CABBAGE SEED 
CULTURE—Cabbage is a very gross feeder, and well repays heavy 
manuring and high culture. It succeeds best on well-drained soil. The 
plants are started in frame or seed bed, and afterwards transplanted. 
Seed for early cabbage may be started in autumn in a cold frame, 
or in early spring in a hotbed. For main crop, summer and autumn 
cabbage, the seed should be sown in a rich border in the open air, in 
May or June. Sow shallow; a packet will produce about 250 plants; 
an ounce 2,000 plants; *4 pound for an acre. Set plants IV 2 by 3 
feet apart. 
EARLY VARIETIES 
SECOND EARLY VARIETIES 
98— ALL HEAD EARLY ( 80 days)—The largest heading of the second 
early sorts, of excellent quality. The deep flat heads are remark¬ 
ably solid, and very uniform in size, of a very compact growth, hav¬ 
ing a few outer leaves; can be planted as close as the Wakefield.

101—EARLY FLAT DUTCH (90 days)—For a second early to follow 
Wakefield this is in every way satisfactory. A sure header, makes 
large, flat, solid heads that in point of quality are the equal of any. 
Has comparatively few outside leaves, the heads being large for the 
size of the plant. Plant it again in April or May for a summer crop. 
Pkt., 5c; 14 oz., 10c; oz., 20c; 2 ozs., 35c; 14 lb., 50c; lb., $1.15

good winter keeper; widely used for kraut; remarkably thrifty in 
hot dry weather. Heads large, commonly 10 to 11 inches across, 8 
inches deep and weigh 9 to 10 lbs.; of splendid quality.

91—SUCCESSION (85 days)—Long a favorite with Southern market 
gardeners and shippers. A good second early, following in maturity 
varieties like our All Head Early and Sure Head. Medium to large 
size, solid and a reliable header. 
Pkt., 5c; 14 oz., 10c; oz., 15c; 2 ozs., 25c; 14 lb., 50c; lb., $1.10 
86 — EARLY JERSEY WAKEFIELD (62 days) — A leading 
variety and one of the best for private or market gardeners’ 
use; conical shape.

87— CHARLESTON LARGE WAKEFIELD (73 days)—This is 
a few days later than the Early Jersey Wakefield, but makes 
a larger and firmer head. We strongly recommend it as the 
best main crop early cabbage grown, for the home garden 
and market. Our seed of this is grown from a specially 
selected stock. 
Pkt., 5c; 14 oz., 10c; oz., 20c; 2 ozs., 35c; 14 lb., 50c; lb., $1.15 
94—COPENHAGEN MARKET (73 days)—The earliest, large, round- 
headed cabbage yet introduced. The heads are round, very solid and 
exceptionally good quality. 
Pkt., 5c; 14 oz., 15c; oz., 25c; 2 ozs., 40c; 14 lb., 60c; lb., $1.25 
84—GOLDEN ACRE (65 days)—The outstanding new variety of to¬ 
day. Earliest round heading variety; extra early strain of Copen¬ 
hagen market type, maturing round, hard heads, slightly smaller, 
but about one week earlier than the best and earliest Copenhagen 
market. Small stalks and outer leaf growth, allowing close plant¬ 
ing; has a smoother and slightly greener leaf than Copenhagen, 
stands heavy manuring and makes on rich soil practically as large 
heads as Copenhagen. Heads of our Golden Acre are remarkably 
solid, of fine quality and with small core. It is a money maker for 
the shipper for highest early market prices, a fast seller because 
its size suits the small family and more are sold to larger families. 
Also fine for early home garden cabbage. 
Pkt., 5c; 14 oz., 15c; oz., 25c; 2 ozs., 45c; 14 lb., 60c; lb., $1.50 
CHINESE OR CELERY CABBAGE 
Has been used by the Chinese as a table vegetable and for a 
green poultry food for centuries—it will grow more tender green 
food than any greens of its class.
