CATALOGUE OF CHOICE GARDEN SEEDS 
CABBAGE 
Culture .— Soil for Cabbage should be rich and 
heavy loam, with good drainage. On such a soil,' 
with an abundance of stable manure, excellent] 
crops are sure to be grown. For early spring sow 
in fall, not too early, or the plants are liable to 
bolt in the spring instead of heading. In a month 
the plants will be fit to transplant to cold-frames, 
where they are wintered, taking care in planting 
to set the young plants down to the first leaves. 
Transplant in spring as soon as the ground can be 
worked, setting the plants 2 feet apart one way 
and from 12 to 18 inches the other, according to 
the variety. If it is desirable to economize space, 
lettuce or radish may be sown between the rows 
as they will be out of the way before the Cabbage, 
needs the room. For late or winter crops the 
seed is sown in May and the plants set out in 
July. In this case they are set in rows 2x3 feet, 
so as to work them with a horse and cultivator. 
One ounce will produce 3,000 plants; 
4 ounces for one acre Danish Ballhead 
EXCEPTIONALLY FINE SORTS 
NEW GOLDEN ACRE 
A wonderfully fine extra early, round headed variety which has quickly become popular in all localities shipping 
early cabbage. The plant is small, very compact with few outer leaves; head of good size and very solid. 
COPENHAGEN MARKET 
Undoubtedly the most valuable cabbage of recent introduction, maturing but a few days later than Jersey 
Wakefield and is valuable for both home and market garden. Plants are vigorous but compact in growth, with a 
short stem and few outer leaves, producing exceptionally large, round, solid, white heads. Our stock of this variety 
is unsurpassed.

early northern markets. Plants exceedingly hardy, with a short stem; heads of medium size, very solid, uniformly 
pointed and excellent quality. We have a superior, early strain of this variety. 
DANISH BALLHEAD 
More largely grown for winter storage than any other sort, and the most desirable. Plants very hardy, vigorous

uniform and dependable.
