Buckbee's "Full of Life" Cabbage Seed 



German. Kopfkohl; French, Chou-Pomme; Spanish, RepoUo; Swedish. Kal. One-half lb. of seed in beds. lo iran>plant. for an acre. 



One of the chief departments of my seed growing business consists of growing Cabbage for seed only. My stock has reached such a high 

 point of merit that it is a household word everywhere that "Buckbee's seed is the most reliable and produces more good, marketable heads per 

 acre than any offered." 



CHEAP L' ABB AGE SEED. 11 is the poorest irutnlmertt in the world; the failure can never bf knoii n unlU tin tntire $eatons labor and out- 

 lay are lost. My send is grown from SELEC TED HEAJJS and sai ed from center shootg. 



CABBAGE CULTURE — Plant seed H inch deep. The requisites for complete culture are: First, good seeds: there is no vegetable where 

 the seed has more influence on tlie quaUt.v of the product than in this. Second, rich, well prepared ground. Third, frequent and thorough culti- 

 vation. \ heavy. moi.st and rich loam is most suitable, which should he highly tnanured and worked deep. Cabbage is so universally grown all 

 over the country that specific directions regarding the time and methods of planting for all localities can not be given. In general', tlie early 

 sort should be sown very early in hot beds, hardened off by gradual exposing to the night air. and as early as the ground is in a good condition 

 transplanted, .setting eighteen to thirty-si.x inches apart, according to size of variety. The late varieties may be sown from the middle to the last 

 01" spring, and transplanted when tour to six inches high. Cabbage should be hoed every week, and the ground stirred as tliev advance in gro.vtli 

 drawing up a little earth to t he plant each time until they begin to head, when they should be tlioroughlv cultivated and left to mature. Loo.sen- 

 ing the roots will sometimes retard the bursting of full grown heads. 



ALL HEAD EARLY 



"Earliest of all large Cabbages, often coming 

 In before early .Summer. It is at least one-third 

 larger than this popular variety, and therefore 

 much more profitable to the market gardener, 

 who has in this \ ariety a Cabbage larger and at 

 the same time earlier — is also valuable for late 

 winter Cabbage, seed of the .A.ll-head sown in 

 July and plants set out about the middle of .\ug- 

 ust will bring heads large and solid, which are 

 sure to stand the winter well." Pkt. 4c.; oz.
