Frost Proof Cabbage Plants 



WILL DOUBLE YOUR PROFITS 

 Ready for Immediate Delivery 



Mature Heads Two to Three Weeks Earlier Than 



Your Home-Grown Plants 



Our plants are grown in the South where 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 shipment at 8 to 10 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 temper- 

 ature 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 vnll 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 

 by Parcel Post or Express. We can fill orders from De- 

 cember 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. Re- 

 gardless of this, they will produce the crop results. We 

 guarantee good order delivery on Parcel Post shipments.
