Cabbage requires deep, rich, mellow soil, high manuring 
and good culture to obtain fine, solid heads. For early use 
sow seeds of the early kinds in the hot-bed or in a box in 
the house the last of January or early in February, and 
transplant in the open ground in April, in rows 2 feet apart 
and 18 inches in the row; or sow a bed of seed outside as? 
soon as the soil can be worked. Transplant in about 4 
weeks. For second early cabbage, sow in April, and 
transplant in May. For late cabbage, sow in May, and trans- 
plant in July in rows 3 feet apart and 2 feet in the row. 
In transplanting it is important that plants be set down to 
the first leaf, so that the stem may not be injured in case 
of frost. Be careful not to cover the heart of the plant. 
Hoe every week and stir the earth deep. As they advance 
in growth draw a little earth to the plants until they begin 
to head. To prevent attacks of Cabbage Fly on small 
plants, dust thoroughly with plaster, air slacked lime or 
wood ashes. For Cabbage Worm try Slug Shot; (see Insect 
Destroyers in this Catalogue.) One ounce of seed produces about 
2,500 plants. Four ounces will grow enough plants to set an acre. 
Selected Jersey Wakefield—Many market gardeners consider this the very best early cabbage 
in cultivation. Certainly deserving of its great popularity. Grown extensively for market and ship-

age, and uniformity of crop. Pyramidal in shape, having a blunted or rounded peak. The sort

faction. Packet, 5c. Ounce, 20c. % pound, 50c. Pound, $75.
