NICHOLSON'S 
FROST-PROOF CABBAGE 
PLANTS 
Our Cabbage Plants are grown from the 
best seed and in a section where they have 
low temperature in early spring, which makes 
them hardy and frost proof and they will 
usually live at any temperature exceeding 20 
degrees above zero; however, frost proof does 
not mean freeze proof. 
When the plants come to you they may 
look wilted and leaves have a brownish red 
look, as though they were dead, but don’t 
bother about the appearance; plant all of 
them just the same. Place them in the 
ground a month before you would set out 
home grown plants. 
Orders for plants will be shipped in about 
four or five days after they are received if 
weather conditions permit. If plants do not 
arrive as soon as you expect them you may 
know that conditions beyond our control are 
causing the delay. If the plants cannot be 
set out the same day they are received, take 
them out of the package at once, dip the 
roots in water and heel out in the ground. 
From the first of November until the last of 
May, we offer the following well known va¬ 
rieties: Early Jersey Wakefield, Stein’s Early 
Flat Dutch or Succession. Prices by parcel

SEED IRISH POTATOES 
There is as much difference between certi¬ 
fied and uncertified Potatoes as there is be¬ 
tween pedigreed stock and scrub stock. 
Certified Potatoes must pass through field 
inspection by the Department of Agriculture 
and must be true to variety, type and free 
from wart, powdery scab and late blight. It 
pays to plant Certified Seed Potatoes. 
They should also be treated with Semesan 
Bel before planting. 
CERTIFIED TRIUMPHS. Ask for prices. 
CERTIFIED IRISH COBBLERS. Ask for 
prices. 
SEED SWEET POTATOES 
We can supply Certified Porto Rico Yams 
that have been especially seeded and grown 
for seed purposes. When planting cover 
above five inches deep and water moderately. 
When plants are formed set one foot apart 
on ridges four feet apart, well drawn up and 
rather flat. Cultivate well. Please ask for 
prices. 
RAISE EARLY ONIONS 
FROM NICHOLSON'S 
ONION PLANTS 
For those who desire an early crop, either 
for table use or for local marketing, these 
plants will prove most desirable, and the fact 
that they are inexpensive and call for the 
minimum of labor and trouble in producing 
the crop has created an ever-increasing de¬ 
mand for them. They may be set out at the 
same time you would plant sets or cabbage 
plants. Plant in rows about 15 inches apart 
and 3 to 4 inches apart in row. 
We can supply the following varieties: 
YELLOW BERMUDA. A light straw col¬ 
ored Onion, which compares with the Bermu¬ 
da in mildness of flavor and for this reason 
it is extensively planted, especially in the 
South, where it reaches perfection. 
CRYSTAL WHITE WAX BERMUDA. Un¬ 
questionably the most attractive Onion in the 
world. It is an absolutely pure white, with 
a most beautiful waxy appearance that makes 
it sell on sight in all markets. No other 
Onion has such a clear white skin, such 
mildness of flavor. It is deliciously tender 
and can be eaten raw like an apple. A large 
yielder. 
Price, 20c per 100; 35c per 200; 75c per 
500; $1.35 per 1000, postpaid. Not prepaid, 
$1.00 per 1000. Ask for prices on larger 
quantities.

NOTICE 
Cabbage and Onion Plants 
In some instances, account of bad weather 
or other causes, we ship the above plants to 
you direct from our growing station. So, in 
case your plants do not arrive with your order 
for seed, you may expect them a few days 
later. 
TREAT YOUR POTATOES WITH 
SEMESAN BEL BEFORE PLANTING 
The modern surperior way of disin¬ 
fecting seed Potatoes is with Semesan 
Bel, the instantaneous dip, easily used 
without expensive equipment. It does 
away with long-time soaking of the 
seed and effectively coats them with 
a disinfectant which commonly re¬ 
mains on the seed piece throughout 
the season. Write for Semesan Bel 
Potato Booklet.
