Frost-Proof Cabbage Plants 
These plants are grown for us in the open field in the South, where 
the soil and climatic conditions are just suited for growing tough, 
hardy cabbage plants during the winter and early spring. The plants 
Mature Heads 2 to 3 
Weeks Earlier than 
Home Grown Plants 
make a slow but steady growth, until at 8 to 10 weeks of age they are very tough and hardy, the buds are purple and the 
outer leaves a reddish brown. When in this condition they can be shipped to territory farther north and be planted in 
the open ground a month or six weeks sooner than the home grown hot bed or cold frame plants. These Frost-Proof Cab¬ 
bage Plants will stand a temperature of 20 degrees above zero. 
Frost-Proof Cabbage Plants should be planted at least a month earlier than you would plant home grown plants, and 
they will mature heads 2 to 3 weeks earlier. We can supply plants from January 15 to June 15. We offer the following 
varieties only: Early Jersey Wakefield, Lightning Express, Golden Acre, Copenhagen Market and Premium Late Flat 
Dutch. 
Cabbage plants are sent direct from our growing station and are therefore not shipped with seeds or nursery stock.

Poultry Cabbage 
POULTRY CABBAGE 
Poultry Cabbage is a wonderful green feed for poultry and has been known to yield 
3 tons in a space 40x60 feet. One-half pound of seed will grow enough greens to 
feed about 1,000 hens for 4 months; 3 pounds to an acre for 6,000 hens for 4 months. 
Poultry Cabbage is a rapid grower. In the Northern States the seed can be sown 
.. any time from early spring until the middle of July. In some parts of the 
South the'seed may be sown throughout the entire year, or from July to 
September for main crop. Sow in rows 24 inches apart, allowing about 
2 inches between the seed. Commence feeding when plants are about 
inches high, pulling out and feeding alternate plants. Continue thinning 
until plants are about one foot apart. These should 
make heads of 5 to 7 pounds in 60 days and may be 
fed immediately or allowed to stay in the ground 
until cold weather. These heads may be fed whole as 
they are very tender and 100 per cent edible. Chop¬ 
ping is not required even for young chickens. Poul¬ 
try Cabbage will not discolor the yolks of eggs when 
fed to laying hens. Pkt., 10c; oz., 20c; *4 lb., 60c;
