J. STECKLER SEED CO., LTD., ALMANAC AND 



most people are willing to give to raise cabbage plants during the months of 

 July and August. We have found, by careful observation, that plants raised in 

 August are the surest to head here. The 'most successful gardeners in raising 

 cabbage plants sow the seeds thinly in seed beds, and water several times during 

 the day; in fact the seed bed is never allowed to get dry from the sowing of 

 the seed till large enough ito transplant. There is no danger in doing this of 

 scalding the plants, as many would suppose; but on the contrary the plants 

 thrive well, and so treated will be less liable to be attacked by cabbage flies, as 

 they are too often disturbed during the day. Tobacco dust scattered on the 

 plants and in the walks between the beds, is a sure preventive against insects. 



Siteckler's New Money Making. 



Steckler's New Money Making. Has 



never been known to fail since its in- 

 troduction by us in 1902 and cannot be 

 equalled as a positive cropper by any 

 variety known on the market to date. 

 The extreme and varying conditions of 

 the climate have oniy heightened the 

 popularity of this Cabbage as a money- 

 maker; this is evidenced by the many 

 testimonials received from those who 

 have planted it. There are many 

 reasons why this -cabbage supersedes all 

 other varieties; viz, it a sure header, 

 every planJt makes a head in size and 

 solidity surpassed by none; it keeps 

 longer than any other variety, grows 

 bigger and better the longer it remains 

 in the field — does not rot or burst. 



Jersey Wakefield. Very popular; is of 

 medium size and heads up v/ell. 



Frotscher's Superior Large Late Flat 



Dutch. This is the most popular variety 

 for winter cabbage, and cultivaited by al- 

 most every gardener who plants fOT the 

 New Orleans market. Heads are large 

 and solid, often weighing from 15 to 25 

 pounds. In regard to the time of plant- 

 ing, see remarks under the head of "Cab- 

 bage" in the directions for planting for 

 July. We have tried se3d of the Flat 

 Dutch from different growers, but have 

 found none yet to equal the stock which 

 is raised for us by contract. 



Early York. An early variety, grown 

 here mostly for family use. Highly re- 

 commended. 



Large York. About two or three weeks 

 later than ithe above, forming hard heads 

 not grown for the market. Recommended 

 for family use.
