Culture. —Sow early kinds in hotbeds in February and March, and in the open 
ground during April and May. Late varieties for fall and winter use should also be 
sown in May. Early sorts may be planted in rows 2 feet apart, with 20 inches between 
plants in the row; late kinds should stand at least 2 feet each way. To be well grown 
Cabbages require a deep, rich, loamy soil, but should it be too rich some late 
kinds may show signs of bursting. If this occurs, push the plants over to one 
side and so check their growth. 
Retains all the characteristics of the Improved Early Jersey 
Wakefield with the added advantage of greater size. Pkt.

EARLY AND MIDSEASON 
S. & W. Co.’s Famous Early Conical. 
Fungous spores may occasionally be carried on the seed-coats, but in the major¬ 
ity of cases club-root and other troubles are caused by growing Cabbages in in¬ 
fected soil. Growers of Cabbage in quantity are advised to sterilize their seed 
before sowing by dusting with “Semesan” powder. Place the Cabbage seed in a 
jar with a small quantity of the preparation and shake vigorously for several 
minutes. In the field, crop rotation is recommended, and the land regularly limed.

solid. When ready for cutting, Copenhagen Market is the heaviest 
of the extra-early varieties, and if left until fully mature, frequently 
weighs 8 to 10 pounds. The leaves are small, compact and close to
