8 VEGETABLE SEEDS 
The I. W. Scott Company, Pittsburgh, Pa, 
CABBAGE 
The chief requisites for growing Cabbage are rich soil and 
plenty of water. If your soil is hard and poor, add manure, the 
more the better, and dig it in thoroughly, making the surface as 
fine and mellow as possible. For early Cabbage, sow seed in 
hotbed or boxes indoors in January or early February. As trans¬ 
planting time approaches (about April 15) “harden” the plants 
by exposing them to the air on warm days so that cold weather 
or even a light frost will not injure them after they are set out. 
Start the second crop in March or April. Winter Cabbage is 
sown in early May and transplanted to the garden in July. 
Rows should be at least 2 feet apart, and plants from 1 X to 
2 feet apart in the rows, according to variety, the early sorts re¬ 
quiring less space than the large-heading winter Cabbages. 
Frequent doses of nitrate of soda will push the young plants 
along rapidly. The most troublesome pest is the green cabbage 
worm which, however, is easily controlled by dusting with Slug 
Shot or similar insecticides. Cultivation to keep down the weeds 
and preserve the moisture in the soil is important. Give water 
if necessary during the dry spells. 
An ounce of seed will produce 1,500 to 2,000 plants 
GOLDEN ACRE. A new early round-headed Cabbage, re¬ 
sembling Copenhagen Market, but a few days earlier. Earli¬

varieties. Pkt. 10 cts., oz. 35 cts., Xlb. $1, lb. $3. 
COPENHAGEN MARKET, SPECIAL STRAIN. The result of 
years of breeding by European growers and far superior to the

and of fine quality. It is a good keeper and is sometimes grown 
as a winter Cabbage. Pkt. 10c., oz. 35c., Xlb. $1, lb. $3.

salable. Pkt. 10 cts., oz. 35 cts., Xlb. 90 cts., lb. $2.50.
