CABBAGE 
V, oz. to 100 feet of driU. 
One ounce will produce 3000 plants; one-quarter pound will 
produce plants for one acre. 
The soil should be deep and rich. For early crop grow plants 
in hot beds, transplanting to cold frames and 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.

Early Jersey Wakefield — This, has been for many years the lead- 
ing early Cabbage In America. The main difficulty has been 
to get a perfectly satisfactory and reliable strain of seed. 
Buyers will find Early Jersey Wakefield the genuine article. 
It has few outer leaves, and in compactness and regularity can- 
not be surpassed. The thick stout leaves and compact habit 
make it the best sort for very early setting. It frequently ma- 
tures inside of 100 days from sowing. 
Early Wlnnlng'- 
stadt — This Is an- 
other old and 
famous type of 
early Cabbage 
but as In the case 
of Wakefield, the 
main difficulty is 
to get a strain of 
seed representing 
the highest grade 
of excellence. 
Such a strain 
will be found In 
our WInningstadt. 
It Is almost as 
early as Wake- 
field. It is a sure 
header, even 
where other sorts 
may fail and 
seems to be less 
liable to the at- 
tacks of Cabbage 
worm than many 
other varieties. 
Cabbage (Early WInningstadt.) 
Cabbage (Olory of Enkhuizen.) 
Glory of Enkliulzen — The earliest and largest white Cabbage — 
attractive for market purposes. Solid with large ball shaped 
heads thln-rlbbed and hard, few outside leaves; exceedingly 
tender. Is a dwarf and compact grower: allowing close plant- 
ing; will yield more tons per acre than any other variety. 
Copenhagron Market — A new early variety, which will be very 
popular with market gardeners. It Is the finest large, round- 
headed early Cabbage in cultivation. It Is further desirable 
on account of the remarkable characteristic of maturing the 
heads all at the same time, enabling the grower to gather his 
crop with less expense and permitting the cleaning of the land
