Cabbage is a good fall and winter 
crop for Florida and the south. In 
Florida, cabbage may be planted 
from August to March, but heaviest 
plantings are made in September 
and October. 
Culture. Cabbage is a heavy feeder and 
should be grown rapidly. Therefore, for 
best results, plenty of fertilizer should 
be used—not less than 1000 pounds per 
acre, and a ton is better. You cannot 
grow a big, heavy crop of Cabbage on a 
starvation ration. Where planted in seed¬ 
bed, which is the desirable and common 
practice, plant seed thin in drills 6 inches 
apart, cover 1 inch deep, using 6 ounces 
of seed for an acre of plants, and do not 
make the soil in seed-bed as rich as soil 
where plants are to be set. When seed is 
planted in field, use 12 ounces of seed 
per acre. Make rows 2% to 3 feet apart and set plants 12 to 15 inches apart in row, depending on size of head you wish to 
produce. If you desire small heads, crowd the plants; for large heads, place farther apart. 
Plant our Bred-Rite brands of Cabbage seed for results than cannot fail to satisfy. Kilgore’s Bred-Rite Cabbage seed has been 
developed and selected for uniformity, high yield, and trueness to type. Our Bred-Rita stocks are tested in our Plant City prov¬ 
ing grounds a season in advance. It is always advisable to treat cabbage seed with Semesan or some other good disinfectant 
before planting. 
For best results plant Kilgore’s Bred-Rite brands of cabbage seed. In planting Bred-Rite cabbage seed you take no chances 
because you are planting proved seed.
