CABBAGE 



One Ounce of Seed to 100 Feet of Row. 



EARLY CABBAGES. 



Cabbage will thrive on any good corn land, though the stronger the soil the 

 better they will develop. New land is preferable. Plow deep and manure very 

 liberally, aa cabbage is a strong feeder, and will repay for the care bestowed 

 upon it. The early sorts bear planting from eighteen inches to two feet apart 

 in the row.?, with the rows from two to two and a half feet apart. The larger 

 varieties to be from two to four feet apart in the rows, with the rows from two 

 and a half to four feet apart, the distance varying with the size. It does not 

 pay to buy cheap cabbage seed. Ours are American grown, and from the best 

 stock in the country. For early use, sow in a hotbed in February or March, 

 and transplant to a cold-frame as soon as large enough. In April the plants 

 may be set out in the rows. For late crop, sow in nursery bed in May or June, 

 and transplant as soon as the plants are five or six inches high. The ground 

 should be thoroughly cultivated every week until the plants meet in the rows. 



SELECT EARLY JERSEY WAKEFIELD 



American Grown. 



The very best early Cabbage, and grown more exten- 

 sively by market gardeners than any other variety. It 

 is early, the heads are pyramidal in shape, very large 

 and solid, and having but few outside leaves, the plants 

 can be set close together. We secured our seed from a 

 grower of the best Wakefield Cabbage in the country, 

 and it|is giving good results wherever it is used, so much 

 so that our sales of thiiji sort are rapidly increasing each 

 year. The demand for this sort has brought on the 

 market inferior stock at a low price; but when select 

 stock, such as we offer, is used it cannot fail to give satfs- 

 faction. Pkts., 5c. and lOo. Ox., 20c. ^ Lb., 60c.

CHARLESTON, OR LARGE WAKEFIELD 



American Grown. 



This is now a very popular market cabbage, fully 

 meeting the damand for a cabbage having all the char- 

 acteristics of the Jersey Wakefield, but larger. It is five 

 to six days later than Early Jersey Wakefield. The 

 heads are fully one-half larger and quite solid. It is 

 very compact in growth, and can be easily planted in 

 rows two feet apart and twenty inches in rows. One 

 great advantage is, it does not burst open when ripe, 

 like many other early sorts, and consequently can be 

 left standing on the ground a long while without injury 

 until a favorable opportunity for cutting. No market 

 or private gardener desiring a cabbage of this kind 

 should fail to plant this valuable sort.

_ COPENHAGEN MARKET A new round head, solid cabbage, recently 



introduced from Denmark. It is without doubt the finest large round-headed 

 early cabbage in cultivation. The type is thoroughly fixed and the heads ma- 

 ture uniformly, which enables the crop to be harvested at one time, so that 

 the ground can be cleared in two cuttings. 



It matures as early as the Charleston Wakefield, and will give a heavier yield 

 per acre. In an average season heads will weigh about 8 pounds or more each. 



The leaves are light green in color, tightly folded, which produces a short 

 stem plant. We consider it the finest flat-head variety for spring or summer. 

 Our seed comes from the originator direct.
