CABBAGE Cultural Hints . — For plants of the early varieties 
" sow the seed in January or February, under glass, 
and prick out into flats or frames about 2 in. 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 1 J ft. 
to 2 ft. apart in rows, which should be at least 3 ft. apart. They 
should be kept well cultivated, and during drought should be 
thoroughly irrigated if possible. Plants do best in a rich, warm, 
fibrous soil. Seed of the late Cabbage should be sown in drills in 
the open ground during April and May and transplanted in June 
or July. 1 oz. of Cabbage seed will produce about 2,000 heads, 
fi oz. will plant an acre.

301 Carters Mammoth Beefheart Cabbage. — The finest autumn 
garden Cabbage grown. It is some years since we introduced 
this variety, but each seuson it becomes more popular, and we 
confidently recommend this highly selected strain as being not 
only the largest, but one with the least tendency to bolt. It 
is much more robust and hardy than many of the small varieties 
now recommended for early summer use. 
330 Copenhagen Market.— This sort is the earliest and largest of 
any ball or round head type grown. The heads weigh 10 to 12 
lb and arc very solid and of excellent quality. We heartily 
recommend this type to*those who contemplate the growing of an 
early Cabbage. 
329 Warren’s Stonemason. — -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 cannot be 
surpassed.

in Denmark. It is a medium-late sort, but is sown mostly for 
winter use, because of its fine keeping qualities.

Savoy was very favourably commented 
upon when included in our exhibit at the 
Royal Horticultural Society’s Hall. The heart is a perfect cone 
in shape, whilst its absolute freedom from coarseness ensures its 
suceess for table use. Cartercone is a very refined type. Although 
maturing early, it stands over a very long period and is not liable 
to burst.
