners. Pkts. 5c and 10c, 

 Oz. 50c. M Lb. $1.60. y 2 Lb. $2.85. Lb. $5.50. 



Quite a Success 



On July 8, 1918, Mr. S. T. Collins, of Northampton Co., Va., 

 wrote: "The Jersey Wakefield Cabbage ordered from you last season 

 was quite a success. II came up in perfectly healthy heads. I trans- 

 planted 20,000 heads and afterward cut 300 crates the first cutting, 

 36 to liO heads to the crate." 



Finest Cabbage I Ever Saw 



On August 1, 1918, A. C. Lawlon, of Turner Co., Ga., wrote: 

 "I raised the finest Cabbage I ever saw from the Charleston Wakefield 

 Seed I bought from you."
