Golden Acre. 62 days. We believe it is the 
earliest Cabbage in existence. The head begins 
to form when the leaves are no larger than a 
saucer and its growth may be observed almost 
from day to day. It is perfectly round and full 
grown and measures 9 inches in diameter. The 
heads mature all at the same time. The plants 
can be set very close as there are only 12 leaves 
and these are very short. The stalk is less than 
2 inches high. Pkt., 10c; oz., 40c; M lb., #1.00. 
Early Jersey Wakefield. 64 days. One of the 
most popular extra early varieties. The plants 
are compact, erect with few outer leaves and 
Succession. 84 days. Splendid late summer variety. Heads 
large, flat, solid. Pkt., 10c; oz., 20c; M lb., 70c. 
Early Dwarf Flat Dutch. 70 days. An early Cabbage of 
good size. Heads are flat and very solid. Pkt., 10c; oz., 20c; 
M lb., 75c. 
Copenhagen Market. 65 days. One of the finest early 
round-headed cabbages in cultivation. The heads average 
about four pounds each in weight, are hard and solid 
with small core. The quality is extra fine and sweet. It is a 
short stemmed variety, the heads nearly resting on the 
ground. The leaves are light green, rather small, saucer' 
shaped and tightly folded, making it possible to set them 
close together in the field. Pkt., 10c; oz., 35c; M lb., 85c. 
withstand cold and unfavorable weather well, 
as they are very hardy. Heads medium size, 
cone'shaped and solid. Our stock has been 
very carefully selected. Pkt., 10c; oz., 20c; 
M lb., 70c. 
Culture. Cabbage plants, when properly hardened by 
gradually being brought to a low temperature and the 
quantity of water in them diminished, will stand any 
frost and some considerable freezing. Yet a cabbage 
plant raised at a high temperature and full of water will 
be killed by even a light frost. Cabbage can be grown by 
planting the seed heavily where the crop is to grow and 
thinning the plants but a better practice is to raise the 
plants without crowding, in a seed bed, which is not 
richer than the fields to which the plants go. Transplant, 
if possible, on a cloudy day, watering the plants if the 
soil is dry. For early Cabbage, sow seed in hotbeds in 
February, transplant to cold frames in March and set out¬ 
side in April or sow seed out-of-doors as soon as the soil 
can be worked in spring, covering the seed one-third 
inch deep. All vegetable plants are best when grown 
without check, so let as much soil adhere to the roots 
of the plant in transplanting as will hold and set up 
to the first leaf. At this time the plant should have 
4 or 5 pairs of leaves and be 4 to 
6 inches high. Set small varieties 
to be worked by hand as close as 
18 inches, while large, late varie¬ 
ties, horse cultivated, need 30 
or more inches. If heads are so 
early as to begin bursting, push 
the head to one side far enough 
to tear off the roots on one side. 
Cabbage grows successfully on a 
wide variety of soils and experi¬ 
ence points to liming, deep plow¬ 
ing and heavy manuring as suc¬ 
cessful practices. 
NOTE. The number of days 
given in our descriptions is the 
time required from setting plants 
to mature heads. 
Leonard’s Cabbage Seed has been used by many of 
the largest kraut packers, market gardeners and home 
gardeners for many years with perfect satisfaction. 
For the home gardener we recommend Golden Acre 
or Copenhagen Market followed by Glory of Enkhuizen 
and Leonard’s Holland.
