CABBAGE- -Ready for Use in 75 to 210 Days 
We carry the finest strains of American grown cabbage seed. Market garden¬ 
ers can depend on plants from our seed. 
(1 oz. will produce 4000 plants.) 
CULTURE—Cabbage requires a rich moist heavy soil, and deep and frequent 
cultivation. For extra early use the seed may be sown in the fall during Septem¬ 
ber, and young plants protected through the winter in cold frames, or sow the 
seed during January or February, very thinly and shallow in hot-beds. When the 
young plants have reached sufficient size, gradually harden them off by admitting 
air freely. Transplant to the open ground as soon as the ground works up well. 
Plant one by two feet and cultivate every two weeks. For late use, sow the seed 
in fine soil during may or June. Sow the seed very thinly and not over one-fourth 
inch deep. Another easy method is to plant five or six seeds in a hill, then pull 
out all but the strongest plant.
