 Vi pound should plant an acre 

 Prices include postage on pkts., ozs., 

 Vilbs., and lbs. 



Cabbage is especially valuable for its 

 vitamin C. 



Culture. Cabbage does best in fresh, 

 rich, well-manured soil deeply prepared. For 

 very early use sow in January or February 

 in hotbeds, transplanting to other hotbeds 

 when ready, or sow in coldframes in March. 

 Transplant, when frost-danger has passed, 

 to open ground, 1J^ to 2 feet apart in the row. 



Later crops can be sown outside from late 

 March until early May, in drills from trans- 

 planting, or better, sow in the field-rows, 

 thinning out instead of transplanting. Days 

 listed are from setting of plants.

Frostproof Cabbage Plants 



WILL DOUBLE YOUR PROFITS 



Ready for Immediate Delivery 



Matures Heads Two to Three Weeks Earlier 



Than Your Home-grown Plants 



Our plants are grown in the South where 

 are found soil and climatic conditions just 

 suited for growing tough, hardy Cabbage 

 plants during the winter and early spring. 

 Here the plants develop steadily until they 

 are ready for shipment at 8 to 10 weeks of 

 age. They are then very tough and hardy 

 and can be planted in the open ground a 

 month to six weeks sooner than the more 

 delicate hotbed or coldframe plants. 



When spring comes the plants grow very 

 fast, maturing headed Cabbage 2 to 3 

 weeks sooner than from hotbed or coldframe 

 plants. Think what the difference in profit 

 will be if your crop is matured and marketed 

 before the general crop from home plants 

 is matured!
