4 F. W. BOLGIANO & CO., 
CABBAGE *S EiExm) 
CULTURE OF CABBAGE.—One ounce will produce 
about 2,500 plants; quantity to transnlant for one acre, one- 
quarter pound.—For very early use sow in January or Feb- 
ruary in hotbeds; put out when the plants are strong enough 
into other hotbeds, or sow in cold frames in March; trans- 
plant, when danger from killing frosts is past, to the open 
ground, in rqws two feet apart and eighteen inches in the 
row. For a succession, sow in the open ground the last 
or March or early in April. The autumn and winter va- 
rieties sow in April or early in May in shallow drills, three 
or four inches apart; transplant early in July in rows two and 
one-half feet apart and two feet in the row. Cabbage suc- 
ceeds best in a fresh, rich soil, well manured, and deeply 
dug or plowed. ‘The late plants are subject to attacks of the 
cabbage fly, which destroys them as fast as they appear 
above ground. ‘To preserve the plants, sprinkle them with 
wood ashes, air-slack lime, plaster, slug-shot, or tobacco dust 
early in the morning while the plants are wet with dew. 
SWEENEY’S JERSEY WAKEFIELD CAB- 
BAGE. An extra early selection from the im- 
proved Jersey Wakefield. This is sure to be one 
of the leading cabbages in the South and around 
Washington. Full description on second page. 
Packets, 5 and ro cents; ounce, 25 cents; %4 pound, 
75 cents; pound, $2.50. 
NEW LARGE CHARLESTON WAKEFIELD 
CABBAGE. ‘True American grown. It is about 
five days later than Early Jersey Wakefield; the 
heads are fully one-half larger and quite solid. It 
is very compact in growth and can easily be 
planted in rows two feet apart and twenty inches 
in the rows. One great advantage is that 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. Packets, 5 and 
To cents; ounce, I5 cents; 2 ounces, 25 cents; 4 
pound, 4o cents; pound, $1.25. 
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. Packets, 5 and 10 cents; 
ounce, 15 cents; 14 pound, 40 cents; pound, $1.25.

BOLGIANO’S NEW EARLY CABBAGE. ‘True American grown. ‘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 any other sort. Its 
earliness is one of its remarkable 
features. ‘This Cabbage is said to 
be warm-proof by leading growers.

cents; 1% lb., 40 cents; pound, $1.25. 
NEW EARLY SPRING CAB- 
BAGE. Its great value is that it 
is a first early flat Cabbage. Of the 
early summer type, not quite so 
large, grows condensed, the few 
outside leaves, short stem, solid 
growth, and being very productive, 
makes it very desirable for market, 
garden and home culture. Packets, 
5 and 10 cents; ounce, 20 cents; 4 
pound, 60 cents; pound, $2.00.

bage is grown. Packets, 5 and 10
