A & M Cabbage 
Cannon Ball 
The secret of growing hardy plants is to thoroughly prepare the soil in the plant bed. Plow the soil to a depth , 
^UllUie Qf eight or ten inches, pulverize well. Sow in drills not too freely, about one-half inch deep, press the soil firmly 
over the seed: this is important. In about six weeks transplant in rows three feet apart, one foot in the row for Wmnigsta,dt, 
eighteen inches for large-heading varieties. Keep the crop well watered and cultivated for when the growth is checked the 
S head matures and bursts forth as soon as moisture is again appiied. This accounts for much cabbage going to seed. Early 
varieties mature about three and one-half months after transplanting, late varieties in about five months. 
Cabbage may be grown all the year in Southern California and throughout the Soumwest. ,, . . , 
It should be borne in mind that the big planting of cabbage is intended to meet the Eastern demand in midwinter and early 
spring, and that our time of planting is out of the natural season, and therefore often subjected to unseasonable weather, which 
causes’ it to be stunted and often shoot to seed. , , , ^ j 
Improper culture, too, will stunt the normal growth of cabbage and cause the heads to prematurely go to seed. 
Cabbage requires heavy soil but good drainage and frequent but shallow cultivation. However good crops will be

some of the crop may run to seed. 
Four ounces of seed will produce plants for one acre. o , , j 
For control of aphis in field culture dust with Nico Dust, using No. 6 in hot weather. No. 8 in cooler weather and No. 10 in 
cold weather. For home gardens Kaloil, Destruxol and Black Leaf 40 are very effective.

A & M Golden Acre Cabbage earliest varieties 
of cabbage we have ever had in our trials. It resembles some¬ 
what in shape the Copenhagen Market, but is a trifle smaller 
in size and is 12 to 14 days earlier. In habit of growth it is 
quite dwarf, very compact and produces a head of desirable 
size for family use or for packing. The heads average in 
weight 2^2 to 3 pounds. Because of its compactness and the 
few leaves it may be planted 12 to 14 inches apart in the row 
and at this rate about 15,000 plants are required for one acre. 
It is very solid, of uniform shape and size and is what we 
consider an extra fine all around variety. (Pkt. 5c) (oz. 40c)

Winnigstadt 
Introduced by us in 1896. 
As a winter crop it is in 
great demand. It is popular 
because it is early, solid, 
good flavor, sure header and 
good shipper. The small 
heads are particularly desir¬ 
able for home use, making 
it a most satisfactory home 
garden variety. (Pkt. 5c)

This has become one of the standard varieties for shipping. 
It is planted mostly during the months of August and Septem¬ 
ber for early spring shipping to Eastern markets. It has a 
globe shaped head slightly flattened and is a hardy grower, 
withstanding more cold weather than other sorts. (Pkt. 6c)
