FROST PROOF CABBAGE PLANTS 



READY FOR IMMEDIATE DELIVERY 



WILL DOUBLE YOUR PROFITS 



Mature Heads Two to Three Weeks Earlier Than Your Home-Grown Plants 



Whether you wish to reduce 

 the High Cost of Living by in- 

 creasing the production of your 

 home garden, or whether you 

 desii'e to command the high 

 prices that come to those who 

 noarket their truck crops before 

 tlie season opens, you can 

 hardly afford to do without our 

 FROST-PROOF CABBAGE 

 PLANTS. You may not be 

 familiar with these plants, and 

 for this reason we will tell you 

 why our claim of Frost-Proof 

 is well founded. 



In the famous Sea Island Cot- 

 ton growing region of South 

 Carolina there is found a soil and climatic con- 

 ditions just suited for growing tough hardy cab- 

 bage plants during the Winter and early Spring. 

 Here the plants develop slowly but steadily until 

 they are ready for shipment 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. After being planted, these 

 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 ma- 

 tured and marketed before the 

 general crop from home plants 

 is matured; but. 

 To get the advantage of these Frost-Proof Cab- 

 bage 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 Express. We can fill orders from 

 December 1 to May 1. 



The plants when received 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 this, they 

 will produce the crop results. We guarantee good 

 order delivery on parcel post shipments. We do 

 not guarantee delivery on shipments by express. 

 They are made at the purchaser's risk.

COLLARDS 



A great many people look 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 boiling 

 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. 



211. Southern or Georgia. Tliis variety is the old- 

 time favorite. Stands all sorts of adverse conditions with- 

 out injury. It is very hardy, standing winters as far north 

 as Atlanta. In many places where the soil is too poor to 

 grow cabbage, the collard grows easily and noakes a good 

 substitute for cabbage. Pkt. 5 cts.; oz. 10 cts.; 14 lb. 20 cts.; 

 lb. 60 cts.
