ISBELL’S CABBAGE SEED 
CULTURE.—In general, the dates given below are 
correct for the Northern and Central States. 
For early rise, sow seeds of the early kinds in the 
hotbeds or in a box in the house during February and 
up to March 10th; transplant to the open ground in 
April, in rows 2 feet apart and 18 inches in the row; 
or sow a bed of seed outside as soon as the soil 
can be worked. Transplant in about four weeks. 
For second early Cabbage, sow in April and 
transplant in May. For late Cabbage, sow in 
May and transplant June 15th to July 5th in 
rows 3 feet apart and 2 feet in the row. In 
transplanting, it is important that plants be set 
down to the first leaf. Liming the soil will in¬ 
crease your crop. For Cabbage Worms dust with 
“Slug Shot,” using the Feeny Duster (see page 
99). For Cabbage Lice use “Ever Green.” 
EARLY VARIETIES 
Isbell’s New 1936 Early Cabbage 
The Earliest Round-Head Cabbage. 
After many years of breeding work, our Danish grower 
has developed an extra early round-head Cabbage that we 
consider the very best early sort for market and the home 
garden. Fine large heads of nearly globe shape and great 
uniformity to type. Every head in the field is of the same 
size and matures at the same time. The plants are of 
compact growth, the heads very firm and heavy, averaging 
about 8 pounds in weight. It is the best keeper of the 
early sorts. Isbell’s 1936 Early Cabbage is fully as early 
as the Wakefield types and the heads are much larger. 
For the market gardener this variety is a real money¬ 
maker and will bring repeat business on account of the 
superior quality and the fine flavor. Finest Danish grown 
seed. Pkt., 10c; oz., 30c; % lb., $1.00; lb., $3.50, prepaid.
