WALTER S. SCHELL'S QUALITY SEEDS FOR MARKET-GARDENERS 
CABBAGE 
HOW TO GROW CABBAGE. — To get the earliest passible crops, sow the seed of the early varieties under glass (green- 
house 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 inches 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 m 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. 
To obtain a crop with 95 to 98 per cent perfect heads you must have a high grade of seed such as I offer you. 
ImpoTtantI The crop of Cabbaf^e seed is one of Ihe smallest for many years. It is to your interest to get your 
order in early. Please note the paclcet price of most varieties is 10 cents. This allows a more liberal amount of seed.
