CABBAGE 



Prices Include Postage on Pkts., Ozs., |4 Lbs. and Lbs. 



One ounce of seed produces about 2,500 plants. Four ounces 

 will grow enough plants to set an acre. 



CULTURE. For very early use sow in January or February 

 In hotbeds; put out when the plants are strong enough into other 

 hotbeds, or sow in cold frames in March; transplant, when danger 

 from killing frost is past, to open ground in rows 2 feet apart 

 and 18 inches in the row. For a succession sow in the open 

 ground the last of Marcli or early in April. The autumn and 

 winter varieties sow in April or early in May, in shallow drills, 

 3 or 4 inches apart; transplant early in July in rows 2% feet 

 apart and 2 feet in the row. Cabbage succeeds best in fresh, 

 rich soil, well manured and deeply dug or plowed. 



Extra Early Varieties 



80. Select Jersey Wakefield. Heads pointed at top, 

 and plants produce but few outside leaves. Our seed has 

 been most carefully selected. Pkt. 5 and 10 cts.; oz. 25 cts.; 

 >/4 lb. 75 cents.; lb. $2.50. 



A105. Big Winner Wakefield. No other cabbage of 

 which we have knowledge has aroused such enthusiasm 

 among cabbage growers as has our "Big Winner." It ha.s 

 the same general characteristics of other Wakefield Cab- 

 bages, the head being conical with a rounded or blunt point. 

 It is, however, far superior to other strains of Wakefield Cab- 

 bage, being nearly double the size and better quality, and 

 at the same time is fully as early. It has few outer leaves, 

 permitting close plantings. Pkt. 5 and 10 cts.; oz. 25 cts.; 

 '/4 lb. 80 cts.; lb. $2,75. 



105. Large Charleston Wakefield. True Long Island 

 grown. About 5 to 10 days later than Early Jersey Wake- 

 field; the heads are fully one-half larger and can easily be 

 planted 20 inches in the rows. Pkt. 5 and 10 cts.; oz. 25 

 cts.; Yi lb. 75 cts.; lb. $2,50. 



A80. Bolgiano's Early Large York. This is a very 

 valuable early variety, and follows the Express in heading. 

 The heads are round, heart-shaped, and very firm. Pkt. 5 

 and 10 cts.; oz. 25 cts.; V4 lb. 75 cts,; lb. $2.50. 



Extra Early Express. This, the earliest of all cab- 

 bages, has produced marketable heads in 80 days from the 

 .sowing of the seed. It can be planted close and yields large, 

 early, paying crops. Pkt. 5 and 10 cts.; oz. 25 cts.; 14 lb. 

 80 cts.; lb. $2.75. 



A223. New Leader. As early as Wakefield, yields 

 12,000 heads, one-third more per acre than any other extra 

 early cabbage. Heads are compact and solid from the time 

 a head is formed and keeps so until thoroughly matured, thus 

 enabling extremely early cutting of small, hard heads, or 

 later when the Wakefield comes in, of large, thoroughly ma- 

 tured, solid, round, flat heads, Pkt, 5 and 10 cts.; oz, 25 cts.; 

 \'i lb. 80 cts.; lb, $2,75.

New Early Cabbage 



Select Jersey Wakefield Cabbage. 



213, Early Winnigstadt. A standard second-early va- 

 riety; very hard heads. Pkt. 5 and 10 cts.; oz. 25 cts.; V4 lb. 

 7S cts.; lb, $2.50. 



Early Varieties 



A117, Bolgiano's Early "Square Deal." For a fine, 



— solid t e n- 



der, uniform, early, flat cabbage, Bolgiano's "New Square 

 Deal" Cabbage challenges all other types. The demand for 

 a cabbage of this character led us, by the most rigid and 

 careful selection during the past five years, to mature this 

 cabbage, which we are confident will give all our friends 

 and customers a "Square Deal" every time. Pkt. 5 and 

 10 cts.; oz. 25 cts.; '4 lb, 85 cts,; lb, $3,00, 



210. Copenhagen Market. Undoubtedly the finest, 

 large, round-headed early Cabbage. The heads average 

 about 10 pounds each in weight, are very solid and of fine 

 quality. It matures as early as Charleston Wakefield, and 

 will give a heavier yield per acre than that well-known 

 variety. The plant is short-stemmed, the leaves always 

 tightly folded. Pkt. 5 and 10 cts.; oz, 25 cts,; V^ lb. 85 

 cts,; lb. $3.00, 



223. AUhead Early, This famous Cabbage is consider- 

 ably larger than Early Summer Cabbage that is equally as 

 early. The deep flat heads are remarkably solid and the 

 most uniform in color, form and size. The hard heads grow 

 so free from spreading leaves that fully one thousand more 

 heads than usual with large Cabbage can be obtained to 

 the acre. It is really an all-the-year-round Cabbage, being 

 equally good for winter if seed is sown about August. Pkt. 

 5 and 10 cts,; oz, 25 cts,; I/4 lb. 75 cts,; lb. $2.50. 



160. Bolgiano's Early Flat Dutch. The heads are 

 large and solid. Pkt. 5 and 10 cts.; oz. 25 cts.; f4 lb. 75 cts.; 

 lb. $2.50, 



C21. Enkhuizen's Glory. This Cabbage from Holland 

 is a good early sort making fine, large, tender and fine 

 grainetl heads. Pkt. 5 and 10 cts.; oz. 25 cts.; !4 lb, 85 cts.; 

 lb. $3.00. 



117. Bolgiano's Ne w Ea rly. (SPECIALTY, see p. 



7.) This is the finest, 



large, very early cabbage. Forms solid, compact heads, and 

 the leaves grow close to the head, thus allowing many more 

 cabbages to be grown on the acre than other sort. Its earli- 

 ness is one of its remarkable features. Pkt. 5 and 10 cts.; 

 oz. 25 cts.; '4 lb. 80 cts.; lb. $2.75. 



115. Succession. True American grown. Matures ten 

 days later than Early Summer and is larger in growth. Pkt. 

 5 and 10 cts.; oz. 25 cts.; '/^ lb. 75 cts.; lb. $2.50,
