CABBAGE 
CULTURE—Early varieties should be started in cold frame in January and February, or sowed the 
fall previous. They can be grown in a hot bed, but this is not so good, as the plants become tender. The 
earliest cabbage can be grown by sowing the seed in August or early September then transplant to the field 
in October. For late, plant in open ground May 1st, transplant June 15 for fall, and July 1st to 20th 
for winter cabbage, in rows 3% feet apart, from 25 to 42 inches in the row, according to the richness of 
the soil, size and variety. Do not crowd them. They do best in rich, loamy soil, fertilized with barn¬ 
yard manure of any kind and applying our Garden Grow fertilizer as directed. Early Jersey Wakefield, 
Large Wakefield, Early Express, Danish Roundhead, All Head Early and Oregon Ballhead can be sown in 
the fall for spring and summer cutting. They seldom run to seed. 
PRICES ON CABBAGE SEED are uniformly as follows, unless otherwise noted: Pkt. 5c; oz. 35c; 
% lb. $1.10; lb. $3.75; postpaid. 
♦GILL’S OREGON BALLHEAD—The acknowl¬ 
edged leader among Northwest growers for a main 
crop winter cabbage. We have developed this strain 
until it excels all others for solidity, resistance 
to aphis or freeze injury. It is unquestionably the 
best cabbage for crating or general market pur¬ 
poses. The outer leaves are deep green and will 
hold their color weeks after cutting. It is the 
best keeper of all, and every plant will head solid 
if given half a show. It will stand later planting 
than any winter sort, and still produce solid heads. 
More of our seed, of this variety, is planted in the 
Northwest, than any other kind for winter cabbage. 
Pkt. 10c; oz. 50c; % lb. $1.50; lb. $5.00. 
SOLID SUMMER—A new second early main crop 
cabbage for market or kraut. In season it matures 
between Copenhagen Market and Glory of Enkhui- 
sen. Extra solid, round deep heads that stand long 
without cracking. The originator claims it out- 
yields Glory of Enkhuisen. Pkt. 10c; V-z oz. 50c; 
oz. 90c; 14 lb. $3.00; lb. $10.00. 
DANISH BALLHEAD—Imported seed of the short 
stem type. It matures earlier than Oregon Ball- 
head. Medium sized, solid heads. 
GOLDEN ACRE—It is claimed to be the earliest 
round headed cabbage and that it matures before 
Early Jersey Wakefield. The heads are firm with 
few outer leaves and average about four pounds. 
Pkt. 10c; oz. 50c; % lb. $1.35; lb. $4.50. 
DANISH ROUNDHEAD—About two weeks earlier 
than Oregon Ballhead. The heads are larger and 
in demand for kraut purposes. It does not with¬ 
stand aphis or freezing like Oregon Ballhead. Seed 
from carefully selected heads. 
GLORY OF ENKHUISEN—The best variety for 
summer or fall crops, for its tendency is to produce 
large heads even in dry weather. It can also be 
used for early spring crop. It is not satisfactory 
as a winter cabbage. Very brittle and sweet. 
EXTRA EARLY COPENHAGEN MARKET—A 
strain of Copenhagen Market selected for extreme 
earliness and maturing a week to ten days ahead 
of the regular strain. Pkt. 10c; oz. 40c; 14 lb. 
$1.25; lb. $4.25. 
COPENHAGEN MARKET—Good sized, round 
heads, maturing with Large Wakefield, usually 
weighing 5 to 8 pounds. 
AMERICAN SAVOY—The best main crop Savoy 
cabbage; quite firm, large heads with curly foliage. 
Gill’s Oregon Ballhead 
ALL HEAD EARLY—A second early, flat headed 
sort, very sure heading and little subject to burst¬ 
ing. Extra fine for kraut. Very desirable for fall. 
BIG STRAIN WAKEFIELD— Larger than Early 
Jersey Wakefield and one week later. Valuable 
crop to precede Charleston Wakefield. Pkt. 10c; 
oz. 50c; % lb. $1.50; lb. $5.00. 
♦EARLY JERSEY WAKEFIELD SPECIAL— 
This old favorite is still the most valuable for the 
main crop of early cabbage. We have secured a 
special strain with solid heads and a few outside 
leaves. It also matured the earliest of some twenty 
strains we tested. Pkt. 5c; oz. 40c; % lb. $1.25; 
lb. $4.00. 
EXTRA EARLY EXPRESS—Five to seven days 
earlier than Early Jersey Wakefield producing 
pointed, firm heads of fair size. 
LARGE WAKEFIELD or CHARLESTON—Sim¬ 
ilar to Jersey Wakefield, but half again as large 
and ten days later. 
STONEHEAD RED—Deep red, solid heads, re¬ 
sembling Oregon Ballhead in shape. Exceptionally 
solid and of good size. Pkt. 5c; oz. 40c; lb. 
$1.25; lb. $4.25. 
CAULIFLOWER 
CULTURE—For early cauliflower, the same culture as for early cabbage may be used. For late 
cauliflower, in the description of the varieties offered, the time of planting seed and plants is given. 
Cauliflower does best in a rich, loamy soil, not a cold, wet location. Plant 2% to 3 Y 2 feet in rows, and 
3% feet between rows. As soon as the heads are large enough to soon be exposed to the light, tie or 
break the leaves carefully over the head to keep the light away from them. Great care should be used in 
growing plants of any of the early sorts, that they receive no severe check in their growth, as this will 
cause them to produce premature heads. Success can be had with early varieties by planting the seed in 
the field where they are to grow, even as late as July 10. However, the soil should be thoroughly prepared 
and several seeds put in a hill, thinning down to one plant when they have reached transplanting size. 
HENDERSON SNOWBALL— A very popular 
Snowball type extensively grown for shipping in 
the Portland territory. Reselected to produce ex¬ 
ceptionally white, solid heads well protected with 
foliage. We recommend this strain for shipping. 
Pkt. 15c; % oz. 65c; oz. $2.00; % lb. $6.00; lb. 
$ 22 . 00 .

CATSKILL SNOWBALL—A selected strain of

even surface. This is one of the best commercial 
strains and is very popular in the Portland ship¬ 
ping district. Pkt. 15c; *4 oz. 65c; oz. $2.00;
