BECKERT SEED AND BLXB COMPANY 



RELIABLE CABBAGES 



One ounce will produce 3,000 plants 



To grow good Cabbage a fairly rich soil and plenty of moisture are re- 

 quired. Apph- plenty of manure or other fertilizer high in humus and 

 nitrogen. 



For the early crop, start the seed in a hotbed or seed flat indoors in 

 January or February-, transplanting to another bed or flat when the 

 second pair of leaves appear, hardening the plants off by exposing them 

 more and more as the weather becomes warmer, and setting them out 

 in the garden as soon as frosts are past. For second early crop, sow in 

 March or April and set out in May; for late crop, sow in ]\Iay and trans- 

 plant in July. Set Cabbage in rows lYo to 3 feet apart and space the 

 plants 13^ to 2 feet in the rows. Cultivate frequently. 



Insecticide Soaps and Slug Shot are good remedies for Cabbage pests.
