SEED and PLANTS 
AMERICAN AND DANISH GROWN CABBAGE SEED 
CULTURE—Cabbage prefers cool moist climates and fairly heavy well drained loam soil. 
Seed for plants should be sown about the middle of February, depending on location. An 
ounce of seed will make around 2,000 plants. Plants for fall use may be started by sowing 
the seed outdoors in the latter part of May. 
By planting a number of different varieties-you can have cabbage at its best all season 
and for winter use as well.
