Cabbage 
-A.11 that Cabbage requires is the soil to be rich, deep, 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 verv 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 suc- 
cession, sow in the open ground last of March or early in April. The late or winter crop seed 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 sieving 
it over the plants or full-grown Cabbages. The powder is very fine and goes a long way in held and 
garden. 
COPENHAGEN MARKET. — This is very heavy 
and solid, like the “Ballhcad” type of Cabbage; 
makes a fine, large, globe-shaped head with well- 
developed outside leaves, but is very much ear- 
lier in maturing than any of the Danish Cab- 
bages, in fact as early as Early Jersey Wake- 
field, and will give a much heavier yield per acre 
than that variety. It is short-stemmed, the heads 
being produced almost on the ground. 
The leaves are tightly folded around 
each other, which permits close set- 
ting of plants. The heads mature 
ail at the same time. Oz., 25c: lb., 
$1.25; 1 lb., $4.00. 
CHARLESTON WAKE FIELD. — 
This famous variety has all the fine 
qualities of the Early Jersey Wake- 
field; it produces heads of a much 
larger size, but is two weeks later. 
It has become a leading market va- 
riety in all sections of our country 
where the Cabbage is grown exten- 
sively for market. Oz., 25c; 14 lb., 
$1.25; 1 lb., $2.25. 
CHICAGO MARKET CABBAGE 
Planted early, it develops fine, large, 
solid heads one week later than the 
Wakefield, while if set out later it 
makes excellent heads for winter use. 
It stands the hot sun well, is almost 
certain to head, and does not crack; 
is an excellent keeper. Oz., 25c: Va. 
lb., 75c; 1 lb., $2.75. 
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. Large- 
ly planted by market gardeners. Near- 
ly 10,000 can be grown on an acre, 
and almost every one will head 
Oz., 25c; Vi lb., 75c; lb., $2.75. 
EARLY JERSEY WAKEFIELD Long recog- 
nized as the best, earliest marketable Cabbage. 
In size, medium; in shape, pyramidal with pointed 
peak. Its uncommonly fine heading qualities, to- 
gether with its fitness for wintering in cold 
frames, pleases the most critical gardeners. Our 
strain of seed is of superior quality. Oz., 25c: 
Vi lb., GOc; 1 lb., $2.25. , ’ ’
