CULTURE. — Soil for Cabbage should be rich and heavy loam, with good drainage. On such a soil, with an abundance 

 of stable manure, excellent crops are sure to be grown. For early spring, sow in fall, not too early, or the plants are liable 

 to bolt in the spring instead of heading. In a month the plants will be fit to transplant to coldframes, where they are win- 

 tered, taking care in planting to set the young plants down to the first leaves. Transplant in spring, as soon as the ground 

 can be worked, setting the plants 2 feet apart one way and from 12 to 18 inches the other, according to the variety. If it 

 is desirable to economize space, lettuce or radish may be sown between the rows, as they will be out of the way before the 

 Cabbage needs the room. For late or winter crops, the seed is sown in May and the plants' set out in -July. In this case they 

 are set in rows 2x3 feet, so as to work them with a horse and cultivator. To prevent the turnip-flea from attacking the 

 young plants, sift the air-slacked lime or tobacco-dust over them as soon as they appear above ground., 



ALL-SEASONS. — Heads very deep; 

 can be planted for early or Jate crop,

 standing in the field some time with- 

 out damage. Pkt., 5c; oz., 20c; ',4 lb.,

 its place. It forms large, flat, round, solid heads, weighing 

 usually 8 to 10 lbs. each. The quality is excellent, tender and 

 sweet. It comes in about ten days later than Early Jersey 

 Wakefield, but is more than double in weight. Pkt., 5c;

SWISS CHARD 



The City Man s Garden 



SWISS CHARD (The City Man's Garden).— Also called "Cut and 

 Come Again" Spinach. This vegetable gives maximum returns for little 

 care and space; it yields a constant crop from July to Winter. The 

 leaves are used for greens the same as Spinach or beet tops; they are 

 equal in quality and easier to prepare than spinach, and far superior to 

 beets. Sow early in Spring, in rows 16 inches apart, and thin out to 6 

 inches apart in the rows. It can be used all Summer when spinach is 

 not available. Later the leaves grow very large, with broad, flat, pure 

 white stems, and mid-ribs, which may be cooked like Asparagus or made 

 into very good pickles. As it grows, thin out for use and keep clear of 

 weeds. Good cultivation increases the tenderness of the leaves. 



LUCULLUS SWISS CHARD.— A new Moss Curled sort. Very large 

 leaves. The mid-ribs are very broad and form a good substitute for 

 asparagus during the Summer months. Pkt., 10c; oz., 15c; % lb., 35c; 

 1 lb., $1.00.

GREEN CURLED SAVOY, 80 DAYS. — This is undoubtedly 

 the finest type of Winter Cabbage. After having been frosted 

 it boils like marrow, and is not surpassed even by the Cauli- 

 flower in its best condition. The strain is not to be confound- 

 ed with low-priced imported seeds. It is a shy producer of 

 seed, and consequently never plentiful. Pkt., 5c; oz., 20c; 

 i , lb., 50c; lb., $1.50. 



RICE'S SUREHEAD. — All head and always sure to head; 

 this very popular variety is rightly named Surehead, because 

 it never fails to form a good solid head, even on poor soil, 

 but the richer the soil the larger and finer the head; it is 

 the finest late Cabbage in this country, and best for market. 

 Heads the list for winter use. Pkt., 5c; oz., 20c; Vi lb.. 50c;
