Cabbage—Selected Strains 
Many inferior strains of Cabbage are otrered on the market at low prices because prices on the 
super-selected strains seem high. However, in Cabbage seed, the best is the cheapest in the long run. 
Therefore, we offer only the highest Quality that it is possible to obtain from the most reliable 
growers. 
CULTURE —Sow the seed of early varieties in hot beds or boxes indoors in February and March, transplant¬ 
ing to the open ground in April and May at which time seed of the mid-season variet ies may be sown for later 
transplanting. Seed of the late varieties should be sown in good garden ground early in May and transplanted 
later. Cabbage should stand 18 to 24 inches apart in rows 30 to 3(i inches apart. Cabbage should be thoroughly 
cultivated throughout the season. 
QUANTITY OF SEED. An ounce should produce about 2,500 plants, ]4 lb. enough for one acre.

popular of the pointed heads. It forms an edible 
Early Jersey Wakefield head very early, about the same as Golden Acre in 
season. The absence of large spreading outer 
leaves allows close planting so many heads can be grown in small space. Has a pleasing 
flavor, distinct from the round head varieties and we strongly recommend it for the home 
garden. Pkt. 5c; oz. 20c; *4 lb. 60c; lb. $2.00.

Many Inferior strains of Cauliflower are offered 
on the market because prices of the best super- 
selected strains seem high. However in Cauli¬ 
flower seed, the best is by far the cheapest in the 
long run and we offer you only the best that our 
growers can produce. We could have Cauliflower 
seed grown for us at half the prices but you would 
not get half as good results. 
CULTURE— Cauliflower is grown much the same 
way as early Cabbage, the seeds started in hotbeds or 
boxes in February or early March. An extra transplant¬ 
ing into other boxes or cold frames before setting out¬ 
doors is beneficial. In these set 2 inchesaparteach way.

and tie together to protect from the hot sun.
