MONARCH SEED AND FEED COMPANY, MEDFORD. OREGON

Cabbage 
CULTURE —The earliest cabbage may be enjoyed in May from seeds sown in the house or hot-bed. Early 
Jersey Wakefield matures in 62 days, and later varieties in 90 to 105 days. Both early and mid-season 
varieties should be started in house or hot-bed, and for late or fall varieties sow the seed in the seed bed 
in June and early July. Plenty of room should be given plants, at least two feet each way. They need a 
light and well watered soil, rich in nitrogen. Frequent applications of nitrate of soda or sulphate of 
ammonia or some other nitrogenous fertilizer will work wonders. Cabbage worms may be kept off by dust¬ 
ing with our Pestroy dust or spraying with arsenate of lead.
