OUR GENUINE FROST PROOF CABBAGE PLANTS have become one of the most important items that we list, and they being usually 
the first thing purchased by our customers, that we are devoting one of our first pages to them. 
There is only one place where we have grown successfully the GENUINE FROST PROOF CABBAGE PLANTS, and that place is the 
low-lying sea islands along the coast of South Carolina, where the soil, climate and salt air from the sea make an ideal combination for 
growing these plants, and I ask you most sincerely not to confuse our GENUINE FROST PROOF CABBAGE PLANTS with the Cabbage 
plants grown in hot beds or in the open in many parts of the South where the climate is warm, many miles inland from the sea, and 
advertised as FROST PROOF, as these plants will not stand the cold like our GENUINE FROST PROOF PLANTS. 
BUCHANAN’S GENUINE FROST PROOF CABBAGE PLANTS will stand a temperature of 20 degrees above zero without injury, the 
land freezing, or the plants being covered with ice, sleet or snow after they are planted will not injure them, providing the temperature 
does not go below 20 degrees above zero. 
The plants make a slow but steady growth until at eight or ten weeks of age they are very tough and hardy. The buds are purple 
and the outer leaves a reddish brown. When they reach this condition (about January 1st) we begin shipping—our customers setting them 
out six to eight weeks before their home-raised plants are ready for setting, and while the top of the plant does not grow until your regular 
spring weather opens up, THE ROOTS GROW FROM THE TIME THEY ARE PLANTED, and when Spring opens the plant grows very 
fast, maturing headed cabbage two to four weeks sooner than you can mature them from hot bed or cold frame plants. 
BUCHANAN’S GENUINE FROST PROOF CABBAGE PLANTS will be somewhat wilted and have a hard, stunted appearance when 
you receive them. Do not let this disappoint you, as it is the natural way they grow. Plant them ; the crop will not be disappointing. They 
are the genuine Frost Proof Plants.
