CABBAGE 
Culture—The requisites for complete success are: 
First, good seed ; in this crop the quality of the seed 
used is of the greatest importance; no satisfactory 
results can possibly be obtained when poor seed is 
planted. Second, rich, well prepared ground. A heavy, 
moist and rich loam is most suitable. Third, frequent 
and thorough cultivation. The ground should be highly 
manured and worked deep. Cabbage is grown all over 
the country and specific directions regarding the time 
and methods of planting applicable to all localities 
cannot be given. In general, north of the 40th parallel 
the early sorts should be sown very early in hotbeds, 
hardened off by gradually exposing them to the night 
air and transplanted as early as the ground is in good 
condition, setting eighteen to thirty-six inches apart, 
according to size and variety. South of the 40th paral¬ 
lel, sow about the middle of September, or later, 
according to latitude, transplanting into cold frames 
if necessary to keep through winter and setting in 
open ground as early as possible in the spring. 
The late autumn and winter varieties may be sown 
from the middle to the last of spring and transplanted 
when four to six inches high. If the weather and soil 
is dry, the late sowing should be shaded and watered 
in order to hasten germination, but it is important 
that the plants should not be shaded or crowded in 
the seed bed, or they will run up weak and slender 
and will not endure transplanting well. 
All Seasons —Heads large, round and very deep; 
can be planted for early or late crop; a splendid 
keeper; in season a late second early, coming in with 
Early Flat Dutch ; a favorite with kraut manufacturers. 
Per pkt. 5c; oz. 25c; X A lb. 75c; lb., $2.50, postpaid 
Baby Head—Of unusual merit. The beautiful little 
round heads are "solid as a rock” and weigh from three 
to six pounds, just a right size for family use. 
EARLY JERSEY WAKEFIELD 
Early Jersey Wakefield—The best first-early oblong¬ 
headed cabbage. The heads are uniformly hard and 
solid. They are pyramidal in form, generally pointed 
at the end, with but few outside leaves. The outer 
leaves are unusually thick and heavy, and it is thereby 
enabled to stand more cold weather without injury 
when carried through the winter. 
Per pkt. 5c; oz. 20c; % lb. 60c; lb. $2.00, postpaid 
Charleston Large Wakefield—About one week later 
than Early Jersey Wakefield, but the conical heads are 
fully one-half larger. 
Per pkt. 5c; oz. 25c; X A lb. 75c; lb. $2.50, postpaid 
Early Winnigstadt—This suffers less from insects 
than any other early cabbage. The heads are of the 
same size as the Jersey Wakefield. 
Per pkt. 5c; oz. 25c, postpaid 
Early Flat Dutch—Earlier and heads somewhat 
smaller than Late Flat Dutch; a good short stemmed 
early. Pkt. 5c; oz. 30c; lb. $1.00 
CUPROCIDE Seed Protec¬ 
tion as low as He per pound 
Copenhagen Market 
Copenhagen Market —Very fine, nearly as early as 
Jersey Wakefield; stem short, heads large, round and 
solid, with few outer leaves of an upright growth. 
Our stock of this popular variety is very early, uni¬ 
form and dependable. 
Per pkt. 5c; oz. 25c, postpaid; % lb. 75c; per lb. $2.50 
Golden Acre —An extra early selection of the Copen¬ 
hagen type, and the earliest of the round headed 
cabbages, maturing with Jersey Wakefield. Plant 
small, dwarf and compact, with few outer leaves ; 
heads of medium size, round as a ball, solid and very 
uniform. 
Price: Per pkt. 10c; 1 oz. 35c; X A lb. $1.00; lb. $3.00, 
postpaid. 
Glory of Enkhuizen —Excellent medium early, short¬ 
stemmed variety, maturing ten days earlier than Dan¬ 
ish Round Head. Heads large, round, very solid, with 
few outer leaves. One of the most satisfactory for 
kraut making. Per pkt. 5c; oz. 30c; % lb. 90c 
SAVOY CABBAGE 
or CURLED LEAF 
Characterized by dark green, heavily crimped, curled, 
or savoyed leaves. The flavor is far superior to other 
sorts, especially after being touched by frost. In de¬ 
mand as a Winter Cabbage. 
Perfection Drumhead Savoy Wirsing—This is the 
hardest heading and best all-around Savoy. Plants are 
of strong growth, having only a moderate amount of 
outer foliage growing closely about the large solid 
round heads. Heads beautifully blanched and of the 
finest flavor. Per pkt. 5c; oz. 20c; X A lb. 60c; lb. $2.00
