The Main-Crop Planting of Cabbage in Florida Begins in August and Continues to December 
CABBAGE 
Sow 6 ounces of seed in seed-bed to plant an acre, or plant 12 ounces of seed per acre in field 
For earliness, we recommend 
the pointed types, Jersey Wake¬ 
field and Charleston Wakefield. 
Golden Acre, America, and Co¬ 
penhagen Market are the earliest 
round-headed sorts. 
Culture. Cabbage is a heavy 
feeder and should be grown rap¬ 
idly. Therefore, for best results, 
plenty of fertilizer should be used 
—not less than 1000 pounds per 
acre, and a ton is better. You 
cannot grow a big, heavy crop of 
Cabbage on a starvation ration. 
Where planted in seed-bed, which 
is the desirable and common 
practice, plant seed thin in drills 
6 inches apart, cover 1 inch 
deep, using 6 ounces of seed for 
an acre of plants, and do not 
make your soil in seed-bed as 
rich as soil where plants are to 
be set. When seed is planted in 
field, use 12 ounces of seed per acre. Make rows 2% to 3 feet apart and set plants 12 to 15 inches apart in 
row, depending on size of head you wish to produce. If you desire small heads, crowd the plants; for large 
heads, place farther apart. 
Plant our Bred-Rite brands of Cabbage seed for results that cannot fail to satisfy. Kilgore’s Bred-Rite Cab¬ 
bage seed has been developed and selected for uniformity, high yield, and trueness to type. Our Bred-Rite 
stocks are tested in our Plant City proving grounds a season in advance. In planting Bred-Rite seeds you take 
no chances because you are planting proved seed.

BRED-RITE tures of our Bred-Rite Charleston 
Wakefield are, first it matures a week 
TRADE MARK earlier than ordinary stocks of this va¬ 
riety; second the crop matures practically all at one 
time, making it extremely desirable for an early ship¬ 
per. With this increased earliness, we have retained 
the large, size and trueness to type of the old strains 
of this variety. The heads are larger and broader at 
the base, not quite so pointed and slightly later in 
maturing than our Bred-Rite Early Jersey Wakefield.

market quality. Pkt. 10c; oz. 25c; Ulb. 60c; lb. $1.75.

shipping. Pkt. 10c; oz. 25c; ^4 lb. 75c; lb. $2.50. 
Kilgore’s Bred-Rite Copenhagen Market. 
few (85 days.) Our extra-early strain of 
BRED-RITE Bred-Rite Copenhagen Market is the 
I Bimw finest stock—the very best to be had 
ua.k anywhere. It is extremely early, ma¬ 
turing with the Wakefields. Copenhagen Market is be¬ 
coming very popular with Florida truck growers, some 
of the largest growers planting it extensively, it being 
of medium size and excellent quality so much desired 
on the markets. It is short-stemmed, compact, with 
very solid round heads, having very few outer leaves, 
thus facilitating close planting. Our Bred-Rite stock is 
very uniform in shape, and matures practically all at 
the same time, which is very desirable from a market¬ 
ing standpoint. Pkt. 10c; oz. 25c; X A lb. 75c; lb. $2.50.

slightly flattened, and solid. Pkt. 10c; oz. 25c; ^>4lb. 
75c; lb. $2.50. 
America. ( 8 ^ days.) One of the earliest medium- 
-1 sized, round-headed types ever introduced. 
It matures with Early Jersey Wakefield. It is a vigor¬ 
ous grower, extremely solid, a sure header, and very 
uniform in maturity. The heads stand a long time with¬ 
out bursting and the quality is unsurpassed. When 
Florida truck growers become more familiar with this 
splendid variety, it will be one of the most popular 
round-headed types grown. Pkt. 10c; oz. 25c; }4lb.
