OUR GUARANTEE: 
We will refund the purchase price to any customer 
who is dissatisfied with results produced after crop 
is matured. A person wanting Extra Early Cabbage  =s5 
for home use or market can’t afford not to use these a 
plants. 
There are a number of islands along the Sea Coast of South Carolina and the Gulf Coast of Louisiana where 
the soil and climatic conditions are just suited for growing tough, hardy cabbage plants during the Winter and 
early Spring. The seed is planted in the open field. The plants make a slow but steady growth, until at eight 
to ten weeks of age they are very tough and hardy, the buds are purple and outer leaves a reddish brown. 
When in this condition they can be shipped to territory farther north and be planted in the open ground a month 
to six weeks sooner than the home-grown hot bed or cold frame plants. These FROST-PROOF CABBAGE 
PLANTS will stand a temperature 10 degrees above zero without injury, the land freezing, or the plants being 
covered with ice, sleet or snow after they are planted will not injure them. 
The top of the plant does not grow until your regular Spring weather opens up, but theroots grow from the 
time they are planted, and just as soon as Spring weather starts, the established root growth assimilates the 
fertilizer in the soil; the plants grow very fast, maturing headed Cabbage two to three weeks sooner than you 
can mature them from hot bed and cold frame plants. 
You know what the difference in profit will be if your crop is matured and marketed 
before the general crop from home-grown plants is matured, but to get this advantage Bol- 
giano’s Frost-Proof Cabbage Plants must be planted a month or six weeks earlier than you 
would plant home-grown Plants. 
Bolgiano’s Cabbage Plants are grown from the best Long Island grown seed and are shipped direct from 
our growing station in South Carolina or Louisiana by parcel post or express.. Wecan fill orders from December 
Ist to May Ist. 
The plants when received will be somewhat wilted and have a hard, stunted appearance, which will be 
disappointing to persons who have never used these plants before. Regardless of appearance, they will pro- 
duce the crop results. We guarantee good order delivery.
