sion type but is earlier, head is rounder, sets out 
of the under leaves higher, has a darker color of 
leaf and can be planted closer. Pkt., 10c; oz., 30c; 
J4 lb., 90c.

Early Dwarf Flat Dutch. 70 days. An early 
Cabbage of good size. Heads are flat and very 
solid. Pkt., 10c; oz., 20c; J4 lb., 75c. 
Copenhagen Market. 65 days. One of the 
finest early round-headed cabbages in cultivation. 
The heads average about four pounds each in 
weight, are hard and solid with small core. The 
quality is extra fine and sweet. It is a short stem- 
med variety, the heads nearly resting on the 
ground. The leaves are light green, rather small, 
saucer-shaped and tightly folded, making it pos¬ 
sible to set them close together in the field. Pkt., 
10c; oz., 35c; J4 lb., 85c. 
Golden Acre. 
Golden Acre. 62 days. We believe it is the earliest 
Cabbage in existence. The head begins to form when 
the leaves are no larger than a saucer and its growth 
may be observed almost from day to day. It is perfectly 
round and full grown measures 9 inches in diameter. 
The heads mature all at the same time. The plants can 
be set very close as there are only 12 leaves and these 
are very short. The stalk is less than 2 inches high. 
Pkt., 10c; oz., 40c; M lb., $1.00. 
Early Jersey Wakefield. 64 days. One of the most 
popular extra early varieties. The plants are compact, 
erect with few outer leaves and withstand cold and un¬ 
favorable weather well, as they are very hardy. Heads 
medium size, cone-shaped and solid. Our stock has been 
very carefully selected. Pkt., 10c; oz., 20c; M lb., 70c. 
Succession. 84 days. Splendid late summer variety. 
Heads large, flat, solid. Pkt., 10c; oz., 20c; J4 lb., 70c. 
Culture. Cabbage plants, when 
properly hardened by gradually being 
brought to a low temperature and the 
quantity of water in them diminished, 
will stand any frost and some con¬ 
siderable freezing. Yet a cabbage 
plant raised at a high temperature and 
full of water will be killed by even a 
light frost. Cabbage can be grown by 
planting the seed heavily where the 
crop is to grow and thinning the 
plants but a better practice is to raise 
the plants without crowding, in a 
seed bed, which is not richer than 
the fields to which the plants go. 
Transplant, if possible, on a cloudv 
day, watering the plants if the soil is 
dry. For early Cabbage, sow seed in 
hotbeds in February, transplant to 
cold frames in March and set outside 
in April or sow seed out-of-doors as 
soon as the soil can be worked in 
spring, covering the seed one-third 
inch deep. All vegetable plants are 
best when grown without check, so 
let as much soil adhere to the roots 
of the plant in transplanting as will 
hold and set up to the first leaf. At 
this time the plant should have 4 or 5 
pairs of leaves and be 4 to 6 inches 
high. Set small varieties to be 
worked by hand as close as 18 inches, 
while large, late varieties, horse culti¬ 
vated, need 30 or more inches. If 
heads are so early as to begin burst¬ 
ing, push the head to one side far 
enough to tear off the roots on &ne 
side. Cabbage grows successfully on 
a wide variety of soils and experi¬ 
ence points to liming, deep plowing 
and heavy manuring as successful 
practices.
