MAY 15TM, APTEB WHICH DOMESTIC OB HOME GROWN PLANTS 



SHOULD BE PLANTED. THESE CAN BE OBTAINED AT ALL 



SEASONS. SEE LIST ON INSIDE BACK COVER. 



Early Flat Dutch. 



A sure header, weig^hing- from 10 to 12 

 pounds, of even size and solid. They ma- 

 ture about as early as Succession, and 

 stand long- without bursting. This is one 

 of the best of the second early kinds. 



Succession. 



A second early — about two weeks later 

 than Wakefield. The color is light green; 

 the heads are solid, are good keeping and 

 are of excellent quality. A favorite with 

 market grardeners. 



Early Jersey Wakefield. 



This is the hardiest and hardest head- 

 ing of the extra early sorts, and most 

 Northern gardeners depend upon it for 

 their first crop. The outer leaves are un- 

 usually tliick and heavy, 



Charleston Wakefield. 



This sort forms uniform solid heads, 

 considerably larger than the Early Wake- 

 field and matures only a few days later. 

 On clay ground it will mature just as early. 

 Largely planted by gardeners in the South. 



There are a number of islands along the Louisiana Gulf Coast 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 further 

 north and be planted in the open ground a month to six weeks sooner than the home- 

 grown hotbed or cold frame plants could be planted. These Prost-Proof Cablbagfe Plants 

 will stand a temperature of 8 to 10 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 top of the plant does not grow until your regular spring weather opens up, but 

 the roots grow from the time they are planted, and just as soon as spring weather starts, 

 the established root growth assimilates the fertilizer in the soil, the plants grow very 

 fast, maturing headed ca„bbage ten days to three weeks sooner than you can mature them 

 from hotbed and cold frame plants. You know what the difference in profit will be if 

 your crop is matured and marketed before the general crop from home-g-rown plants 

 is matured. 



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. 



Our cabbage plants are grown from the best Long Island grown seed and are shipped 

 direct from our growing station by parcel post or express. We can fill orders from 

 December 1st to May 15th. Sometimes due to weather conditions, especially if a rainy 

 week, orders for Cabbage Plants will be delayed until such time as the plants are suffi- 

 ciently dried out as we do not pack wet plants. 



The plants will be somewhat wilted and have a hard, stunted appearance, which will 

 be disappointing to persons who have never used these plants before. Regardless of 

 appearance, they will produce the crop results. We gfuarantee g'ood order delivery. You 

 have all to grain; nothing* to lose.
