LOW’S RETAIL CATALOGUE. 
Low’s Selected. Cabbage Seed. 
None Better, Few Eciual. 
For the past twelve or fifteen years, I have made the most careful selection for our stock-seed of all the leading 
varieties of cabbage, personally selecting none but the most perfectly developed, largest and most solid heads, of the 
truest type (discarding all poor and inferior heads), from which to grow my seed. I can, with the utmost confidence, 
recommend my cabbage seed to be as pure and reliable as any in the market. Try it once and you will always buy it. 
Read remarks on pages 20 and 21, regarding the cabbage seed I offer my patrons. 
CABBAGES. 
Culture. — For cabbage the ground must be highly manured, deeply dug or ploughed, and thoroughly worked 
to insure good full-size heads. A heavy, moist, fresh loam is the most suitable. The early sorts are sometimes 
sown in autumn, protected in cold frames through the winter, and transplanted early in spring. More generally, 
however, at the North, they are sown in the spring in hot-beds, or later in the open ground. In the mild climate of 
the Southern States, where they will stand the winter, they are planted out in the fall. Plant out eighteen inches by 
two feet apart. One ounce of seed will sow forty square feet.

rieties as second early. See Specialties,
