 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, Copenhagen 

 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 J 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 of as soon as the soil can be 

 put in good condition outdoors, sow seeds of the same varieties together with some summer sorts like All Seasons, Early Summer, Sue> 

 cession, etc. This planting will provide Cabbage from middle of July until late ih 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 poiBons. 



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.; i 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.; | oz., 

 20 cts.; oz., 35 cts.; \ lb., $1.00. 

 198 Dreer's Early Drumhead. Produces a good 

 large, round head following Charleston Wakefield. 

 A variety that stands summer heat well. Pkt., 

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

 202 Glory of Enkhulzen. A very popular large round short

Copenhagen Market Cabbage 



Early Varieties of Special Merit 



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

 \ oa., 80 cts.; oz., $1.50; \ lb., $4.00. 



191 Charleston, or Large Wakefield. A week or ten 

 days later but much larger than Early Jersey Wakefield and 

 with all of the fine qualities of the latter. An excellent large 

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



193 Copenhagen Market. This can be depended 

 upon for making large solid heads at an early sea- 

 son. 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 garden, thereby producing a 

 larger number of heads to a given area, a feature 

 which is very important. Pkt., 10 cts.; \ oz., 

 35 cts.; oz., 60 cts.; \ lb., $1.75. ~, 



206 Early Jersey Wakefield. Although the round 

 headed sorts are becoming increasingly popular, 

 this old standard sort still continues to be the favor- 

 ite 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 appear- 

 ance and flavor when cooked. Pkt. 10 cts.; \ oz., 

 25 cts.: oz., 40 cts.; J lb., $1.25. 



208 Small Extra Early Jersey Wakefield. The 



earliest strain of the type, perfecting shapely nar- 

 row pointed heads, averaging 5 lbs. each within 90 

 days after seeds are sown. Of compact growth and 

 heads very solid. Pkt., 10 cts.; J oz., 30 cts.; 

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