The cabbage is one of the most important vegetables, and some of its varieties are universally 
cultivated. The ground must be highly manured, deeply dug or plowed, and thoroughly worked, to 
Insure good, full-sized heads. A heavy, moist and fresh loam is the most suitable. The early sorts 
should be sown very early in the spring in hotbeds, or later in the open ground. Eighteen inches 
by three feet apart is the common distance. 
One ounce will produce about 3,000 plants; 4 to 5 ounces to the acre. 
All Seasons. Larger than Henderson’s Early Summer, nearly as early; very 
solid and sure heading . 
COPENHAGEN MARKET. One of the best large, round head, early cabbages in 
cultivation, the type being thoroughly fixed and nearly all the heads maturing 
at the same time. The plant is short-stemmed; heads, set near the ground, 
are very solid, with a small core, and of fine quality. One of the very best 
early cabbages for market gardeners. 
Danish Ball Head. (Imported.) Heads round and solid. A good winter variety. 
DANISH BALL HEAD. (Cape Elizabeth grown.) A valuable, round, solid 
winter variety. Is a long keeper, and profitable for shipping, keeping long 
after other sorts have gone. This particular strain is the result of years of 
selection, and is in great demand by those who appreciate the best. The slight 
increase in price over the regular seed is more than offset by the increased 
yield .. 
Early Jersey Wakefield. A standard early variety for home use or market. 
Heads somewhat pointed . 
Extra Early Copenhagen Market. An improvement on the Copenhagen Market, 
being equally good and earlier. 
Golden Acre. The earliest round-headed variety. (See specialties, page 18) .... 
Henderson’s Early Summer. One of the earliest of large cabbages, coming in but 
a few days later than the Wakefield; heads of large size, very solid and 
compact . 
Improved American Savoy. Very sweet and tender; good-sized, firm heads; very 
reliable and much esteemed for family use... 
Mammoth Red Rock. Used almost exclusively for pickling . 
Pe-Tsai (Chinese Cabbage). Grows similar to Cos lettuce .
