CABBAGE 
One ounce of seed will sow a row of 300 feet and make about 2,500 plants; 4 ounces to the acre. Always sow plenty of seed 
to give you all the plants you need—your surplus you can readily sell at a profit 
Schell’s “Harrisburg” Extra-Early Cabbage 
EXTRA-EARLY VARIETIES 
Schell’s “Harrisburg” Extra-Early 
This is, without question, the best extra-early 
round-headed variety. It is very early, forming its 
hard, heavy, round heads in 75 days from sowing the 
seed. You can grow 150 heads of Harrisburg Cabbage 
on the same space required for 100 heads of other 
varieties, because the plants of “Harrisburg” are very 
compact with few outside leaves and these keep close 
to the head so that you can set the plants 12 inches 
apart instead of 18 inches as required for other sorts. 
Its extreme earliness makes it a very desirable variety. 
I recommend it highly. Pkt. 10 cts.; V 2 OZ. 25 cts.; 
oz. 40 cts.; V^lb- $1.35; lb. $4; 5 to 10 lbs. at $3.75.

head Cabbage. Heads very solid and of best quality.

headed varieties. If planted with Jersey Wakefield, 
will mature ten days later. Heads are round as a 
ball, very solid, and fine-grained. Pkt. 10 cts.; oz. 
25 cts.; Mlb. 85 cts.; lb. $2.50.

field, except it requires longer to mature. Pkt. 10 cts.;

form. A most excellent strain. Pkt. 10 cts.; oz. 45

SECOND-EARLY VARIETIES

greatest value to those who grow for market. It is 
without question one of the best round, hard-headed, 
early Cabbages in cultivation. The heads are very 
solid, weighing 8 to 10 pounds, the stems short, with 
few outside leaves, which allow very close planting.
