"We take special pleasure in recommendinsr our strains of Cabbag-e to oar patrons. Exercising-, as we do, the utmost care in the 
grrowth and selootion of our seed stocks, we know that the Cabbag-e seed which we offer is unsurpassed in quality. We do not offer two 
strains of one variety, as we deem the BEST none too grood for those who kindly favor us with their orders. 
Cabbage will thrive on any good corn land, thou^jh the stronger the soil the better they wiii develop. New land is preferable. Plow deep 
and maniire very liberally. The early sorts bear planting from eighteen inches to two feet apart in the rows, with the rows Irom two to two and 
a half feet apart, the large varieties to be from two to four feet apart in the rows, with rows from two and a half to four feet apart, the dis- 
tance varj'ing with the size. The crop should receive as many as two hoeings and three cultivations. Cabbage will not usually follow cabbage or 
turnips successfullv in field culture, unless three or four years have intervened between the crops.

culture in this climate, 
has the advantage of in- 
creased hardiness and
