WILL DOUBLE YOUR PROFITS 



Whether you wish to reduce the High 

 i osl of Living by increasing the produc- 

 tion nt your home garden, or whether 

 you desire to command the high prices 

 that come to those who market their 

 truck crops before the season opens, you 

 can hardly afford to do without our 

 I ROST PROOF CABBAGE PLANTv 

 You may not be familiar with these 

 plants, and for this reason we will tell 

 you "hv our claim of Frost Proof is well 

 founded. 



In the famous Sea Island Cotton grow- 

 ing 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 the) are read) 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 

 PI A\ I S will stan i 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 or 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.
