Golden Acre Cabbage 
Chinese Cabbage 
We advise that the seed of this Cabbage be sown in July or 
August (not earlier) because it has a tendency to bolt to seed 
in warm weather. Either start in frames and transplant, or 
sow where the plants are to remain, in rows 2}/2 feet apart, 
thinning to from 12 to 18 inches apart in the row. It is very 
easily grown and takes very little space. 
Special Narrow Head. Tall, slim, pointed heads, much 
heavier and taller than any other and very solid. The 
flavor is delicate. Pkt. 10 cts.; Hoz. 35 cts.; oz. 65 cts.; 
MIb. $1.70.
