WOOD'S HIGH-GRADE CABBAGE 
PLANTING DATES (For the Vicinity of Richmond.) 
Spring - Planting'. —Plant the early varieties in boxes indoors or 
in hot bed in January, February or March: for a summer crop 
plant the early varieties outside from April to June. 
Winter Cabbage. —Plant the late varieties in April, May or June 
and transplant when large enough. 
FOR CABBAGE WORMS.—A mixture of equal parts of arsenate 
of lead and hydrated or air-slaked lime dusted on the cabbage at 
intervals as the heads are forming will kill the worm and will not 
impair the cabbage for human food. 
CULTURE.—When transplanting cabbage plants from the seed 
bed, set them in good rich soil that has been deeply dug and well 
manured and apply a fertilizer containing plenty of ammonia. 
The soil in the seed bed should not be richer than the soil where 
the plants are to grow, otherwise the growth will be checked. 
Set the plants as deep as the first leaf stems, give frequent and 
deep cultivation, drawing the earth to the plants at each working. 
Set the early varieties 18 inches apart in 2y 2 to 3 foot rows; the 
late varieties should be set 2 feet apart in 3 foot rows. 
One ounce will plant 100 feet of row and produce about 2,000 
plants; 6 to 8 ounces will make enough plants to set an acre. 
No. 90 Wood’s Extra Early 
The Earliest of All Cabbages^ [65 Days] 
— Whether you 
grow for home use 
or for market, you 
should have 
Wood’s Extra Ear¬ 
ly, for it is the 
earliest cabbage in 
cultivation and in 
every way one of 
the most desirable 
extra early varie¬ 
ties. Although pre¬ 
eminently an early 
cabbage it has size, 
for it is larger 
than the Jersey 
Wakefield, though 
not quite so solid, 
but fully a week 
earlier. The qual¬ 
ity is good, has 
few loose leaves, 
and nearly every 
plant forms a head. 
Hardy, resisting 
cold and unfavor¬ 
able conditions that 
often attend early 
plantings. Pkt. 10c; 
oz. 20 c; 2 ozs. 35c; ^4 lb. 60c; lb. $2.00, postpaid. Not postpaid, 2-lb.

No. 94 Wood's Charleston Wakefield 
Fine Size, Fine Quality, Uniform [75 Days] 
Sometimes called Long Island Wakefield. —Every gardener en- 
^ f , e ? li i ie of sec urity when he plants our selected Charleston 
Vv akefield, for it is a thoroughbred. About a week later than our 
Selected Jersey Wakefield, but considerably larger and heavier, 
just as solid, with less pointed and thicker heads. It has earli¬ 
ness, hardiness, fine size and fine quality. These are the out¬ 
standing traits of character that have made our Selected Charles¬ 
ton Wakefield so popular with Southern gardeners. Pkt. 5c; 
oz. 15c; 14 lb. 50c; lb. $1.75, postpaid. Not postpaid, 2-lb. lots $1.50

No. 91 Copenhagen Market 
Onr Stock was imported direct from Denmark, where it originated, 
and. where the finest strains are grown. [75 Days] 
A round headed cab¬ 
bage as early as 
Charleston Wakefield 
was unheard of until 
Copenhagen Market 
was intro¬ 
duced. In ad¬ 
dition to earli¬ 
ness it has re¬ 
markable size 
for so early a 
cabbage, the 
heads averag¬ 
ing 8 to 10 
lbs.; solid and 
compact, with 
few outside 
leaves, allow- 
in g close 
planting. 
Nearly round, 
tightly folded, and short stemmed. The quality is equal to that of 
any early cabbage, fine-grained and tender; the hearts are pure 
white. Pkt. 10c; oz. 20c; 2 ozs. 35c; ^4 lb. 60c; lb. $2.00, postpaid. 
Not postpaid, 2-lb. lots $1.70 per lb.; 5-lb. lots $1.60 per lb.; 10-lb. 
lots $1.50 per lb. 
No. 93 Wood's Selected Early Jersey 
Wakefield 
Extra Early, Sureheading and Solid [70 Days] 
More Than 100,000 Satisfied Planters Can Testify to 
the Fine Quality of Our Well-Bred Wakefield 
Earliness, hardiness, solidity, good size, uniformity, fine qual¬ 
ity —these characteristics go to make Wood’s Selected Early 
Jersey Wakefield the most universally planted of all early cab¬ 
bages. It is grown in nearly every garden in the South, and 
among market growers is planted almost entirely for the first 
early market. This universal popularity demands that more than 
ordinary attention be given to the selection of plants for breed¬ 
ing purposes, having in mind earliness, sureness to head, solidity 
and uniformity of growth and maturity. In our Wakefields this 
careful selection has been critical and continued through many 
years, and we believe we have as good and uniform a strain as 
can be had. Pkt. 5c; oz. 15c; J 4 lb. 50c; lb. $1.75, postpaid. 
Not postpaid, 2-lb. lots $1.50 per lb.; 5-lb. lots $1.25 per lb.; 10-lb. 
lots $1.10 per lb.
