Early Jersey Wakefield Cabbage. 
There are so many different kinds of cabbages that every- 
one can have just the kind they like. There are early cab- 
bages and late cabbages, round heads, flat heads, and 
pointed heads, green cabbages and red cabbages, smooth 
leaves and curled leaves. If you plan rightly you can have 
cabbage the year round with very little trouble. 
The first thing to be remembered is that cabbage re- 
quires rich, mellow and well drained soil, and plenty of 
moisture. 
Each section of the country has its own way of growing 
cabbage. In some sections the seed is planted late in the 
fall and the plants wintered over for early spring planting. 
In the west and middle west two methods are commonly 
followed. One is to sow the seeds in hotbeds very early 
in the spring. They are transplanted once when about four 
weeks old and set outside when weather permits. For late 
crops sow the seed in the garden about the end of May, thin 
them out and transplant to thoroughly prepared rows about 
the end of July. 
Cabbage is attacked by three classes of insects: Cut 
worms, plant lice or aphis and green cabbage worms. 
Cutworms can be controlled by means of paper collars and by poisoned bait; plant lice by nicotine 
solutions and Bug Death Aphis, cabbage worms by Bug Death, Slug Shot, Arsenate of Lead and Paris 
Green. Extreme care must be used in applying 
poisons. 
If heads begin to burst prematurely push them 
over to one side. This will break some of the roots 
and check the growth. Cabbage heads can be stored 
for winter use by putting them in cool dry cellars 
or by burying them in sand. If the heads are wet 
when gathered stand them unside down for a day 
or two to drain out all the water. . . 
One ounce of seed will produce about 2,000 plants. 
About 16,000 early or 8,000 late cabbage plants are 
set to the acre.

Early Pointed Head Varieties 
TRUE JERSEY WAKEFIELD, This is a most re- 
markable variety, particularly adapted to the wants 
of market gardeners. It heads evenly from the latter 
part of June to the beginning of July. It is erect in 
growth and has cone-shaped heads. Our stock is- of 
the true Long Island type, and is sure to give satis- 
faction. Pkt., 5c; oz.,*25c; % lb., 75c. 
EARLY WINNINGSTADT. A well-known and popu- 
lar early variety, but matures a little later than the 
Early Wakefield. The heads are large, solid, and hard, 
even in summer, decidedly conical, with bright glossy 
green leaves. This is a sure heading variety, valuable 
not only for early use, but also, for winter cabbage. 
It is a favorite with the krautmakers. Pkt., 5c; oz., 
25c; % lb., 75c. 
Second Early or Round Head Varieties 
THE GLORY CABBAGE. This cabbage was re- 
cently introduced from Holland. It combines earli- 
ness with good size, qualities which are both very 
desirable for market purposes. This is easily one 
of the best sellers on the market. Pkt., 5c; oz., 25c; 
% lb., 80c. 
Early Dwarf Flat Dutch Cabbage. 
Glory Cabbage. 
ALLHEAD EARLY. This is the earliest cabbage 
of the large early sorts and cannot be recommended 
too highly. It is larger than other varieties of its 
class and grows remarkably uniform. Pkt., 5c; oz., 
25c; M lb., 75c. 
EARLY SUMMER. This variety is about five days 
later than the Wakefield, being 
fully double the size. In weight 
it is equal to most of the late 
varieties, and its short outer 
leaves enable it to be planted 
nearly as close as the Wakefield.

its heat-resisting character. It
