Tait's Pilot Cabbage 
CABBAGE 
1 ounce will plant a row lOQ feet long, and produce 1500 strong plants. 
6 ounces will produce enough strong plants to set an acre — days of 
maturity are reckoned from the time the plants are set out until they 
are ready to cut. 
Culture: Cabbage do best on medium stiff soil that has been thorough¬ 
ly dug or plowed deeply, and heavily manured, or made rich with 6-6-5 
fertilizer at the rate of 26 lbs. per 100 yards. For an early spring crop, 
sow in a gentle hotbed in February Vi, inch deep in rows 6 inches apart, 
and transplant when weather conditions are suitable. The seed may also 
be sown in beds out-of-doors in April, and transplanted when the plants 
are large enough. For fall crop, the seed is sown in July and while it 
may be sown in beds, the usual method is to drill the seed where the 
Cabbage are to be grown, using 2 lbs. to the acre and thinning the plants 
18 to 24 inches in the row. In the vicinity of Norfolk, the early spring 
crop of Wakefield Cabbage is sown out-of-doors in beds in late Septem¬ 
ber, and the plants set in the field the last of November or early in 
December. The small or early types are sown in rows 3 feet apart, leav¬ 
ing 15 to 18 inches between the plants. The large or late types are sown 
in rows 3 feet 6 inches, leaving 18 to 24 inches between the plants. After 
the plants are set out, they should be frequently cultivated, drawing the 
earth to the stems at each cultivation until the heads begin to form, at 
which time one final cultivation should be given. Cabbage should never 
be grown two seasons in succession on the same land.

nearly as large as the Charleston, 
and more attractive. Pkt., 5c;

5 lbs., $6.75, postpaid. 
Early Jersey Wakefield. (70

special strain of this popular variety is 
nearly as large as Charleston Wake¬ 
field, and a full week earlier. The hand¬ 
some, pointed, solid heads average 4

the main crop, we believe it is the fin¬ 
est type of Wakefield Cabbage in ex¬ 
istence. Pkt., 10c; oz., 25c; >4 lb., 70c;
