Main Crop CABBAGE 
CULTURE.—In general, the dates given below are correct for 
the Northern and Central States. 
For early use, sow seeds of the early kinds in the hotbeds or 
in a box in the house during February and upi to March 10th; 
transplant to the open ground in April, in rows 2 feet apart and 
18 inches in the row; or sow a bed of seed outside as soon as the 
soil can be worked. Transplant in about four weeks. 
For second early Cabbage, sow in April and transplant in May. 
For late Cabbage, sow in May and transplant June 15tli to July 
5th in rows 3 feet apart and 2 feet in the row. In transplanting, 
it is important that plants be set down to the first leaf. Liming 
the soil will increase your crop. 
GOOD SEED is of the utmost importance in all crops, and no 
doubt it has a greater effect on the final outcome of the Cabbage 
crop than any other. In buying Isbell’s strains of Cabbage you 
take the first step in the right direction. 
Cabbage requires rich, deep, mellow soil, high manuring and 
good culture to obtain fine, solid heads and a big crop. For 
Cabbage worms dust with “Slug Shot,’’ using the Feeny Duster 
(See page 85). For Cabbage lice use “Ever Green.” 
One ounce of seed produces 2,500 to 3,000 plants; 4 ounces will 
grow enough plants to set one acre. 
All Seasons 
One of the finest for second early or late, growing to a 
large size quickly and surely. The heads are extremely 
hard and solid, round, flattened at top. It is called “All 
Seasons” because it is good for Autumn as well as early 
Summer. Pkt., 5c; oz., 20c; lb., GOc; lb., $2.25, prepaid. 
Kraut King 
In many sections of Michigan and Ohio, Kraut King is 
the favorite Cabbage with the kraut packers. It is an 
immense yielder, often producing 25 tons or more per
