and is especially suited to Pacific Coast states. 
Italian Green Sprouting. This vigorous plant is entirely dif¬ 
ferent from the white heading sorts. Cultivated like cabbage, 
it bears a succession of sprouting heads which, if kept cut, will 
be replaced by others for 8 to 10 weeks. Each sprout, about 5 
inches long, ends in a small head of deep green buds. It is 
one of the most delicious green vegetables. Pkt. 5c; 1 oz. 40c;

tions are favorable for late cabbage and require the same 
method of culture. They mature best in the Autumn after the 
weather becomes cool. Pkt. 5c; 1 oz. 25c; 54 lb. 90c.

CABBAGE 
54 oz. to 100 ft., 4 oz. per acre. 
For plants of early kinds, sow seed in January under glass, 
and put out into flat about 2 inches apart. Transplant to 
open ground as early in the Spring as the soil can be prepared, 
setting 154 to 2 feet apart, in rows, which should be 3 feet 
apart. Cultivate frequently, and during dry weather water 
copiously. Late Cabbage seed should be sown in drills in open 
ground during April and May, and transplanted in June or 
July. Fertilize heavily, using 400 pounds nitrate of soda per 
acre in three dressings, one-third when plants are set out, and 
two thirds a month apart later. For prices see page 32.
