 CABBAGE PLANTS THEY MUST BE PLANTED A MONTH 

 OR SIX WEEKS EARLIER THAN YOU WOULD PLANT 

 HOME-GROWN PLANTS. 



WE FILL ORDERS FROM DECEMBER 1st TO MAY 1st. 



There are a number of islands along the Sea Coast of South 

 Carolina, Where the soil and climatic conditions are just suited for 

 growing tough, hardy cabbage plants during the Winter and early 

 Spring. The plants make a slow but steady growth, until at eight 

 to ten weeks of age they are very tough and hardy, the buds are 

 purple and the outer leaves a reddish brown. When in this condition they can be shipped to territory farther north and be planted 

 in the open ground a month to six weeks earlier than the home-grown hot bed or cold frame plants. The FROST PROOF CAB- 

 BAGE PLANTS will stand a temperature of 20 degrees above zero without injury. The land freezing, or the plants being covered 

 with ice, sleet or snow after they are planted will not injure them. The roots grow from time they are planted, and just as soon 

 as Spring weather starts, the established root growth assimilates the fertilizer in the soil, the plants grow very fast, maturing 

 headed cabbage two to three weeks sooner than you can mature them from hot bed and cold frame plants. 



The plants when received will be somewhat wilted and have a hard stunted appearance, which will be disappointing to per- 

 sons who have never used these plants before. Regardless of appearance, they will produce the crop results.

Bolgiano's Early Jersey Wakefield Cabbage 



Culture. Earl3' Cabbage requires a rich, warm, loam 

 soU, well drained ; and the soil for the late Cabbage should 

 bCTBeavier and more retentive of moisture and not so rich as 

 for early crops, as the heads are liable to burst. 



To have Cabbage real early, sow seed in hotbed in Feb- 

 ruary, or still better. Winter over the crops in a cold frame. 

 For this purpose the seed is sown from the tenth to the 

 twentieth of September. From four or five weeks from the 

 time of sowing they will be fit to transplant into the cold 

 frames. It is very important that the plants be set down to 

 the first leaves so that the stem is all under the ground, 

 otherr/ise the stem would split by the action of the frost. 



These early Cabbage plants are set out in March or April, 

 in rows three feet apart and IS inches between the plants. The 

 early crop matures in June. For second early crop, sow- seed 

 first week in April and plant out in May. The crop matures 

 in July and August. Late Cabbage for Fall and Winter use, 

 sow seed in May to June. The plants are set in July, a dis- 

 tance of three feet between the rows and two feet between 

 the plants. This crop matures in October. Cabbage should 

 not be planted two years in succession in the same spot of the 

 garden. One ounce of seed will produce 3000 plants.
