the land thoroughly and lay off the rows east and west 
three feet apart. Drill in the furrows 500 to 1,000 pounds of 
high grade fertilizer to the acre and mix well with the soil. 
Bed on this and then run a small furrow in the top of the 
bed. Set the plants in this open furrow 15 to 20 inches apart 
for Wakefield, Golden Acre and Copenhagen Market, an< 
24 inches for larger varieties. The plants should be set 
deep in the ground up to the first leaf to keep the stem from 
freezing. When the ground begins to get warm cultivate 
frequently and apply 200 pounds of nitrate of soda to the 
acre. 
VARIETIES 
EARLY JERSEY WAKEFIELD 
Many market gardeners consider this the very best cab 
bage in cultivation for early market, and is more largely 
grown than any oth¬ 
er early cabbage. Its 
m e r i t s are many, 
a m o n g which are 
uniformity in earli¬ 
ness and crop. The 
head is pointed in 
shape, of medium 
size, and is white, 
solid and tender. It 
is beyond question 
the best variety for 
early market and al¬ 
ways brings a good 
price on account of 
its earliness, thereby netting the grower large returns. Our 
strain of this variety is of the very best. 
CHARLESTON WAKEFIELD 
This is a selection of the Early Jersey Wakefield but 
makes a much larger head, and a week to ten days later 
It stands pre-eminent as the best spring cabbage for the 
South. It is probably more largely planted for shipment 
than any other variety. The heads are of uniform size, and 
maturity, and of very large size for an early cabbage. A 
strong favorite with Southern growers as a main crop. 
GOLDEN ACRE 
A selection of the Copenhagen Market with heads a 
little smaller but matures earlier. Earliest of the round 
head varieties. A splendid new variety becoming very popu
