Early Varieties 



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, conical head, and a dependable 

 cropper. Pkt. 10c; \ oz. 25c; oz. 40c; 

 | lb. $1.25. 



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. They are solid and large, weighing 

 7 to 10 pounds each, 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.

Jersey Wakefield, Selected Early Cabbage 



206 Jersey Wakefield, Selected Early. 



Disregarding the tendency toward the 

 round heading sorts, this special strain of 

 Jersey Wakefield is still as popular today as 

 ever. We are extremely careful of our 

 stock of this and have full confidence that 

 our strain will produce early, solid, pointed 

 heads of splendid uniformity. Neither 

 quality nor fine texture have been sacrificed 

 for appearance. The small mid-ribs 

 improve their attractiveness and flavor 

 when cooked. Pkt. 10c; § oz. 25c; oz. 40c; 

 J lb. $1.25.

Culture — Cabbage may be enjoyed all the year round. To accomplish 

 this, sow seed of the early varieties toward the end of February. Transplant 

 into flats 4 inches apart each way as they become large enough to be handled. 

 Harden gradually giving 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 

 during the dry weather. When the soil outdoors can be put in good condition 

 for sowing, which will be about April 1, a second sowing of the second-early or 

 main crop varieties like All-Season, Early Summer, or Succession is made outdoor: 

 to provide Cabbage from the middle of July until late in the fall. For winter stor 

 ing sow about middle of April seeds of the late winter sorts. By July 1, these 

 plants should be ready to be set in rows 3 feet apart with 2 feet between the 

 plants. Protect all Cabbage against bugs using Slug Shot, Tobacco Dust, or 

 Whale Oil Soap. See page 213 for these and other remedies.
