Mature Heads Two to Three Weeks Earlier Than Your 

 Home-Grown Plants 



In the famous Sea Island Cotton growing region of South Carolina 

 there is found a soil and climatic conditions just suited for growing- 

 tough hardy cabbage plants during the Winter and early Spring. Here 

 the plants develop slowly but steadily until they are ready for ship- 

 ment at eight to ten weeks of age, having developed at this time purple 

 buds and reddish brown outer leaves. They are then very tough and 

 hardy, and can be shipped north for long distances where they may be 

 planted in the open ground a month to six weeks sooner than the more 

 delicate hot-bed or cold-frame plants. 



FROST-PROOF CABBAGE PLANTS will stand a temperature of 

 20 degrees above zero, the land freezing, or being covered with ice, 

 sleet or snow, without injury. 



Although the roots grow from the time they are planted, the tops 

 of the plants do not start until regular Spring weather opens up, at 

 which time the established root growth takes up the fertilizer in the soil and the 

 plants grow very fast, maturing headed cabbage two to three weeks sooner than 

 you can mature them from hot-bed or 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 plants is matured; but, 



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 in South Carolina by Parcel Post or Ex- 

 press. We can fill orders from December 1 to May 1. 



The plants when received will be somewhat wilted and have a hard stunted appear- 

 ance, which will be disappointing to persons who have never used these plants 

 before. Regardless of this, they will produce the crop. results. We guarantee good 

 order delivery on parcel post shipments.

COLLARDS 



A great many people looked upon the lowly collard, or "Geor- 

 gia Cabbage," as some jokingly refer to it, as something not 

 worth while growing. Now there are thousands of collard 

 patches scattered over the South, and most Southern people 

 like them. The collard is an old-time favorite, adapted to all 

 parts of the South, and as a producer of "greens" for boiLLng 

 in Winter and Spring it has no equal. It will pay you to have 

 a collard patch just to give your cows an occasional taste of 

 "green stuff." Sow any time up to September 1st.
