CABBAGE — Continued. 
Carters Mammoth Beefheart 
Cabbage ( see Photograph ). — 
The finest medium Late Cab- 
bage grown. It is some years 
since we introduced this 
variety, but each season it 
becomes more popular, and 
we confidently recommend it 
as being not only the largest, 
but one with the least ten- 
dency to bolt. 
Price, .10 per pkt. ; .40 per oz. ; 
1.50 per 34 lb. 
Warren’s Stone-Mason. — A 
popular variety in this 
vicinity. The heads are 
very large and round and 
slightly flattened, very solid 
and crisp, with a fine 
flavour. As a keeper it can- 
not be surpassed. 
Price, .10 per pkt. ; .50 per oz. ; 
1.75 per 34 lb. 
Carters Mammoth Beefheart 
Danish Ball Head. — An extra hard heading variety originated in Denmark. It is a medium-late sort 
but is sown mostly for winter use, because of its fine keeping qualities. 
Price, .10 per pkt. ; .40 per oz. ; 1.50 per 34 lb. 
Carters Red Pickling 
Carters Red Pickling (see Photograph ). — This 
is the most perfect type of Red Cabbage; 
the heads being very hard, compact, of a 
rich, deep crimson, the colour also of the 
outer leaves being much darker than any 
other variety we know ; we feel confident 
it will speedily displace the older sorts. 
Price, .10 per pkt.; .40 per oz. ; 
1.60 per 34 lb. 
The Cultivation of Cabbage. — For plants of the 
early varieties sow the seed in January or February, 
under glass, and prick out into flats or frames about 
2 inches apart each way. Transplant to the open 
ground as soon in the spring as the land can be 
properly prepared. The plants should be placed 
from 18 to 24 inches apart in rows which should be 
at least 2 feet apart. They should be kept well 
cultivated and during drought should be thoroughly 
irrigated if this is possible. The plants do best in 
a rich, warm, fibrous soil. The seed of the late 
Cabbage should be sown in drills in the open ground 
during April and May and transplanted in June or 
July, leaving more room between the plants than 
was allowed for the eaily sorts. One ounce of 
Cabbage seed will produce about three thousand 
heads. Four ounces will plant an acre.
