(One ounce will produce 1,500 plants; half pound will produoe plants 
lor one acre.) 
The soil should be deep and rich. For early crop grow plants in hot 
btds, transplanting to cold frames land then as early as possible after danger 
of freezing to the open ground. Cultivate often and keep well watered if 
under irrigation. For late crops sow seed in open ground and transplant, 
or some succeed finely by sowing seeds in hills where wanted and thinning 
to one. This avoids the necessity of waiting for a damp time to transplant. 
CABBAGE— (Copenhagen Market) Pkt., 10c; Oz., 50c; V4 Lb $1.50

ting. The heads average about ten pounds each in weight, are hard and 
solid with small cone. The quality is extra fine and sweet. It matures 
as early as the Wakefields and will yield more to the acre in weight. It

leaves are light green, rather small, saucer-shaped and tightly folded, 
makiing it possible to set them close together in the field.
