CABBAGE 
CULTURE—Early varieties should be sown in the open ground in early September or in cold 
frame in January or February. We do not recommend sowing in hotbed as plants will be too tender. 
For earliest cabbage, transplant fall sown plants in late October or early November. For late, sow 
seed in open ground May 1st, transplant June 15 for fall, and July 1st to 20th for winter cabbage, in rows 
3y 2 feet apart, from 25 to 36 inches in the row, according to the richness of the soil, size and variety. 
Do not crowd them. They do best in rich, loamy soil, fertilized with barnyard manure of any kind and 
applying our Garden Grow fertilizer as directed. Super Early, Early Jersey Wakefield, Large Wakefield, 
All Head Early, Danish Roundhead and Oregon Ballhead can be sown in the fall for spring and summer 
cutting. They seldom run to seed. Golden Acre, Copenhagen Market, Solid Summer and Glory of Enkhuizen 
will not winter over. 
PRICES ON CABBAGE SEED are uniformly 
*/4 lb. $1.00; lb. $3.00; postpaid.

GLORY OF ENKHUIZEN—The best variety for 
summer or fall crops, for its tendency is to produce 
large heads even in dry weather. It can also be 
used for early spring crop. It is not satisfactory 
as a winter cabbage. Very brittle and sweet. 
ALL HEAD EARLY—A second early, flat headed 
sort, very sure heading and little subject to burst¬ 
ing. Extra fine for kraut. Very desirable for fall. 
DANISH ROUNDHEAD—About two weeks earlier 
than Oregon Ballhead. The heads are larger and 
in demand for kraut purposes. It does not with¬ 
stand aphis or freezing like Oregon Ballhead. Seed 
from carefully selected heads.

cabbage; quite firm, large heads with curly foliage.

cabbages. Medium sized heads, firm and of good 
quality. Pkt. 10c; oz. 40c; lb. $1.20; lb. $3.75. 
♦EARLY JERSEY WAKEFIELD SPECIAL—This

we tested. Pkt. 5c; oz. 40c; *4 lb. $1.20; lb. $3.75.

Cabbage, Golden Acre 
♦GILL’S OREGON BALLHEAD — The acknow¬ 
ledged leader in the Northwest for a main crop 
winter cabbage. We have developed this strain until 
it excels all others for solidity, resistance to aphis 
or freeze injury. It is the best cabbage for crating 
or general market purposes. The outer leaves are 
deep green and will hold their color weeks after cut¬ 
ting. It is the best keeper of all. Seed supply limited. 
Pkt. 10c; oz. $1.00; % lb. $3.00; lb. $10.00. 
HOLLANDER—Excellent late ballhead type, very 
hardy. Nearest to Gill’s Oregon Ballhead of any 
variety we have tested. Pkt. 10c; oz. 50c; % lb. 
$1.50; lb. $5.00. 
PENN STATE BALLHEAD—Largest of the ball- 
head types. Short stem late variety desirable for 
winter storage. Pkt. 10c; oz. 45c; *4 lb. $1.25;

of the tall stem type. Suitable for low, wet land. 
STONEHEAD RED—Deep red, solid heads, re¬ 
sembling Oregon Ballhead in shape. Exceptionally 
solid and of good size. 
CAULIFLOWER 
CULTURE—For early cauliflower, start in cold frame. For fall cutting. Improved Early Calabrese 
Green Broccoli and all varieties of cauliflower except those listed below, should be planted June 1st to 20th 
and transplanted July 15th to August 10th. For late cauliflower. All Seasons, Mammoth White, Purple 
Italian, and Veitch’s Autumn Giant should be planted the first week in May, transplanting July 1st to 15th. 
For St. Valentine and Omega Broccoli, plant the first week in May, transplanting July 20th to August 10th. 
Cauliflower and Broccoli do best in a rich, loamy soil, not a cold wet location. Plant 2% to 3V 2 feet in 
rows, and 3V 2 feet between rows. As soon as the heads are large enough to soon be exposed to the light, 
tie or break the leaves carefully over the head to keep the light away from them. Great care should be 
used in growing plants of any of the early sorts, that they receive no severe check in their growth, as 
this will cause them to produce premature heads.

cellent late shipping variety grown extensively in 
the Portland territory. Grown from Reimann stock, 
this strain was the best during five adverse cauli¬ 
flower seasons in the Portland territory. Pkt. 15c;

ceptionally white, solid heads well protected with
