Early Flat Dutch 
131— EARLY FLAT DUTCH.— This is one of the 
most profitable kinds for the market grower. Its 
good qualities and handsome appearance make it a 
good seller, while its ability to stand shipping and 
its enormous yield make it a favorite with the 
market growers. The heads are large, round, flat, 
solid and heavy.

132— WISCONSIN ALL SEASON. — This is a 
strain of All Season cabbage that has been bred 
by the Wisconsin Experiment Station to resist the 
blight or yellows. It is undoubtedly one of the 
best varieties for soils affected with yellows. Com¬ 
mercial growers will find this one of the safest 
sorts and home gardeners who have been making 
failures on account of 11 yellows ’ 1 should plant 
nothing else. It is a large, solid, flat head.

138— PERFECTION DRUMHEAD SAVOY.— The 
vitamin content of this cabbage is greater than 
that of any other variety and for this reason it is 
highly desirable. The heads are large, solid, and 
heavy, made up of thick crumpled leaves. The 
inner leaves blanch and are very tender. Eat 
Savoy cabbage for health, because they lead the 
vegetable list in vitamins.

Cabbaqe 
Sow the seed during the late winter or early 
spring in well-prepared and fertilized beds. To pre¬ 
pare the field for transplanting, apply a fertilizer 
containing Nitrogen 4%, Phosphoric Acid 7%, and 
Potash 9%, at the rate of from one to two thousand 
pounds per acre. This may be applied either broad¬ 
cast or in the rows. Prepare rows 2 y 2 to 3 feet 
apart and set the plants 18 to 24 inches apart in 
the row. Give frequent shallow cultivation, keep¬ 
ing the soil worked well up around the plants. An 
application of fertilizer will hasten the growth of 
the backward plants. Por winter cabbage, sow 
the seed in June or July. For extra early spring 
use, sow the seed in September or October, and 
transplant in the early winter. 
125— EARLY JERSEY WAKEFIELD.— This va¬ 
riety has been in cultivation for a long time and is 
now recognized as the earliest cabbage in cultiva¬ 
tion and one of the best. The heads are of medium 
size, compact, and pointed, with a fair proportion of 
outer leaves. The color is a rich deep green. It is 
a very quick grower maturing its heads about two 
weeks earlier than Charleston Wakefield or Copen¬ 
hagen Market. Further, it is hardy and will stand 
a great deal of frost and cold weather. In the 
South, the seed may be sowed the last of September 
and the young plants will go through the average 
winter and make cabbage for the extra early mar¬ 
ket in the spring.

126— LARGE or CHARLESTON WAKEFIELD 
This is a larger but a later variety of the Wake¬ 
field strain. It produces heads similar in shape to 
the Jersey Wakefield, but much larger, and it is 
about ten days later. The leaves are thick, and 
it will stand more cold weather than any other 
cabbage. 
Pkt. 5c, oz. 20c, % lb. 60c, lb. $1.75, postpaid. 
127— COPENHAGEN MARKET. — It matures 
uniformly and produces large, round, solid heads. 
Under test, we have planted this variety beside 
the Jersey Wakefield. The following spring we cut 
three average heads from each variety and weighed 
them. The Copenhagen Markets averaged from 1 
to IV 2 lbs. each heavier than the Jersey Wakefields.
