A f^w simple rules for planting and growing naay help many to success where failure has heretofore been the result. 

 Don't have the soil in the seed-bed as rich as the field to which the Cabbage is transplanted, or the plants will be starved 

 after ti-ansplantation. 



Don't seed too thickly, or force the growth too rapidly, or the plants will grow too tall, slim and tender, and the growth 

 be more seriously checked by adverse conditions. 



lioot deeply to resist drought. When setting out, plant up to the first leaf-stems. 

 Supply plenty of moisture and manure, 



Don't sow the seed for a whole crop at one time, for plants of different age are differehtly=a€ected by adverse circumstances 

 and by division a planter will have a better chance to profit, at least from a part of his crop. , 



The black rot at the root of Cabbage is a bacterial growth scientifically designated as Pseudomonas campestris. It 

 affects Cabbage, Turnip, Kohl Rabi, Kale, in fact any of the Cabbage forms. Once the growth has appeared upon a field 

 it is thereafter for many years vain to attempt to grow another crop on the same field unless it be radically treated, as 

 for example with twenty bushels caustic lime to the acre and six bushels of common salt, a dose so heavy as almost to 

 unfit it for cropping for a year. 



As a safeguard against the spread of infec- 

 tion, we recommend that seed beds every year 

 be placed in a new location. 



SIX FIRST EARLY 

 VARIETIES. 



Landreths' Earliest Pointed 

 Cabbage, 65 days.— ^ Hon 



from Select Jersey Wakefield, in which oc- 

 curred some plants extraordinarily early, 

 and out of them this is a selection. Of 

 course these very early plants do not produce 

 heads so large as if developed over a longer 

 period, but they are very choice in quality 

 and attractive in appearance. Grown on 

 Bloomsdale Farm with the special object of 

 fixing a specially early habit. Quite two 

 weeks earlier than the usual strain of Early 

 Select Jersey Wakefield. 65 days.
