Cabbage 
Always be sure that your Cabbage seed is grown from well-formed, selected heads. The ground should be a 
heavy, moist, rich loam, highly manured, deeply dug or plowed and thoroughly worked. For early plants sow in 
mid-September, and protect in coldframes through the Winter. The more common way is to sow in hotbeds in 
February or March, and prick out into coldframes, to be transplanted, when danger of frost is past. Early va¬ 
rieties should set 18 inches by 2 feet. Fall and Winter sorts 28 inches apart each way. The late Autumn and Win¬ 
ter varieties may be sown in a seed bed, from the middle to close of Spring, and 
transplanted when about 6 inches high. Shade and water in dry weather. See that 
the plants stand thinly in the seed bed; if they come up thick, prick them out into beds 
4 to 6 inches apart. They can then be moved with earth attached, on a moist day, 
jit ii without damage. Transplant just at evening, giving each plant water at the root. 
M (ikes Seeds Healthy Hoe every week more deeply as they advance, drawing up a little more earth each 
time, until they begin to head, when they should be fairly dug between and hilled up . 
One ounce of seed will produce about 3,000 
plants. 
Golden Acre Cabbage (Original Strain). Con¬ 
sidered the earliest round-headed Cabbage, aver¬ 
aging 4 pounds, with few outer leaves, permitting 
close planting. Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 30 cts., 34 lb- $1.00. 
Chinese Cabbage (Pe-Tsai). This is a 
vegetable from the Far East. It is similar to Cos 
Lettuce in appearance and tenderness, and has the 
crispness of Celery while tasting like a Cabbage, 
without its offensive odor. Sow the seed after July 
1. Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 30 cts., lb. $1.00. 
Copenhagen Market. As early as the Char¬ 
leston Wakefield. Perfectly ball-shaped, uniform 
in size, and as large, or larger than the Danish 
Ballhead. Very solid and of fine quality. The 
plant is short-stemmed; leaves tightly folded. 
Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 25 cts., 34 lb. 75 cts. lb. $2.75. 
Early Jersey Wakefield. The standard, very 
early variety of medium size; pyramidal in shape, 
having a rounded peak. Its small, outside foliage 
permits of close planting; a good variety to winter 
in cold frames. Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 25 cts., 34 lb. 
75 cts., lb. $2.75. 
The Charleston, or Early Large Jersey 
Wakefield. Of the same form and type as the

while it is less than a week later. Pkt. 5 cts., 
oz. 25 cts., 34 lb. 75 cts., lb. $2.75. 
Henderson’s Succession. A second early variety, 
coming in a few days later than Early Summer, but 
immeasurably superior to that variety. For medium- 
early, main crop, or late use it has no superior. Pkt. 
5 cts., oz. 25 cts., 34 lb. 75 cts., lb. $2.75. 
Early Summer. About 10 days later than Early 
Wakefield, but double the size. Flat, or slightly coni¬ 
cal; keeps long without bursting. Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 
25 cts., M lb. 75 cts., lb. $2.75. 
Fottler’s Brunswick. One of the best. Heads 
large, flat, solid, of good quality; stem remarkably 
short; sure header. Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 25 cts., 34 lb. 
75 cts., lb. $2.75. 
Perfection Drumhead Savoy Cabbage. 
All Seasons. One of the very best sorts for general 
cultivation, either for early Fall or for Winter use. 
Heads very large, usually somewhat flattened and 
solid. Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 25 cts., 34 lb. 75 cts., lb. $2.75. 
Surehead. A compact-growing, main-crop. Cab¬ 
bage of uniform, large size; thick, solid heads. Pkt. 5 
cts., oz. 25 cts., 34 lb. 75 cts., lb. $2.75. 
Excelsior Large Flat Dutch. The king of late 
Cabbages. Improved by selection from the late Flat 
Dutch; unquestionably the best strain. Its remarkable 
uniformity, size, short stump, few outside leaves and 
solid weight make it the most profitable late sort. 
Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 25 cts., 34 lb. 75 cts., lb. $2.75. 
Premium Flat Dutch. A very popular standard va¬ 
riety. Its keeping qualities are unsurpassed; heads large, 
tender, fine-flavored. Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 25 cts., 34 lb. 75 cts., 
lb. $2.75. 
Danish Ballhead. Plants rather long¬ 
stemmed, but compact; leaves very smooth 
but thick; head of medium size, round and 
very solid, being the hardest-heading Cab¬ 
bage we know, and of the very best quality. 
Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 25 cts., 34 lb. 75 cts., lb. $2.75. 
Danish Roundhead. A short-stemmed 
type of the Danish Ballhead, maturing ear¬ 
lier than that variety. Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 25 
cts., 34 lb. 75 cts., lb. $2.75. 
Perfection Drumhead Savoy. Large 
heads of finely curled leaves, particularly 
adapted for private use. Grown in the Fall 
and allowed to be touched by frost, it is one 
of the most delicious of all vegetables. Pkt. 
5 cts., oz. 25 cts., 34 lb. 75 cts., lb. $2.75. 
Red Drumhead. Excellent for pickling 
or eating raw. For solidity, deep red color, 
certainty of heading and dwarf habit of growth, this has 
no equal. Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 25 cts., 34 lb. 75 cts., lb.$2.75.
