Cabbage. 



German, Kopf kobl. 



(One Ounce of Seed to 100 Yards of Row. 

 Cabbage will thrive on any good corn land, though the 

 stronger the soil the better they wil I develop. w land 

 is preferable. Plow deep and manure very liberally, as 

 cabbage is a strong feeder and will repay for the care 



bestowed upon it. The early sorts bear planting from 

 eighteen inches to two feet apart in the rows, with the 

 rows from two to two and a half feet apart. The larger 

 varieties to be from two to four feet apart in the rows, 

 with the rows from two and a half to four feet apart, the 

 distance varying with the size. It does not pay to buy 

 cheap Cabbage seed. Ours is American grown, and from 

 the best stock in the country. 



For early use, sow in a hot-bed February or March, and 

 transplant to a cold-frame as soon as large enough. In 

 April the plants may be set out in the rows. For late 

 crop sow in nursery bed May or June, and transplant as 

 soon as the plants are five or six inches high. The 

 ground should be thoroughly cultivated every week 

 until the plants meet in the rows.

Ali=Head Early Cabbage. 



This is the earliesto/ all large Oabbages,being at 

 least a week earlier "than any of the various 

 strains of Early Summer Cabbage. 



It is fully one-third larger than the Early 

 Summer, and therefore much more profitable to 

 the Market Gardener. 



The All-Head Early is unquestionably the 

 nearest approach to a tlioi-onglxbred Cabbage 

 of any variety yet introduced, both as regards 

 size and uniformity of development. The deep 

 flat heads are remarkably solid and uniform in 

 color as well as in shape and size. 



Tenderness is the result of rapid growth- and as 

 the All- Head Early comes in quicker than any 

 of the other flat Cabbages, it is consequently 

 more tender. 



While All- Head Early is all that can be de- 

 sired for earliness, it isialso valuable for a late or 

 Winter Cabbage. 



By reason of the compact habit of growth of the 

 All-Head Early and absence of loose leaves, 

 fully one thousand more heads can be obtained 

 to the acre than of most other varieties of good 

 size.
