CABBAGE 



Kopf Kohl (Ger.) Cavolo (Ital.) 



One ounce will produce about 3000 plants 



Seed sown in hotbed or greenhouse about 

 February 15 will give plants large enough to 

 transplant into hotbeds about March 10. Set 

 them 2 to 3 inches apart each way, and as soon 

 as they become well established, remove the 

 glass for part of the day, to harden them for 

 final transplanting into the open ground, in- 

 creasing the exposure daily until April 10 to 

 20, when the final transplanting may be made. 

 For late crops, sow the seed in April or May 

 and transplant to the open ground when large 

 enough, setting the plants up to the first leaf 

 and 2 to 3 feet apart. It is important that the 

 plants should not stand thick in the seed-beds, 

 as this would induce weak, slender growth. 

 The insects which molest them should be kept 

 in check with remedies which seem most effi- 

 cacious in the locality. (See Insecticides page 

 68). 



EARLY and SECOND- 

 EARLY VARIETIES 



EXTRA-EARLY JERSEY WAKEFIELD. One 



of the leading early Cabbages, equally popu- 

 lar for home use and market, maturing per- 

 fect heads in from 100 to 110 days from sow- 

 ing. The heads are of medium size, pyramidal and pointed, 

 firm and solid, with few outside leaves, remarkably uni- 

 form in size and time of maturing. Quality excellent. 



LARGE CHARLESTON WAKEFIELD. A selection from the 

 preceding, maturing about 10 days later. The heads are 

 considerably larger, oblong and pointed. 



EARLY ALLHEAD. The largest of the flat-headed, early 

 Cabbages. The heads are very solid, uniform in size and 

 maturity, and of excellent quality. A sure header, adapt- 

 able to many soils, equally good as a winter Cabbage. 



ALL SEASONS or Succession. A little later than Early All- 

 head. Heads larger and thicker; good for early and late 

 crop. A very satisfactory, all-round Cabbage. 



COPENHAGEN MARKET. The earliest of the round-headed 

 Cabbages. Copenhagen Market has within a few years be- 

 come immensely popular and is now more largely grown 

 than any other variety for early market. Within 110 days 

 from sowing it will mature fine, round, solid heads averag- 

 ing 8 to 10 pounds in weight, and will compare favorably 

 in yield per acre with any other variety, early or late. 

 Copenhagen Market does best on rich, moist bottom-lands. 



GOLDEN ACRE. In the amazingly short period of 80 days 

 from sowing, Golden Acre matures hard, round heads 

 uniform In size and growth, with few outer leaves. 



WISCONSIN YELLOW RESISTANT. An improved strain of 

 the all-seasons type has been carefully selected for re- 

 sistance to "the yellows." The flattened heads grow to 

 medium size and are very heavy. 



STEIN'S DWARF FLAT DUTCH. An excellent large early 

 flat variety producing solid heads that mature with early 

 summer, short stems with comparatively few outer leaves, 

 much earlier than the Late Flat Dutch type.

Enkhuizen Glory Cabbage 



),,,-„ /^1_„, Following closely after Copenhagen 

 cnKiiuizen vjiory. Market, this variety combines earli- 

 ness, size and quality in a remarkable degree. In size 

 and shape it closely resembles the Copenhagen Market 

 and stands second only to that variety in yield. It does 

 particularly well on moist clay upland soils and, on ac- 

 count of its greater adaptability, it is very satisfactory for 

 home gardens. "We recommend Enkhuizen Glory as one of 

 the best all-around early Cabbages. 



MAIN-CROP AND LATE VARIETIES 



PENN STATE BALLHEAD. Is probably the heaviest 



yielding Cabbage in existence. Will outyield the average 

 strain of Danish Ballhead by from 8 to 10 tons per acre 

 under favorable conditions. Tested records show a produc- 

 tion of 26 tons per acre. 



SUREHEAD. An extra-select strain of the Late Flat Dutch 

 type, producing big, solid heads, very uniform in shape 

 and size, and of splendid keeping quality. The most re- 

 liable late Cabbage for the home garden. 



LARGE LATE FLAT DUTCH. An excellent keeping variety; 

 more extensively grown for main crops than any other 

 sort. The heads are heavy, broad and flat, very solid and 

 of good quality. 



SHORT-STEM DANISH BALLHEAD or Roundhead. Dwarf- 

 growing and a little earlier but otherwise similar to the 

 tall-stemmed type. This variety is a big cropper, with 

 large, heavy heads, withstanding severe drought. 



SAVOY and RED VARIETIES 



PERFECTION DRUMHEAD SAVOY. The best all-round va- 

 riety for American conditions. Good-sized, solid heads, 

 with attractively curled and savoyed deep green leaves. 

 In flavor It surpasses all other Cabbages and the flavor 

 is improved by freezing. The heads may be left standing 

 in the garden all winter until wanted for the table. 



MAMMOTH ROCK RED. A very select strain with large, 

 solid, somewhat flattened heads. The favorite Cabbage 

 for pickling. 



RED DANISH STONEHEAD. Heads perfectly round and ex- 

 tremely solid; large in size; deep purplish red, showing 

 but slight traces of white. 



CHINESE or CELERY CABBAGE 



CHIHLI. Earliest and most sure head of the Chinese variety, 

 plants of upright growth, very broad leaves and white 

 cylindrical heads 2 feet in length and of superior quality. 



WONG BOK. A distinct variety of more compact growth and 

 broader heads. This is a very reliable sort for both home 

 and market-gardens, since it is a sure header, even under 

 contrary conditions, and stands long before sending up 

 seed-stalks. Crisp and tender, with a piquant flavor.
