"Pure and Sure" Seeds—ST. LOUIS SEED COMPANY 
Cabbage 
One ounce will produce about 2000 plants; 14 lb. seed in beds will produce plants for one acre. 
Culture: Sow the early kinds in hotbeds in February and March, and in the open ground in April and 
May. The late varieties for fall and winter use sow in May, and transplant from the 8th to the 25th 
of July. Plant the early sorts 20 inches distant in a row and 2 feet between the rows; the later sorts 
2 % feet each way. To be well grown, Cabbages require a deep, rich loamy soil. Our Cabbage seed is 
especially grown for us, and we offer it as being of superior quality. (Varieties marked (*) best for 
Home Garden). 
Early Varieties 
* All Season or Surehead. 85 days. The name 
best describes this variety as it is sure-headed, 
of the flat Dutch type of heads and a first class 
main crop. The heads are very large, extremely 
hard and solid. Pkt., 10c; oz., 20c; % lb., 65c: 
1 lb., $2.00. 
Charleston or Large Wakefield. 70 days. The 
exceeding hardiness and size of this first early

cially recommended for succession to follow Jer¬ 
sey Wakefield. Pkt., 10c; oz., 20c; 14 lb., 65c; 
1 lb., $2.00. 
* Copenhagen Market. 65 days. A perfect, tight¬ 
ly folded head averaging 5 to 8 pounds in 
weight. The compact growth of the plant, the 
solidity of the head, its excellent flavor, and ex¬ 
treme earliness—all combine to make Copen¬ 
hagen Market one of the most popular early 
Cabbages. Pkt., 10c; 14 oz., 15c; oz., 25c; 14 lb.,

Late Varieties 
American King. 100 days. Mammoth solid heads,
