There are a number of 
islands along the Sea Coast 
of South Carolina, where the 
soil and climatic conditions 
are just suited for growing 
tough, hardy cabbage plants 
during the Winter and early 
Spring. The plants make a 
slow but steady growth,, "until 
at eight to ten weeks of age 
they are very tough and 
hardy, the buds are purple and 
the outer leaves a reddish 
brown. When in this condi- 
tion they can be shipped to 
territory farther north and be 
planted in the open ground a 
month to six weeks sooner 
than home-grown hot bed or 
ccld frame plants. These 
FROST-PROOF CABBAGE 
PLANTS will stand a temper- 
ature of 20 degrees above 
zero without injury. The land 
freezing, or the plants being, covered with ice, sleet 
or snow after they are planted will not injure them, 
providing temperature does not go below 20 degrees 
below freezing. 
The top of the plant does not grow until your regu- 
lar Spring Weather opens up, but the roots grow from 
the time they are planted, and just as soon as spring' 
weather starts, the established root growth assimi- 
lates the fertilizer in the soil, the plants grow very 
fast, maturing headed" cabbage two to four weeks 
sooner than you can mature them from hot bed or 
cold frame plants. You know what the difference in 
profit will be if your crop is matured and marketed 
before the general crop from home grown plants is 
matured. 
In order to get the benefit of the advantages of 
planting these Frost-Proof Plants you must plant 
them early, at least a month earlier than you would 
plant your home grown plants.

THE ANNUAL WHIT 
Hubam Clover was introduced in 1915 by Prof. 
Hughes of the Iowa Experiment Station and it has 
become immensely popular in some sections. Being 
an annual it makes it's growth and produces a seed 
crop in one season. Some growers report that it 
made a growth of seven to nine feet in three an. 1 , 
a half months. 
Reports from several states show that Hubam is 
drought resistant to a remarkable degree. One 
grower reported that without irrigation and with less 
than one inch of rainfall after seeding it grew to a 
height of seven feet and showed no ill effects of the 
drought. 
It does in one season what other clovers do in two. 
It adds nitrogen and humus to the soil, makes splen- 
did summer and fall pasture, is a rich hay crop and 
a wonderful honey producing plant. 
It is splendid for sowing as a fertilizing crop after 
oats or in wheat. It will make in one season suffi- 
cient growth to add a great deal of fertility to the 
Soil. : 
When sowing in cultivated rows use from three to 
four pounds and when broadcast about twelve pounds 
to the acre. Early seeding is recommended as the 
young plants are quite hardy. Hubam should be 
sown On a perfectly firm seed bed with a. surface 
mulch of loose soil/ Never sow Hubam on a freshly 
plowed seed bed. When the ground is clean because 
of a previously cultivated crop the seed bed should be 
prepared by surface cultivation only. 
Price per pound, 40c. For prices in larger quanti- 
ties please see the Pink List.
