the land thoroughly and lay off the rows east and west 
three feet apart. Drill in the furrows 500 to 1,000 pounds 
of high grade fertilizer to the acre and mix well with the 
soil. Bed on this and then run a small furrow in thei top 
of the bed. Set the plants in this open furrow 15 to 20 
inches apart for Wakefield, Golden Acre and Copenhagen 
Market, and 24 inches for larger varieties. The plants 
should be set deep in the ground up to the first leaf to keep 
the stem from freezing. When the ground begins to get 
warm cultivate frequently and apply 200 pounds of nitrate 
of soda to the acre. 
VARIETIES 
EARLY JERSEY WAKEFIELD 
Many market gardeners consider this the very best cab¬ 
bage in cultivation for early market, and is more largely 
grown than any oth¬ 
er early cabbage. Its 
merits are many, 
among which are 
uniformity in earli¬ 
ness and crop. The 
head is pointed in 
shape, of medium 
size, and is white, 
solid and tender. It 
is beyond question 
the best variety for 
early market and al¬ 
ways brings a good 
price on account of 
its earliness, thereby netting the grower large returns. Our 
strain of this variety is the very best. 
Pointed Head Type, Jersey Wakefield, 
Charleston Wakefield 
CHARLESTON WAKEFIELD 
This is a selection of the Early Jersey Wakefield but 
makes a much larger head, and a week to ten days later. 
It stands pre-eminent as the best spring cabbage for the 
South. It is probably more largely planted for shipment 
than any other variety. The heads are of uniform size, and 
maturity, and of very large size for an early cabbage. A 
strong favorite with Southern growers as a main crop. 
GOLDEN ACRE 
A selection of the Copenhagen Market with heads a 
little smaller but matures earlier. Earliest of the round 
head varieties. A splendid new variety becoming very popu¬ 
lar.
