Bolgiano’s Frost-Proof Plants 
Will Mature Heads Two to Three Weeks Earlier Than Your Home Grown Plants and Double 
Your Profits 
TO GET THE ADVANTAGE OF THESE FROST-PROOF CABBAGE PLANTS THEY MUST BE PLANTED A MONTH 
OR SIX WEEKS EARLIER THAN YOU WOULD PLANT HOME-GROWN PLANTS 
| WE FILL ORDERS FROM DECEMBER 1ST TO MAY 1ST | 
There are a number of islands along the Sea Coast of South Carolina, where the soil and climatic conditions are just suited 
for growing tough, hardy cabbage plants during the Winter and early Spring. The plants make a slow but steady growth, until at 
eight to ten weeks of age they are very tough and hardy, the buds are purple and the outer leaves a reddish brown. When in 
this condition they can be shipped to territory farther north and be planted in the open ground a month to six weeks earlier 
than the home-grown hot bed or cold frame plants. The FROST PROOF CABBAGE PLANTS will stand a temperature of 
20 degrees above zero without injury. The land freezing, or the plants being covered with ice, sleet or snow after they are 
planted will not injure them. The roots grow from time they are planted, and just as soon as Spring weather starts, the estab- 
lished root growth assimilates the fertilizer in the soil, the plants grow very fast, maturing headed cabbage two to three weeks 
sooner than you can mature them from hot bed and cold frame plants. 
The plants when received will be somewhat wilted and have a hard stunted appearance, which will be disappointing to per- 
sons who have never used these plants before. Regardless of appearance, they will produce the crop results.

Culture. Early Cabbage requires a rich, warm, loam 
soil, well drained; and the soil for the late Cabbage should 
be heavier and more retentive of moisture and not so rich as 
for early crops, as the heads are liable to burst. 
To have Cabbage real early, sow seed in hotbed in Feb- 
ruary, or still better, Winter over the crops in a cold frame. 
For this purpose the seed is sown from the tenth to the 
twentieth of September. From four or five weeks from the 
time of sowing they will be fit to transplant into the cold 
frames. It is very important that. the plants be set down to 
the first leaves so that the stem is all under the ground, 
otherwise the stem would split by the action of the frost. 
These early Cabbage plants are set out in March or April, 
in rows three feet apart and 18 inches between the plants. The 
early crop matures in June., For second early crop, sow «seed 
first week in April and plant,out in May. The crop matures 
in July and August. Late Cabbage for Fall and Winter.use, 
sow seed in May to June.* The plants are set in July, a dis- 
tance of three feet between thé rows and two feet. between 
the plants. This crop matures;.in October. Cabbage should 
not be planted two years in succession in the same spot of the 
garden. One ounce of seed will produce 3000 plants. . 2
