STANDARD \\\RIETIES OF VEGETABLES 



Globe. This is very sweet and fine-flavored, 

 and comes to perfection during the latter 

 part of summer. It is a good keeper, and a 

 quantity of it should be stored in the cellar 

 for winter use. 



Sow seeds in rows sixteen to eighteen 

 inches apart. Sow thickly, and use the sur- 

 plus plants as greens while young and tender, 

 making use of 'both top and root. Thin to 

 three or four inches apart. 



Cabbage 



Unless the garden is of considerable size 

 I would not advise planting this vegetable, 

 because it takes up so much room that might 

 better be given to other kinds which the 

 housewife will find more useful. The plants 

 should stand at least two feet apart. Seed 

 can be put into the ground about the first of 

 May, or plants can be started in the hotbed 

 if wanted for very early use. Seedlings can 

 be transplanted as soon as they have made 

 their second leaf. 



For a very earh' variety I would advise 

 Jersey Wakefield. For late use Late Drum- 

 head or Stone Alason Alarblehead — both ex- 

 cellent in all respects, and fine for winter use. 



Care must be taken to prevent insects
