VEGETABLE SEEDS 



Decker t's Seed Store, 101 and 103 Federal St., N. S., Pittsburgh, Pa. 



CABBAGE 



Seed sown in hotbed or greenhouse about February IS will 

 give plants large enough to transplant into hotbeds about 

 March 10. Set t Ik in 2 to 3 inches apart each way, and as soon 

 as they become well established, remove the glass for part of 

 the das, to harden them for final transplanting into the open 

 ground, increasing t he exposure daily until April 10 to 20, when 

 tin- 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 

 plants. 1 he insects which molest them should be kepi in 

 check with remedies which seem most ellicacious in the locality. 

 There is a tendency to club-root if Cabbage is grown on the 

 same ground year after year. 



Copenhagen Market 



This splendid sort from Denmark has, within a period of 

 ten years, reached a greater popularity than any other variety 

 on record. It compares favorably in many respects with 

 Enkhuizen Glory, but is, perhaps, of slightly finer texture. 

 Copenhagen Market prefers sections offering an abun- 

 dance of moisture. It does particularly well through- 

 out the eastern part of this country and along river- 

 bottoms. Heads weighing 8 to 10 pounds may be cut 

 within 100 days after seed is sown. Pkt. 10 cts., 

 y 2 oz. 35 cts., oz. 60 cts., Vilb. $2. 



Enkhuizen Glory 



We have closely studied this remarkable extra-early 

 sort for more than ten years, and we have yet to find a 

 person who has anything but praise for it. Combines earliness, size, 

 and quality in an extraordinary degree. Within 110 days after seed 

 is sown, you may go out into your garden and cut fine heads, 10 to 

 12 inches in diameter, weighing 8 to 10 pounds each. Enkhuizen 

 Glory makes a very compact growth, so that, planted from 18 to 

 20 inches apart in the row, on rich soil, it will outyield every other 

 extra-early sort except Copenhagen Market described above. It does 

 particularly well on the cool, moist clay upland of Pennsylvania and 

 New York states. Our stock of this sort comes from its originator in 

 Holland and will please the most particular. Pkt. 10 cts., l/2oz.30cts., 

 oz. 50 cts., Vilb. $1.75.

Extra-Early Jersey Wakefield Cabbage 



EXTRA-EARLY ROUND-HEADED SORTS 



Eureka First-Early. This is the only Cabbage we know of that 

 forms heads before Early Jersey Wakefield. Within the almost in- 

 credible time of 95 days we have known this variety to perfect heads 

 of the Extra-Early Flat Dutch type, and these heads would not only 

 be heavier but also harder than Jersey Wakefield of a like age. Eureka 

 First Early is bound to win many friends. It combines excellent table 

 qualities with an exceedingly small rib and fine grain and is assured 

 a welcome reception where quality is first consideration. Pkt. 10 cts.,
