CABBAGE 



CABBAGE DOES BEST ON A WELL 

 MANURED SOIL 



Seed sown in hotbed or greenhouse about Febru- 

 ary 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, increasing the exposure daily until April 10 to 

 20, whenthe final transplanting may be made. For 

 late crops, sow the seed in April or May and trans- 

 plant 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 effica- 

 cious in the locality. There is a tendency to club-root 

 if Cabbage is grown on the same ground year after 

 year. An ounce of seed will produce about 2,000 plants. 



EARLY and SECOND- 

 EARLY VARIETIES 



EXTRA-EARLY JERSEY WAKEFIELD. One 



of the leading early Cabbages, equally popular for 

 home use and market, maturing perfect heads in 

 from 1 00 to 110 days from sowing. The heads 

 are of medium size, pyramidal and pointed, firm and solid. / < 

 few outside leaves, remarkably uniform in size and time of matur- 

 ing. Quality excellent. Pkt. 10 cts., oz. 35 cts., M lb. $1.10. 



LARGE CHARLESTON WAKEFIELD. A selection from the 

 preceding, maturing about 10 days later. The heads are consider- 

 ably larger, oblong and pointed. Pkt. 10 cts., oz. 35 cts., lb. 

 $1.10. 



EXPRESS. Earlier than Wakefield, heads small but very solid, very 

 few outer leaves allowing close planting. Pkt. 10 cts., oz. 35 cts., 

 lb. $1.10. 



WlNNINGSTADT. A splendid second early, pointed variety. 

 The heads are of medium size, sharply pointed and very hard. 

 Winningstadt is considered by many to be the finest flavored 

 cabbage in cultivation: largely grown for kraut. Pkt. 10 cts., 

 oz. 35 cts., % lb. $1.10. 



COPENHAGEN MARKET. The earliest of the round-headed 

 Cabbages. Copenhagen Market has within a few years become 

 immensely popular and is now more largely grown than any other 

 variety for early market. Within 1 1 days from sowing it will 

 mature fine, round, solid heads averaging 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. Pkt. 10 cts., oz. 60 cts., % lb. $1.75. 



Golden Acre. In the amazingly short period of 80 days from sow- 

 ing. Golden Acre matures hard, round heads uniform in size and 

 growth, with few outer leaves. Pkt. 20 cts., oz. 60 cts., \i lb. 

 $2.00. 



Surehead. The best late Cabbage for home use. 



Enkhi 



Head of Enkhuizen Glory Cabbage 



WISCONSIN YELLOW RESISTANT. An improved strain of the 

 all-seasons type has been carefully selected for resistance to "the 

 yellows." The flattended heads grow to medium size and are 

 very heavy. Pkt. 15 cts., 75 cts., \i lb. $2.25. 



I 11 17 on flnrv Following closely after Copenhagen 

 Ul&Cll \J10iy. 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 account of its greater adaptability, it is even 

 more satisfactory than Copenhagen Market for home gardens. We 

 recommend Enkhuizen Glory as the best all-around early Cabbage. 

 Pkt. 10 cts., oz. 35 cts., U lb. $1.00. 



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, adaptable to many soils, equally 

 good as a winter Cabbage. Pkt. 10 cts., oz. 35 cts., J£ lb. $1.00. 



SUCCESSION or All Seasons. A little later than Early Allhead. 

 Heads larger and thicker; good for early and late crop. A very 

 satisfactory, all-round Cabbage. Pkt. 10 cts., oz. 35 cts., 14, lb. 

 $1.00. 



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. Pkt. 10 cts., oz. 35 cts., }4 lb. $1.00. 



MAIN-CROP AND LATE 

 VARIETIES 



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

 splendid keeping quality. The most reliable late Cabbage for the 

 home garden. Pkt. 10 cts., oz. 35 cts., M lb. $1.10.

 more extensively grown for main crops than any other sort. The
