CATALOGUE OF CHOICE GARDEN SEEDS 
Cabbage 
Culture. —Soil for Cabbage should be rich 
and heavy loam, with good drainage. On 
such a soil, with an abundance of stable 
manure, excellent crops are sure to be 
grown. For early spring sow in fall, not too 
early, or the plants are liable to bolt in the 
spring instead of heading. In a month the 
plants will be fit to transplant to cold- 
frames, where they are wintered, taking 
care in planting to set the young plants 
down to the first leaves. Transplant in 
spring as soon as the ground can be worked, 
setting the plants 2 feet apart one way 
and from 12 to 18 inches the other, accord¬ 
ing to the variety. If it is desirable to 
economize space, lettuce or radish may be 
sown between the rows as they will be out 
of the way before the Cabbage, needs room. 
For late or winter crops the seed is sown 
in May and the plants set out in July. In 
this case they are set in rows 2x3 feet, 
so as to work them with a horse and 
cultivator.

Exceptionally Fine Sorts

A wonderfully fine extra early, round headed variety which has quickly become popular in all lo¬ 
calities shipping early cabbage. The plant is small, very compact with few outer leaves; head of good 
size and very solid.

variety.

tionally solid. Our stock is very uniform and dependable.
