CABBAGE 
Fr. CHOU 
Sow one ounce for 2000 to 3000 
plants, four ounces for 
one acre 
CULTURE— For plants of the 
earliest sorts sow seed in January 
or February under glass, and prick 
out in flats or frames about 2 inches 
apart each way. Transplant to 
open ground as soon in spring as the 
land can be properly prepared. A 
rich, warm, fibrous loam is best. 
Have the plants in the rows 20 to 
24 inches apart, and rows at least 
2 feet apart. Give thorough culti- 
vation, and irrigate in dry weather 
if practicable. Protect against the 
ravages of cutworm, maggot and 
green worm . A little nitrate of 
soda applied around the plant is of 
great benefit. Potash applications, 
such as wood ashes or muriate, 
may also do much good. For late 
Cabbage plants, sow seed in drills 
in open ground during April and 
May. and transplant in June, giv- 
ing the plants more room than 
allowed for earliest Cabbages. 
Dusting with tobacco dust, insect 
powder, etc., or splashing with hot 
soapsuds, especially Whale Oil Soap 
solution, are good and safe remedies 
for some of the insect pests attack- 
ing plants of the Cabbage. 
•COPENHAGEN MARKET" CABBAGE 
FIRST EARLY VARIETIES 
COPENHAGEN MARKET 
This new variety from Denmark will soon command the attention of those 
who grow for early market as well as the private growers who desire an extra early, 
roundheaded Cabbage which 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 10 to 12 pounds, light green leaves, and of excellent 
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 field or garden, and it 
matures so uniformly that the entire crop is ready for cutting at one time. M ^b. 
$3.00; oz. $1.00; pkt. 10c. 
SELECT EARLY JERSEY WAKEFIELD 
The Best First-Early Pointed-Head Cabbage. 
The heads are uniformly hard and solid. They are pyramidal in form, gener- 
ally pointed at the end, with but few outside leaves. The outer leaves are un- 
usually thick and heavy, and it is thereby enabled to stand much cold weather with- 
out mjury. Quality is excellent. M lb- $2.00; oz. 70c.; pkt. 10c. 
EARLY WINNINGSTADT 
The heads are of the same size as the "Jersey Wakefield," but more sharply 
pointed in form and not so early. The leaves are rich dark green, slightly glossy, 
most tightly folded, the heads being the hardest of any early cabbage. By reason 
of its great solidity it is also a popular variety to plant in the summer for winter 
use. }i lb. $2,00.; oz. 70c.; pkt. 10c, 
EXTRA EARLY EXPRESS 
Produces hard oval heads of good size, with round thick leaves. Even earlier 
than Jersey Wakefield. Also sold under a number of other fancy names. 34 lb. 
$2.00; oz. 70c.; pkt. 10c. 
EARLY PARIS MARKET or STANDARD— Of about the same earUness as 
Jersey Wakefield, but its head is not quite so high and is rounder and broader 
at the base. A most popular French market sort. This variety received 
Award of Merit R. H. S. (Oxheart Type). H >b. $2.50; oz. 80c.; pkt. 10c. 
EARLY SPRING 
The only Extra-Early Round Flat-Headed Cabbage. 
Heads are remarkably uniform, and very solid even when young. Particularly 
valuable on account of its being a first-early flat Cabbage: many people preferring 
this type to the pointed heads. No variety has a more solid head, and as the stem 
is short, almost the whole plant is edible. Fine texture and delicate flavor. ^ lb. 
$2.50; oz. 80c.; pkt. 10c. 
SECOND EARLY VARIETIES 
ENKHUIZEN GLORY 
A most valuable second-early Cabbage that is becoming immensely popular 
It produces fine marketable heads, round or ball-like in form. The heads are very 
solid, with but few outer leaves — and of such compact growth as to permit quite 
close planting, thus increasing the yield of a given area. The heads are of medium 
size (weighing from six to eight pounds trimmed), tender and of fine flavor. They 
keep well when put away and consequently " Enkhuizen Glory" is valuable also 
for sowing later in the season for early winter use. Plants set out in mid-summer 
will produce fine heads before cold weather. ^ lb. $2.50; oz. 80c.; pkt. 10c. 
HENDERSON'S EARLY SUMMER 
Matures about ten days after Jersey Wakefield, and makes a large, solid, 
flattish head, with short stem. Color of a bluish tinge and quality excellent. It 
is an excellent variety both for home use and market. }4 lb. $2.00; oz. 70c.; 
pkt. lOc. 
BONSECOURS MARKET— Stem is short, head large, flat and very solid, 
bluish-green. )4 lb. $3.00; oz. $1.00; pkt. 10c. 
Dark, 
ALL-SEASONS 
One of the earliest of the second early sorts. Head large, round, often nearly 
spherical, but usually somewhat flattened; very solid and of the best quality, 
keeping as well as the winter sorts. Remarkable for its ability to stand the hot 
sun and dry weather. ^ lb. $2.00; oz. 70c.; pkt. 10c.
