CABBAGE 
CULTURE—Early varieties should be started in cold frame in January and February, or sowed the 
fall previous. They can be grown in a hot bed, but this is not so good, as the plants become tender. The 
earliest cabbage can be grown by sowing the seed in August or early September, then transplant to the field 
m October. For late, plant in open ground May 1st, transplant June 15 for fall, and July 1st to 20th 
for winter cabbage, in rows 3% feet apart, from 25 to 42 inches in the row, according to the richness of 
the soil, size and variety. Do not crowd them. They do best in rich, loamy soil, fertilized with barnyard 
kmd and aPP 1 ^ 11 ^ our Garden Grow fertilizer as directed. Early Jersey Wakefield, Large 
Wakefield, Super Early, Danish Roundhead, All Head Early and Oregon Ballhead can be sown in the 
fall for spring and summer cutting. They seldom run to seed. 
,, .. PRICE S ON CABBAGE SEED are uniformly as follows, unless otherwise noted: Pkt. 5c: oz. 30c: 
Vk lb. $1.00; lb. $3.00; postpaid. 
GOLDEN ACRE—It is claimed to be the earliest 
round headed cabbage and that it matures before 
Early Jersey Wakefield. The heads are firm with 
few outer leaves and average about four pounds. 
Pkt. 10c; oz. 45c; *4 lb. $1.25; lb. $4.25. 
LOUISIANA COPENHAGEN—Matures about one 
week earlier than Copenhagen market. The plants 
are very uniform developing medium sized heads 
that are very compact and of excellent quality. 
Pkt. 10c; oz. 45c; % lb. $1.25; lb. $4.25. 
COPENHAGEN MARKET — Good sized, round 
heads, maturing with Large Wakefield, usually 
weighing 5 to 8 pounds. 
SOLID SUMMER—A new second early main crop 
cabbage for market or kraut. In season it matures 
between Copenhagen Market and Glory of Enkhui- 
zen. Extra solid, round deep heads that stand long 
without cracking. The originator claims it out- 
yields Glory of Enkhuizen. Pkt. 10c; y 2 oz. 40c; 
oz. 75c; ^4 lb. $2.25; lb. $7.50. 
GLORY OF ENKHUIZEN—The best variety for 
summer or fall crops, for its tendency is to produce 
large heads even in dry weather. It can also be 
used for early spring crop. It is not satisfactory 
as a winter cabbage. Very brittle and sweet. 
ALL HEAD EARLY—A second early, flat headed 
sort, very sure heading and little subject to burst¬ 
ing. Extra fine for kraut. Very desirable for fall. 
DANISH ROUNDHEAD—About two weeks earlier 
than Oregon Ballhead. The heads are larger and 
in demand for kraut purposes. It does not with¬ 
stand aphis or freezing like Oregon Ballhead. Seed 
from carefully selected heads. 
AMERICAN SAVOY—The best main crop Savoy 
cabbage; quite firm, large heads with curly foliage. 
SUPER EARLY—Earliest of the pointed head 
cabbages. Medium sized heads, firm and of good 
quality. Pkt. 10c; oz. 40c; % lb. $1.20; lb. $4.00. 
♦EARLY JERSEY WAKEFIELD SPECIAL—This 
old favorite is still the most valuable for the main 
crop of early cabbage. We have secured a special 
strain with solid heads and few outside leaves. 
It also matured the earliest of some twenty strains 
we tested. Pkt. 5c; oz. 40c; *4 lb. $1.20; lb. $4.00. 
BIG STRAIN WAKEFIELD—Larger than Early 
Jersey Wakefield and one week later. Valuable crop 
to precede Charleston Wakefield. Pkt. 10c; oz. 40c; 
% lb. $1.20; lb. $4.00. 
LARGE WAKEFIELD or CHARLESTON—Sim¬ 
ilar to Jersey Wakefield, but half again as large 
and ten days later. 
Cabbage, Gill’s Oregon Ballhead 
•GILL’S OREGON BALLHEAD—The acknow¬ 
ledged leader among Northwest growers for a main 
crop winter cabbage. We have developed this strain 
until it excels all others for solidity, resistance 
to aphis or freeze injury. It is unquestionably the 
best cabbage for crating or general market pur¬ 
poses. The outer leaves are deep green and will 
hold their color weeks after cutting. It is the 
best keeper of all, and every plant will head solid 
if given half a show. It will stand later planting 
than any winter sort, and still produce solid heads. 
More of our seed, of this variety, is planted in the 
Northwest than any other kind for winter cabbage. 
Pkt. 10c; oz. 50c; *4 lb. $1.50; lb. $5.00. 
DANISH BALLHEAD (Shortstem) — Imported 
seed of the short stem type. It matures earlier than 
Oregon Ballhead. Medium sized, solid heads. 
DANISH BALLHEAD (Tall Stem)—Imported seed 
of the tall stem type. Suitable for low, wet land. 
STONEHEAD RED—Deep red, solid heads, re¬ 
sembling Oregon Ballhead in shape. Exceptionally 
solid and of good size.

CAULIFLOWER 
CULTURE—For early cauliflower, the same culture as for early cabbage may be used. For late 
cauliflower, in the description of the varieties offered, the time of planting seed and plants is given. 
Cauliflower does best in a rich, loamy soil, not a cold, wet location. Plant 2% to 3 Vz feet in rows, and 
3 y<t feet between rows. As soon as the heads are large enough to soon be exposed to the light, tie or 
break the leaves carefully over the head to keep the light away from them. Great care should be used in 
growing plants of any of the early sorts, that they receive no severe check in their growth, as this will 
cause them to produce premature heads. Success can be had with early varieties by planting the seed in 
the field where they are to grow, even as late as July 10. However, the soil should be thoroughly prepared 
and several seeds put in a hill, thinning down to one plant when they have reached transplanting size. 
HENDERSON SNOWBALL — A very popular 
Snowball type extensively grown for shipping in 
the Portland territory. Reselected to produce ex¬ 
ceptionally white, solid heads well protected with 
foliage. We recommend this strain for shipping. 
Pkt. 15c; % oz. 65c; oz. $2.00; % lb. $6.00; lb.

even surface. This is one of the best commercial 
strains and is very popular in the Portland ship¬ 
ping district. Pkt. 15c; *4 oz. 65c; oz. $2.00; % lb. 
$6.00; lb. $22.00.
