THE FRANK S. PLATT COMPANY’S 
Cabbage. 
Kopfkohe—Berza de Repeollo—Cappucie 
The Cabbage requires a deep, rich soil and thorough working. For early use the plants should be 
started in a hotbed or cold frame; but seed for winter cabbage should be sown in a seed bed for 
Connecticut the last of May and transplanted when 4 to 6 inches high. Some of the large late 
varieties seem to do well if the seed is sown in the hills where they are to remain, and in that case 
sow two or three seeds where each plant is desired, and then pull up all but the strongest. Plant 
the large varieties three feet apart; the small, early sorts from a foot to eighteen inches. The Savoy 
cabbages have crumpled leaves, and are of fine flavor, especially after a little frost has touched them 
in the autumn. 
Golden Acre Cabbage. The earliest round headed 
cabbage, similar in type, somewhat smaller, and 
ten days earlier than Copenhagen Market. Price 
per pkt., 10c.; per oz., 40c.; per Ft-lb., $1.20; per 
lb., $4.00. 
Copenhagen Market. Exceptionally hard and 
solid, round heads; average eight pounds each, of 
fine quality, few outer leaves, small core and 
nearly as early as Jersey Wakefield, with greater

Y\.-\b., 80c.; per lb.. $2.75.

SAVOY, OR CURLING VARIETIES.

round, late heading, densely crumpled. The Savoy 
Cabbage is of richer quality and should be more 
extensively grown. Takes about same time to

$3.00.

DANISH BALL HEAD CABBAGE 
Glory of Enkhuizen. An excellent, second early, 
two weeks later than Copenhagen Market. The

stem and few outer leaves, allows close planting. 
It is a good cropper and adapted not only as a 
second early but for fall and early winter use. 
CHINESE CABBAGE.

bage, though resembling more nearly the Cos 
Lettuce; used as a salad or cooked as cabbage.

early it runs to seed. Transplant to 12 inches apart 
in the row. Price per pkt., 10c.; per oz., 20c.; 
per b., 65c.; per lb., $2.25.
