WALTER S. SCHELLS QUALITY SEEDS FOR MARKET-GARDENERS 
An absolutely perfect crop of Ertra-Early Perfection Cabbage 
Every siiiKlo lu'ad in the entire crop was a perfect one. No croij ever grown 
anywhere could have been belter. The above was grown from my High Quality Seed 
by Wm. J. Matzinger, market-gardener. Another proof that They Graiv Better — 
They Yield Better. 
CABBAGE 
HOW TO GROW CABBAGE.— To get 
the earliest possible 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 Vz 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 aroimd 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. (We have it.) 
One ounce will sow a row of 300 feet and 
make about 2,500 plants; 4 oimces to the 
acre. 
To obtain a crop witli 95 to g8 per 
cent perfect heads you must have a 
high grade of seed such as I offer you. 
Important! The crop of Cabbage 
seed is one of the smallest for many 
years. It is to your interest to get 
your order in early. Please note the 
packet price of most varieties is lo 
cents. This allows a more liberal 
amount of seed.
