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 V2 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; trans- 
plant in July. Keep dusting them through the season 
with "Slug-Shot," whicn 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 oimce 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 Acres

I want every market-gardener, every fanner. Quality 
every home-gardener, to grow this splendid Ca.b- 
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 required 
forioo heads of other varieties, because the plants of Har- 
risburg 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 Cabbage taste 
and its fine texture, together with its extreme earliness, 
make it, in my estimation, a very valuable extra-early 
round-head Cabbage. I recommend it highly. Pkt.
