 CULTURE— One of the few vegetables that American home gardeners may enjoy the year around and here is a program whereby 

 to obtain a well balanced supply of firm heads of high quality. Toward end of February, sow seeds of either Jersey Wakefield, Copen- 

 hagen Market, or any other early variety, transplanting the seedlings into flats four inches apart each way as soon as they become large 

 enough to be handled. Harden these by gradually giving them more air each day and set into rows 2\ feet apart with the plants about 

 2 feet apart in the row; cultivate freely and water regularly if the natural rainfall proves deficient. About April 1st or as soon as the 

 soil can be put in good condition outdoors, sow seeds of the same varieties together with some summer sorts like All Seasons, Early 

 Summer, Succession, etc. This planting will provide Cabbage from middle of July until late in the fall. About middle of May, sow seeds 

 of late winter keeping varieties like Danish Ballhead, Dreer's Select Flat Dutch, and others, thinning out the plants to stand 4 inches 

 apart in the row as soon as they are large enough to be handled. By July 1st, set these plants in rows 3 feet apart with the plants 2 feet 

 apart in the row, cultivating and watering regularly. Should the white cabbage bug prove troublesome, sprinkle with slug shot, tobacco 

 dust or Whale Oil Soap solution, in short, any safe remedy not containing arsenic or other poisons.

 206 Early Jersey Wakefield. Although the 

 round headed sorts offered above are becoming 

 increasingly popular, this old standard sort still 

 has a host of friends. Thus we are extremely 

 careful of our stock of this, and have confidence 

 that our seed will produce early, solid pointed 

 heads of splendid uniformity. Neither quality 

 nor fine texture are lacking, leaves having very 

 small midribs, which improve both appearance 

 and flavor when cooked. Pkt., 10 cts.; $ oz., 

 25 cts.; oz., 40 cts.; £ lb., $1.25. 

 208 Small Extra Early Jersey Wakefield. 

 The earliest strain of the type, perfecting shape- 

 ly narrow pointed heads, averaging 5 lbs. each 

 within 90 days after seeds are sown. Of com- 

 pact growth and heads very solid. Pkt., 10 cts.; 

 \ oz., 40 cts.; oz., 75 cts.; J lb., $2.00. 



Copenhagen Market Cabbage 



Early Varieties of Special Merit 



191 Charleston, or Large Wakefield. A week later but 

 much larger than Early Jersey Wakefield and has all of the 

 fine qualities of the latter. An excellent large early. Pkt., 10 

 cts.; | oz., 25 cts.; oz., 40 cts.; \ lb., $1.25. 



193 Copenhagen Market. This excellent variety can be 

 depended upon for making large solid heads at an early 

 season. The heads are grown upon a remarkably short 

 stem, are solid and large in size, weighing 7 to 10 pounds, 

 with light green leaves and of good quality. It is the largest 

 of the early round-headed varieties, and its habit of growth 

 allows of its being planted close together in the garden. Pkt., 

 10 cts.; % oz., 35 cts.; oz., 60 cts.; i lbs., $1.75. 



All Head Early Cabbage 



Early Jersey Wakefield Cabbage 



Second-early and Main Crop 



185 All head Early. The leading second early sort, large, uniform, very solid, 

 and plants are of compact growth. It may also be planted late for fall and 

 winter use, as it is a good keeper for a 1 10 day variety. A good kraut cabbage. 

 Pkt., 10 cts.; J oz., 25 cts.; oz., 40 cts.; | lb., $1.00. 



187 All-Seasons Selected (Vandergaw). A mid-season Drumhead with heads 

 of the largest size and as its name implies can be planted either for early or 

 late crop. A remarkably good keeper. Pkt., 10 cts.; \ oz., 20 cts.; oz., 35 

 cts.; \ lb., $1.00. 



198 Dreer's Early Drumhead. Produces a good large, round head following 

 Charleston Wakefield. A variety that stands summer heat well. Pkt., 

 10 cts.; J oz., 20 cts.; oz., 35 cts.; \ lb., $1.00.

 after All Head Early. It makes a medium size, solid, flat head, with short 

 outer leaves, which admit of close planting, and is a good keeper. Pkt., 10 

 cts.; | oz., 20 cts.; oz., 35 cts.; \ lb., $1.00.
