Early Flat 
Dutch Cabbage 
CABBAGE 
All that Cabbage requires is the soil to be rich, well drained, and abundantly manured. For the early 
kinds, plant 30 inches between the rows and 16 inches between the plants. For the late kinds, 3 feet between 
the rows and 2 feet between the plants. For very early use, sow in January or February, In hotbeds. Set 
out when the plants are strong enough into other hotbeds, or set in cold-frames in March. Transplant when 
danger of frost is past to the open ground. For a succession, sow in the open ground last of March, or early 
in April. The late or winter crop can be sown In May and the plants set out in July. An ounce of seed 
produces 1,500 plants; one-half pound to transplant for an acre. 
HOW TO DESTROY CABBAGE WORMS.— Slug Shot can be used lightly or heavily, and the Cabbage 
suffers no harm. The Cabbage forms its head by interior growth; it throws off its earlier and outside leaves, 
and no dust can enfold within its head. Apply Slug Shot with a duster, sifting it over the plants or full- 
grown Cabbages. The powder is very fine and goes a long way in field and garden. 
COPENHAGEN MARKET.— This Is very heavy and 
solid, like the “Ballhead” type of Cabbage; makes a 
fine, large, globe-shaped head with well-developed 
outside leaves, but it is very much earlier In maturing 
than any of the Danish Cabbages. It is short- 
stemmed, the heads being produced almost on the 
ground. The leaves are tightly folded around each 
other, which permits close setting of plants. The 
heads mature all at the same time. For prices see 
colored pages. 
EARLY JERSEY WAKEFIELD.— Dong recognized 
as the best earliest marketable Cabbage. In size, 
medium; In shape pyramidal with pointed peak. Its 
uncommonly fine heading qualities, together with its 
fitness for wintering in cold frames, please the most 
critical gardeners. Our strain of seed Is of superior 
quality. For prices see colored pages. 
CHARLESTON WAKEFIELD.— This famous va- 
riety has all the fine qualities of the Early Jersey 
AVakefleld; it produces heads of a much larger size, 
but is two weeks later. For prices see colored pages. 
ALL HEAD EARLY.— Heads flat, deep, and solid: 
valuable also for late. Seed sown In July and set out 
in August will make fine heads. Largely planted by 
market gardeners. Nearly 10,000 can be grown on 
an acre, and almost every one will head. For prices 
see colored pages. 
EARLY WINNIGSTADT. — This is one of our most 
popular varieties, especially among the German gar- 
deners. There is no early sort which heads with 
greater certainty, or more solid; the heads are of 
good size, cone form, broad at the base, with twisted 
i op. and succeeds the Large York. For prices see 
colored paces. 
SECOND EARLY. 
EARLY SUMMER. — This Is a very valuable variety, 
not only for the market gardener, but also the private 
grower, as its heading season Is between the Jersey 
Wakefield and Early Drumhead, producing heads of 
double the size of the former and almost equal to 
the latter, frequently weighing from 12 to 20 pounds 
each; of round-flattened form, very compact, solid, 
and of excellent quality; its leaves turn into heads 
almost as soon as formed, which permits of close 
planting. For prices see colored pages. 
ALL SEASONS. — One of the largest and a thor- 
oughly satisfactory second early sort. Plants are 
vigorous, sure heading, leaves large and smooth. This 
is a first-class sort both for early *and late p’antlng 
and is especially adapted for kraut. It Is well adapted 
to stand the hot sun and adverse conditions. For 
ored pa~es. 
SUCCESSION — A thoroughbred second 
early Cabbage, pronounced by experts 
the most perfect type grown. Espe- 
cially recommended on account of its 
uniform size and shape; about a week 
later than Early Summer, but much 
larger heads, averaging 12 to 15 pounds 
in weight; 36 inches in circumference, 
every plant producing a fine, solid head. 
One of the surest varieties to make a 
crop under all conditions and does well 
in all seasons, no matter when planted. 
For prices see colored pages. 
EARLY DRUMHEAD.— This popular variety fol- 
lows the Early Summer in heading, and is one of 
the most valuable varieties grown. It Is ready for 
marketing two or three weeks earlier than the Late 
Drumhead, forms large, solid, rounded hpads. weleh- 
l"tr on an average from 15 to 25 pounds each. For 
prices see colored nages.
