CABBAGE 
PURE SELECTED-HIGH GERMINATION 
Cabbage is one of our Specialties—we sell only 
the Best of Seed. 
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 September, and young plants protected 
through the winter in cold frames, or sow the seed during Janu¬ 
ary or February, very thinly and shallow in hotbeds. 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; prepare the soil to a good 
depth, making it loose and fine. Plant one by two feet and cul¬ 
tivate every two weeks. For late use sow the seed in the fine 
soil during May or June. Sow the seed very thinly and not over 
one-fourth inch deep. The plants become weak and slender when 
sown thickly. When large enough, set out 15 inches apart in 
rows 3 feet apart, and cultivate every week. Another easy meth¬ 
od vs to plant five or six seeds in a hill where they are to re¬ 
main; after the plants have made three or four leaves pull out 
all but the strongest plant. When insects appear, dust with Slug 
Shot or similar preparation. 
Early Jersey Wakefield— 
One of the best extra early 
varieties. As sure as it is 
early. These two qualities 
make it a favorite with 
gardeners. The heads are 
solid and of excellent qual¬ 
ity and are capable of re¬ 
sisting early frosts. Pkt.,

Golden Acre Cabbage —This excellent new variety is the eari- 
est round headed Cabbage. It will mature at least seven days 
ahead of the earliest strains of Jersey Wakefield, considered 
the standard early of the country. The heads of Golden Acre 
Cabbage are perfectly round, firm, and of exceptionally fine 
texture, heavy mid-ribs being entirely absent. They average 
in weight about 4 pounds, and produce very few outer leaves, 
permitting close planting in the row. A valuable addition to 
the list of fine cabbages. I*kt., 10c; Vz oz., 20c; oz., 30c; V» lb.,

'entirely satisfactory crops. The 
heads are uniform in size, con¬ 
ical in shape and very solid. It is valuable for early use, and

s good winter cabbage. Pkt., 5c; oz., 25c; Vi lb., 80c.

Culture —The culture of 
Cauliflower is much the 
same as that of cabbage. 
It does not make a good 
summer crop, however, as 
it will not head up well 
in hot weather. It is es¬ 
pecially popular as a fall 
and winter crop, and with 
market gardeners proves 
a profitable crop, owing 
to. the scarcity of good 
market vegetables when 
Cauliflower is at its best. 
It delights., in a rich soil 
and abundance of water. By sowing the early varieties in a 
hotbed- in February. March, or later, in a cold frame, fine heads 
can be obtained quite early. For a later supply sow seed in a 
prepared bed in May. choosing a cool, moist place. When large 
enough; transplant, making the rows about 2^t feet apart and 
18 inches between plants. Transplanting should be done in 
moist weather. In dry seasons the crop must be Watered. 
Ebbert Seed Co/s Improved Early Snowball —Unquestionably 
the earliest maturing strain of the true short leaved Snowball 
type of Cauliflower. Successful gardeners, after trials extend¬ 
ing over mahy' years, have pronounced this by far the best
