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 cabbagre, transplant fall sown plants in lace October or early November. For late, sow 
seed in open ground May Ist, transplant June 15 for fall, and July 1st to 20th for winter cabbasre, in rows 
3^ feet apart, from 25 to 36 inches in the row. according to the richness of the soil, sire 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 F<arly, Early Jersey Wakefleld. Large Wskefleld, 
All Mead Early, Danish Roundhead and Oregon Ballhead can he sown in the fall for spring and summer

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 Ist 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 3Yt feet in 
rows, and 3Vz feet between rows. Before the heads are large enough to 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.
