Frost-Proof Cabbage Plants 
v.no 
These plants are grown for us in the open field 
in the South, where the soil and climatic con¬ 
ditions are just suited for growing tough, hardy 
cabbage plants during the winter and early 
spring. The 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 far¬ 
ther 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 
Cabbage 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 
Market and 
January 15 to June 15. We offer 
the following varieties only : Early 
Jersey Wakefield, Lightning Ex¬ 
press, Golden Acre, Copenhagen 
Premium Late Flat Dutch. 
Cabbage plants are sent direct from our grow¬ 
ing station and are therefore not shipped with 
seeds or nursery stock.

rich celery flavor with that of the cabbage. Can be

bage compares with it. We are offering seed of the

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 
r)v South the seed may be sown throughout the entire year, or from July to 
v *"'^ September for main crop. Sow in rows 24 inches apart, allowing about 
2 inches between the seed. Commence feeding when plants are about 
4 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., 30c; ^4 lb., 90c; 
lb., $3.00, postpaid.
