CABBAGE. 
French— C hou pomm£. 
Tire Cultivation of Cabbage.— liy a little careful arrangement Cabbages can be had almost all the year round. An early variety sown in 
the spring will come into use in the summer ; a main crop variety sown in the spring will come in during summer or autumn. Sowings made 
during July of Carters Rosette Colewort will come into use during autumn, whilst sowings made towards the end of August will be fit for cutting 
in the spring. July sowings of a Cabbage intended for spring cutting often bolt, whereas the same variety sown at end of August stands well. 
Cabbages require a rich, deeply dug, and well-drained soil. When planted out they should stand 15 to 20 in. apart, according to habit and 
growth of the variety/ Do not plant in freshly dug ground, as the hearts are more solid and compact when grown in firm soil.

280 Early Heartwell, Carters (Sp. A). — An early Marrow 
Cabbage of refined quality and delicate flavour; without doubt 
one of the best varieties in cultivation. Sown in spring will be 
fit to cut in summer. Sown in August will be fit to cut in April 
and May. (See Photograph.) Per pkt., -/6 and 1/- ; peroz., 2 /- 
-88 Springtide, Carters (Sp. A).— A dwarf variety, maturing in 
April or even earlier in favourable seasons, when Cabbage forms 
such a valuable addition to the table. The hearts are of perfect 
form and flavour. This choice little variety is practically all

can be used. ( See Photograph,) Per pkt.. -/6'and 1/- ; per oz.. 2 /- 
294 Pioneer, Carters (Sp. A). — A valuable early Cabbage, rather 
larger than our springtide, maturing a few weeks later and 
forming a valuable succession to that variety. An excellent type 
for main crop where medium size and first-class quality are 
desired. (See Photograph.) Per pkt., -/ 6 and 1/- ; per oz., 1/6

CARTERS MAINCROP CABBAGE.

summer and autumn, or when sown in August fine heads may be 
expected in the late spring. It is much more robust and hardy 
than many of the small varieties now recommended for early 
summer use. Included in our Gold Medal Exhibits at Ipswich 
and Birmingham, 1921. (See Photograph.)

favourably commented upon when included in our exhibit of 
Brassicas at the Royal Horticultural Society’s Hall, autumn, 1913, 
and the Vegetable Committee recommended it for further trial at 
Wisley. The heart is a perfect cone in shape, whilst its absolute 
freedom from coarseness ensures its success for table use.

stands over a very long period and is not liable to burst, as are 
many of the ordinary types. Crop failed.
