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 23 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 good condition outdoors, sow seeds of the same varieties together with some summer sorts like All Seasons, Early Summer, Suc- 
cession, 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. 
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 a week to 10 days 
earlier than our No. 206. Of compact growth and 
heads very solid. Pkt., 10 cts.; 4 oz., 30 cts.; 
oz., 50 cts.; + lb., $1.50. 
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.; 
4 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.; $ oz., 
20 cts.; oz., 35 cts.; ¢ lb., $1.00. 
198 Dreer’s Barly Drumhead. Produces a good 
large, round head following Charleston Wakefield. 
A variety that stands summer heat well. Pkt., 
10 cts.; 3 oz., 20 cts.; oz., 35 cts.; % Ib., $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.; 4 oz., 20 cts.; oz., 35 cts.; £ Ib., $1.00. 
Early Varieties of Special Merit 
204 Golden Acre (See Specialties, page 4). Pkt., 20 
cts.; 4 oz., 80 cts.; 0z., $1.50; 1 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. Pkt., 10  cts.; 4.0z., 25 cts.; oz., 40 cts:; 
+ Ib., $1.25. 
193 Copenhagen Market. 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 im- 
portant. Pkt., 10 cts.; 4 oz., 35 cts.; oz., 60 cts.; 
zlb:, 1275. 
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.; 4 0z., 
25 cts.; oz., 40 cts.; + lb., $1.25.
