1 oz. for 2,000 plants; }£ 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 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.

bages. Mcst gardeners depend upon it for the bulk of their extra 

 early crop. Its exceeding hardiness, not only to resist cold, but 

 other unfavorable conditions, insures the greatest likelihood of 

 profitable and satisfactory results. Our stock is grown and se- 

 lected with the greatest 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, uniformlv pointed and of excellent 

 quality. Pkt., 10c; oz., 25c; H lb., 75c; lb., $2.25.

 American grower. It is nearly as early as Jersey Wakefield, 

 being the earliest large round head variety in cultivation.

& there arc very few outer leaves, the stems are short and the 



heads very compact. Pkt., 10c; oz.,25c; 3-f lb., 75c;
