CABBAGE 
Culture—The requisites for complete success are: 
First, good seed; in this crop the quality of the seed 
used is of the greatest importance; no satisfactory 
results can possibly be obtianed when poor seed is 
planted. Second, rich, well prepared ground. A heavy, 
moist and rich loam is most suitable. Third, frequent 
and thorough cultivation. The ground should be highly 
manured and worked deep. Cabbage is grown all over 
the country and specific directions regarding the time 
and methods of planting applicable to all localities 
cannot be given. In general, north of the 40th parallel 
the early sorts should be sown very early in hotbeds, 
hardened off by gradually exposing them to the night 
air and transplanted as early as the ground is in good 
condition, setting eighteen to thirty-six inches apart, 
according to size and variety. South of the 40th paral¬ 
lel, sow about the middle of September, or later, 
according to latitude, transplanting into cold frames 
if necessary to keep through winter and setting in 
open ground as early as possible in the spring. 
The late autumn and winter varieties may be sown 
from the middle to the last of spring and transplanted 
when four to six inches high. If the weather and soil 
is dry, the late sowing should be shaded and watered 
in order to hasten germination, but it is important 
that the plants should not be shaded or crowded in 
the seed bed, or they will run up weak and slender 
and will not endure transplanting well. 
EARLY JERSEY WAKEFIELD 
Early Jersey Wakefield—The best first-early oblong¬ 
headed cabbage. The heads are uniformly hard and 
solid. They are pyramidal in form, generally pointed 
at the end, with but few outside leaves. The outer 
leaves are unusually thick and heavy, and it is thereby 
enabled to stand more cold weather without injury 
when carried through the winter.

Extra Early Express—About ten days earlier than 
Early Wakefield; heads small, heart-shaped and very 
solid; having but few outer leaves plants can be set 
very close. Per pkt. 5c; oz. 30c; Y* lb. $1.00, postpaid 
Early Winnigstadt—This suffers less from insects 
than any other early cabbage. The heads are of the 
same size as the Jersey Wakefield. 
Per pkt. 5c; oz. 25c, postpaid 
All Head Early (The Faultless)—As early as most of 
the early summer cabbages; the deep, flat heads are 
remarkably solid and uniform in color as well as in 
shape and size; makes a fine winter cabbage if sown 
late. Splendid sort for kraut making. 
Per pkt. 5c; oz. 25c; Ya lb. 75c, postpaid 
Early Flat Dutch—Earlier and heads somewhat 
smaller than Late Flat Dutch ; a good short stemmed 
early. Pkt. 5c; oz. 30c; Ya lb. $1.00 
Baby Head—Of unusual merit. The beautiful little 
round heads are "solid as a rock” and weigh from three 
to six pounds, just a right size for family use. 
Pkt. 10c; oz. 50c 
Glory of Enkhuizen—Excellent medium early, short¬ 
stemmed variety, maturing ten days earlier than Danish 
Round Head. Heads large, round, very solid, with few 
outer leaves. One of the most satisfactory for kraut 
making. _ Per pkt. 5c; oz. 30c; Ya lb. 90c

Copenhagen Market 
Copenhagen Market—It is undoubtedly without a 
rival as the finest large round-headed early Cabbage 
in cultivation. The type is thoroughly fixed, the heads 
maturing all at the same time—(this being a great 
consideration to Market Gardeners, entailing less labor 
in harvesting the crop and allows the ground to be 
cleared at the first cutting). The heads average about 
ten pounds each in weight, and very solid, with small 
core and of fine quality. The plant is short-stemmed, 
the heads being produced almost on the ground level. 
The leaves are light green, rather small saucer-shaped, 
and always tightly folded. The plants, therefore, can 
be set closer than usual with varieties of similar size.

GOLDEN ACRE 
Golden Acre—A very fine new sort from Denmark— 
the home of fine Cabbages. It is very uniform, almost 
every head could be cut at the same time. The origin¬ 
ator states that Golden Acre matures quicker than 
any variety known to him. The head is of medium size, 
quite round, and is surrounded by a few small outer 
leaves. It is very firm and fully equal to any of the 
late sorts in this respect. On account of its hardness 
it will stand in the field for a month or more without 
bursting and can be shipped long distances and arrive 
in excellent condition. Don’t fail to give the Golden 
Acre a trial. 
Price: per pkt. 10c; 1 oz. 40c; Ya lb. $1.10, postpaid 
SAVOY CABBAGE 
or CURLED LEAF 
Characterized by dark green, heavily crimped, curled, or 
savoyed leaves. The flavor is far superior to other sorts, 
especially after being touched by frost. In demand as a 
Winter Cabbage. 
Perfection Drumhead Savoy Wirsing—This is the 
hardest heading and best all-around Savoy. Plants are 
of strong growth, having only a moderate amount of 
outer foliage growing closely about the large solid round 
heads. Heads beautifully blanched and of the finest 
flavor. Per pkt. 5c; oz. 20c; Ya lb. 60c; lb. $2.00
