Cabbage—Selected Strains 
Many inferior strains of Cabbage are offered on the market at low prices because prices on the 
super-selected strains seem high. However, in Cabbage seed, the best is the cheapest in the long run. 
Therefore, we offer only the highest quality that it is possible to obtain from the most reliable 
growers. 
CULTURE —Sow the seed of early varieties in hot beds or boxes indoors in February and March, transplant¬ 
ing to the open ground in April and May at which time seed of the mid-season varieties may be sown for later 
transplanting. Seed of the late varieties should be sown in good garden ground early in May and transplanted 
later. Cabbage should stand tS to 24 inches apart in rows 30 to 36 inches apart. Cabbage should be thoroughly 
cultivated throughout the season. 
QUANTITY OF SEED. An ounce should produce about 2,500 plants, lb. enough for one acre.

Late Cabbages 
This is 
the most 
popular of the pointed heads. It forms an edible 
head very early, about the same as Golden Acre in 
season. The absence of large spreading outer 
_ heads can be grown in small space. Has a pleasing 
flavor, distinct from the round head varieties and we strongly recommend it for the home 
garden. Pkt. 5c; oz. 30c.

Disease Resistant Cabbage 
In sections where Cabbage “Yellows” is damaging, it pays to plant strains bred for 
disease resistance. The seed of the two disease-resistant varieties listed below, is gathered 
from plants grown on diseased soil and which proved immune.

IViarK0l Market It is a few days later but otherwise it 
has all the good points of that variety. Pkt. lOc; oz. 30c; oz. 50c.j

Wisconsin INO. O flOllanaGr strain of the popular Hollander, 
being slightly larger and more leafy than the parent. The heads are round or somewhat 
flattened and more solid, with splendid keeping qualities. Especially valuable in sections 
where cabbage plants are effected by “Yellows” disease, as it is practically 100% immune.

grown as the true cabbage, and is considered by many 
superior in quality. It resembles celery to some 
extent in its habits of growth as well as in flavor. 
Much esteemed for salads. Sow either early for spring 
crop or in late summer for fall crop.

Cauliflower 
Many inferior strains of Cauliflower are offered 
on the market because prices of the best super- 
selected strains seem high. However in Cauli¬ 
flower seed, the best is by far the cheapest in the 
long run and we offer you only the best that our 
growers can produce. We could have Cauliflower 
seed grown for us at half the prices but you would 
not get half as good results. 
CULTURE —Cauliflower is grown much the same 
way as early Cabbage, the seeds started in hotbeds or 
boxes in February or early March. An extra transplant¬ 
ing into other boxes or cold frames before setting out¬ 
doors is beneficial. In these set 2 inchesaparteach way. 
When the heads begin to form gather the outer leaves 
and tie together to protect from the hot sun.

2000 plants, 5 ounces an acre.

of forming good heads on dry soil and during stretches 
of dry vveather, when other varieties fail. The head 
is beautiful, large, snow white and is protected by 
large leaves malSng it easier to “whiten” than Snow¬ 
ball. Only a trifle later than Snowball, perhaps not 
quite as good for greenhouse growing, but a wonder 
for the open ground. A sure header. Pkt. 12c; ^ oz.
