CULTURE.— For very early use sow in January or February in hot-beds; prielc out when plants are 

 strong enough into other hot-beds; or sow in cold fr ames in March, transplant to the open ground when 

 danger from killing frosts is past, in rows 2 feet apart and 18 inches in row. For succession, sow in open 

 ground the last of March or early in April. The autumn and winter varieties sow in April or early in May, 

 in shallow drills, 3 or 4 inches apart; transplant early in July, in rows 2V2 feet apart and 2 feet in the row. 

 Cabbage succeeds best in a fresh, rich soil, well-manured and deeply dug or plowed. The late plants are 

 subject to the 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-slaked lime, plaster, slug-shot, or tobacco dust early 

 in the morning while the plants are wet with dew. 



If there is one thing more than another in the vegetable world that should have the greatest 

 possible care in the growing of the seed crops, it is the Cabbage, Of late years many gardeners 

 and truckers have depended on this crop almost entirely; and, realizing this fact, I am making a 

 great specialty of the varieties I offer. My Cabbage Seed's are grown by an old cabbage grower 

 on Long Island, New York, who has had many years experience in this special work — in truth, 

 cabbage seed growing has been his life work. 



In short, my Cabbage Seed is the very best that can be grown, raised only from the center 

 shoots, and are from carefully selected heads. There are none more reliable and none that can be 

 more implicitly depended upon. /

Thorough grown stock. Pro- 

 nounced by our leading truck- 

 ers and market gardeners as 

 the best stock of Early Wake- 

 field Cabbage on the market.

 ly grown variety for fall and 

 early spring planting. It has

 peaks, is solid, uniform and 

 compact growing. Has small

 the larger varieties. My seed

 one of the most successful 

 Long Island growers, and has 

 no superior for quality or ear- 

 liness. Packet, 5 cts.; oz., 15

 of an early, long-keeping cab- 

 bage. Packet, 5 cts.; oz., 15
