REAL FROST-PROOF 
CABBAGE PLANTS 
The Frostproof Cabbage Plant has become so well known 
that it is hardly necessary to point out its advantages. 
On our farms the soil and climate are especially adapted 
to the growing of hardy, tough, healthy cabbage plants. The 
plants make a slow growth during the early part of the winter 
and spring, and soon become very tough and hardy. They will 
stand a temperature of 20 degrees above zero without injury 
and can be shipped to territory with a colder climate. Light 
snows, sleet, and moderate freezes will not hurt them, and 
they can be set in the open four to six weeks earlier than 
hotbed plants. The top of the plant does not grow, but the 
root becomes established, enabling the plant to make a rapid 
start, and mature headed cabbage two or three weeks earlier. 
Piedmont Field grown Frostproof Cabbage Plants will 
produce bumper crops early enough to get top prices. 
HOW TO USE OUR FROSTPROOF CABBAGE PLANTS 
For early cabbage select a deep sandy loam with southern exposure. 
Apply broadcast ten to fifteen loads of well rotted stable manure to 
the acre and plow in. Harrow the land thoroughly and lay off the rows 
east and west three feet apart. Drill in 
the furrows 500 to 1,000 pounds of high 
grade fertilizer to the acre and mix well 
with the soil. Bed on this and then run 
a small furrow in the top of the bed. 
Set the plants in this open furrow 15 to 
20 inches apart for Wakefield, Golden 
Acre and Copenhagen Market, and 24 
inches for larger varieties. The plants 
should be set deep in the ground up to 
the first leaf to keep the stem from 
freezing. When the ground begins to 
get warm cultivate frequently and apply 
200 pounds of nitrate of soda to the 
acre
