CULTURE— One of the few vegetables that American home gardeners may enjoy the year around and here is a program whereby 

 to obtain a well balanced supply of firm heads of high quality. Toward end of February, sow seeds of either Jersey Wakefield, Copen- 

 hagen Market, or any other early variety, transplanting the seedlings into flats four inches apart each way as soon as they become large 

 enough to be handled. Harden these by gradually giving them more air each day and set into rows 2\ feet apart with the plants about 

 2 feet apart in the row; cultivate freely and water regularly if the natural rainfall proves deficient. About April 1st or as soon as the 

 soil can be put in gotd condition outdoors, sow seeds of the same varieties together with some summer sorts like All Seasons, Early 

 Summer, Succession, etc. This planting will provide Cabbage from middle of July until late in the fall. About middle of May, sow seeds 

 of late winter keeping varieties like Danish Ballhead, Dreer's Select Flat Dutch, and others, thinning out the plants to stand 4 inches 

 apart in the row as soon as they are large enough to be handled. By July 1st, set these plants in rows 3 feet apart with the plants 

 2 feet apart in the row, cultivating and watering regularly. Should the white cabbage bug prove troublesome, sprinkle with slug shot, 

 tobacco dust or Whale Oil Soap solution, in short, any safe remedy not containing arsenic or other poisons. 



For Second-early and Main 

 Crop , 



185 All Head Early. The leading second early sort, 

 large, uniform, very solid, and plants are of com- 

 pact growth. It may also be planted late for fall 

 and winter use, as it is a good keeper for a 110 day 

 variety. A good kraut cabbage. Pkt., 10 cts.; 

 | oz., 20 cts.; oz., 30 cts.; | lb., $1.00. 



187 All-Seasons, Selected (Vandergaw). A mid- 

 season Drumhead with heads of the largest size 

 and as its name implies can be planted either for 

 early or late crop. A remarkably good keeper for 

 a so early maturing variety. Pkt., 10 cts.; J oz., 

 20 cts.; oz., 35 cts.; i lb., SI .00. 



198 Dreer's Early Drumhead. Produces a good 

 large, round head following Charleston Wakefield. 

 A variety that stands summer heat well. Pkt., 

 10 cts.; i oz., 20 cts.; oz., 35 cts.; i lb., $1.00. 



214 Early Summer. A reliable second early, which 

 matures about ten days after All Head Early. It 

 makes a medium size, solid, flat head, with short 

 outer leaves, which admit of close planting in the 

 field, and is a good keeper. One of the best we offer. 

 Pkt., lOcts.; Joz., 20cts.;oz., 35 cts.; | lb., §1.00.

Early Varieties of Special Merit 



204 Golden Acre. (See Specialties, page 5.) Pkt., 20 cts.; 

 \ oz., 50 cts.; oz., 75 cts.; i lb., $2.00. 



193 Copenhagen Market. This excellent variety can be 

 depended upon for making large solid heads at an early 

 season. The heads are grown upon a remarkably short 

 stem, are solid and large in size, weighing 10 to 12 pounds, 

 with light green leaves and of good quality. It is the largest 

 of the early round-headed varieties, and its habit of growth 

 allows of its being planted close together in the field or gar- 

 den, thereby producing a larger number of heads to a given 

 area, a feature which is very important in growing this 

 vegetable. Pkt., 10 cts.; \ oz., 35 cts.; oz., 60 cts.; \ lb., 

 $1.75. 



191 Charleston, or Large Wakefield. A week or ten 

 days later but much larger than Early Jersey Wakefield 

 and has all of the fine qualities of the latter. An excellent 

 large early. Pkt., 10 cts.; § oz., 25 cts.; oz., 40 cts.; i lb., 

 $1.25. 



206 Early Jersey Wakefield. Although the round headed 

 sorts offered above are becoming increasingly popular, this 

 old standard sort still has a host of friends, and continues 

 to be the favorite with the majority of our customers. 

 Thus we are extremely careful of our stock of this, and have 

 confidence that our seed will produce early, solid pointed 

 heads of splendid uniformity. Neither quality nor fine 

 texture are lacking, leaves having very small midribs, 

 which improve both appearance and flavor when cooked. 

 Pkt., 10 cts.; \ oz., 25 cts.; oz., 40 cts.; \ lb., $1.25. 



208 Small Extra Early Jersey Wakefield. The earliest 

 strain of the type, perfecting shapely narrow pointed heads, 

 averaging 5 lbs. each within 90 days after seeds are sown. 

 Of compact growth and heads very solid. Pkt., 10 cts.; 

 \ oz., 30 cts.; oz., 50 cts.; i lb., $1.50.
