CABBAGE 



GERMAN, KOPFKOHI^. 



One Ounce of Seed to 100 Yards of Row. 



liARIiV 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 ma- 

 nure very liberally, as 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 rows, 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 row.s. 

 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 

 extensively by market gardeners than any othei- 

 variety. It is early, the heads are pyramidal in shape, 

 very large and solid, and having but few outsidt- 

 leaves, the plants can be set close together. We 

 secured our seed from a grower of the best Wake- 

 field Cabbage in the country, and it is giving good 

 results wherever it is used, so much so that our 

 sales of this 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 satis- 

 faction. Pkts., 5o. and 10c. Oz., 20c. lib., 50c. 

 X.b. $1.75. 



Charleston, or Large Wakefield 



American Grown. 



This is now a very popular market cabbage, fully 

 meeting the demand for a cabbage having all the 

 characteristics of the Jersey Wakefield, but larger. 

 It is five to six days later than Early Jersey Wake- 

 field. 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 oppor- 

 tunity for cutting. No market or private gardener 

 desiring a cabbage of this kind should fail to plant 

 this valuable sort.

I.ARGB OR CHARIaBSTON WAKEFIBIiD. 



KING OP EABLIES.— Our own introduction; American grown. An extra early variety, fully a week ahead of all other vari- 

 eties in forming marketable heads; the lieads are tall and slim and of rather small size, formed like a Wakefield. Habit, vigor- 

 ous; short stem and proof against sun. Pkts., 5c. and 10c. Oz., 20c. 14 lb., 50c. lb., $1 75 



EXTRA EARIY EXPRESS.— Heads are comparatively thicker and less pointed than Jersey Wakefield and slightly earlier. 

 Head softer, but stands shipping better. Pkts., 5c. and 10c. Oz., 20c. H 3il>'» 50c. lb., $1.75. 



EARI.Y "WINNINGSTADT. — Head large, cone-shaped and solid. An old 

 and poinilar sort. Pkts., 5c. and 10c. Oz., 20c. ^4 50c. lib., $1.75.

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 mature 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 aboYit 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. 



Pkts., 5c. and 10c. Oz., 30c. ^ lb., 80c. lb., $3.00. Postpaid.
