ISBELL SEED COMPANY 
CABBAGE 
Isbell’s 
Surehead 
GOOD SEED is of the utmost importance in all crops, and no 
doubt it has a greater effect on the final outcome of the Cabbage 
crop than any other. In buying Isbell’s strains of Cabbage you 
take the first step in the right direction. 
Cabbage requires rich, deep, mellow soil, high manuring and 
good culture to obtain fine, solid heads and a big crop. For 
Cabbage worms dust with “Slug Shot”, using the Feeny Duster 
(See page 100). For Cabbage lice use “Ever Green.” 
One ounce of seed produces 2,500 to 3,000 plants; 4 ounces will 
grow enough plants to set one acre.
