THE FRANK S. PLATT COMPANY’S 
Cabbage. 
Kopfkohe—Berza de Repeollo—Cappucie 
The Cabbage requires a deep, rich soil 
and thorough working. For early use the 
plants should be started in a hotbed or cold 
frame; but seed for winter cabbage should 
be sown in a seed bed for Connecticut the 
• last of May and transplanted when 4 to 6 
inches high. Some of the large 
late varieties seem to do well 
if the seed is sown in the hills 
where they are to remain, and 
in that case sow two or three 
seeds where each plant is de¬ 
sired, and then pull up all but 
the strongest. Plant the large 
varieties three feet apart; the 
small, early sorts from a foot 
to eighteen inches. The Savoy cabbages 
have crumpled leaves, and are of fine 
flavor, especially after a little frost has 
touched them in the autumn. 
EARLY JERSEY WAKEFIELD 
Golden Acre Cabbage. The earliest round 
headed cabbage, similar in type, somewhat 
smaller, and ten days earlier than Copenhagen 
Market. Price per pkt., 10c.; per oz., 40c.; per 
54-lb., $1.20; lb., $4.00. 
Copenhagen Market. Exceptionally hard and 
solid, round heads; average eight pounds each, of fine 
quality, few outer leaves, small core and nearly as early as 
Jersey Wakefield, with greater yield, also desirable for fall 
and early winter use. Our seed is grown for us in Denmark, 
where the finest stocks of Copenhagen Market Cabbage 
are produced. Price per pkt., 10c.; per oz., 30c.; per %-lb., 
90c.; per lb., $3.00. 
Early Jersey Wakefield. Heads very solid, pyramidal, blunted at the top. The best and most popular 
early pointed head. Our stock is especially bred for earliness and uniformity. Price per pkt., 10c.; per 
oz., 30c.; per %-lb., 90c.; per lb., $3.00. 
Charleston or Large Wakefield. Similar to Early Jersey Wakefield, but larger and a little later. Price 
per pkt., 10c.; per oz., 30c.; per %-lb., 90c.; per lb., $3.00. 
All Head Early. A large, flat, early summer variety of fine quality, good keeper if sown late. Price 
per pkt., 10c.; per oz., 30c.; per %-lb., 90c.; per lb., $3.00. 
All Seasons. The heads of this cabbage are large and thick through, a desirable sort for kraut. Price 
per pkt., 10c.; per oz., 25c.; per %-lb., 75c.; per lb., $2.50. 
Glory of Enkhuizen. An excellent, second early, two weeks later than Copenhagen Market. The 
large round, solid, very uniform head, with short stem and few outer leaves, allows close planting. It 
is a good cropper and adapted not only as a second early but for fall and early winter use. Price per 
pkt., 10c.; per oz., 25c.; per %-lb., 80c.; per lb, $2.75. 
Succession. A large, second early drumhead, sure heading sort for summer and fall use. Price per 
pkt., 10c.; per oz., 25c.; %-lb., 75c.; per lb., $2.50. 
Danish Ball Head. Medium stem. (Fine Danish-grown seed). Late, round, hard-headed; the longest 
keeper and finest quality. Seed should be sown two weeks earlier than for Flat Dutch or most other 
late. Per pkt., 10c.; per oz., 30c.; per %-lb., 90c.; per lb., $3.00. 
Premium Late Flat Dutch. Heads large, solid. A 
standard variety. Per pkt., 10c.; per oz., 25c.; per 
%-lb., 75c.; per lb., $2.50. 
SAVOY, OR CURLING VARIETIES. 
Perfection Drumhead Savoy. Reliable, large, round, 
late heading, densely crumpled. The Savoy Cabbage 
is of richer quality and should be more extensively 
grown. Takes about same time to make crop as the 
Danish Ball Head. Per pkt., 10c.; oz., 30c.; %-lb., 
90c.; lb, $3.00. 
RED VARIETIES. 
Mammoth Rock Red. Heads large, round and thick, 
very dark from surface to center. Sow seed same 
time as for Ball Head. Per pkt, 10c.; per oz, 30c.; 
per %-lb., 90c.; per lb, $3.00. 
CHINESE CABBAGE. 
Pe Tsai. Sometimes called Chinese celery cabbage, 
though resembling more nearly the Cos Lettuce; used 
as a salad or cooked as cabbage. Sow seed about 
July 1 in this latitude, as if sown early it runs to seed. 
Transplant to 12 inches apart in the row. Per pkt, 
10c.; per oz, 25c.; per %-lb., 75c.; per lb, $2.50,
