CANNELLS’ SEED GUIDE, 1914 
CABBAGE, GARDEN. 
CULTURE—No better preparation of ground with a coat of manure can be made than in the lifting of early Potatoes, when such a piece of ground 
may be profitably utilised by them. Sow in March and April for autumn and winter use, and early in August for spring and summer cutting. The 
small early kinds do well planted in rows 18 inches apart and 16 inches between the rows ; the larger-growing kinds require to be put 2 feet apart each way. 
CABBAGE, cannells’ defiance improved. 
ANNELLS’ DEFIANCE IMPROVED -Has been carefully selected for 
years, and the most popular kind round this part of Kent, and from the 
many good qualities it possesses it is always spoken of as the most 
perfect variety. Its second crop of little side Cabbages are pictures of 
perfection and are delirious in flavour. The first time it was placed 
before the Royal Horticultural Society it was unanimously awarded 
a First Class Certificate. Per pkt., 3d. and 6d. ; per oz., Is.
