WALTER S. SCHELL'S QUALITY SEEDS FOR MARKET-GARDENERS 
CABBAGE 
HOW TO GROW CABBAGE.— To get the earliest 
possible crops, sow the seed of the early varieties under 
glass (greenhouse or hotbeds) in February in beds or 
low boxes ("flats" we call them) about 18 inches square 
and 4 inches deep. Sow the seed in rows about 3 inches 
apart; when plants are 2 '/2 or 3 inches high, thin them 
out so they will stand 2 mches apart in the rows. As 
soon as the ground outside can be worked properly, set 
out the plants in rows 2 feet apart and the plants about 
18 inches apart in the rows. Nitrate of soda is good to 
give the plants a good start; apply it around but not 
against the plants. If the season is dry, water the plants 
freely — Cabbage is about 80 per cent water. For the 
late Cabbage, sow the seed outside in rows in May; 
transplant in July. Keep dusting them through the 
season with "Slug-Shot," which is not harmful to 
people but kills the Cabbage worms and prevents the 
eggs from hatching. For Cabbage lice (mostly found on 
underside of leaf) spray them (the lice) with "Black- 
Leaf 40." It kills them and is harmless to the Cabbage. 
(We have it.) One ounce of seed will sow a row of 300 
feet and make about 2,500 plants; 4 ounces to the acre. 
EXTRA-EARLY VARIETIES 
Schell's New "Harrisburg" Extra- 
Early Cabbage 
I want every market-gardener, everj' farmer, 
every home-gardener, to grow this splendid Cab- 
bage. It is very early, forming its hard, heavy, round 
heads in 75 days from sowing the seed. You can grow 
150 heads of Harrisburg Cabbage on the same space re- 
quired for 100 heads of other varieties, because the plants 
of Harrisburg are very compact with few outside leaves 
and these keep close to the head so that you can set the 
plants 12 inches apart instead of 18 inches as required 
for other sorts. Harrisburg has a distinctively rich Cab- 
bage taste and its fine texture, together witli its extreme 
earliness, make it, in my estimation, a very valuable 
extra-earlv round-head Cabbage. I recommend it 
highly. Pkt. 10 cts., Vioz. 20 cts., Vioz. 30 cts., 
02. 60 cts., y4lb. $1.50, lb. $4.50. 
Schell's New Extra-Earlu Perfection 
A very large, early, round-headed Cabbage of the 
greatest value to those who grow for market. It is with- 
out question one of the best round, hard-headed, early 
Cabbages in cultivation. The heads are very solid, 
weighing 8 to 10 pounds, the stems short and few outside 
leaves which allows very close planting. Everyone who 
intends to grow Cabbage should include this splendid 
variety. It follows 10 days after my new extra-early 
■•Harrisburg." Pkt. 10 cts., V40Z. 20 cts., V20Z. 30 cts.
