MEMPHIS,TENNESSEE. 
CABBAGE SEED 
CULTURE—When started in hot-beds, sow thinly broadcast, covering seed 
about V 2 inch. When 4 to 6 inches high, transplant to the garden or field. 
Give frequent and deep cultivation, drawing the earth to the plants at each 
working. Set the early varieties at intervals of 18 inches in rows 2 y 2 feet 
apart; the larger and later sorts, 2 feet apart in 3-foot rows. Cabbage should 
be grown rapidly. It is a heavy feeder, and a rich, well-prepared soil will 
produce the best crop. The maturity dates indicated are the average number 
of days required to produce heads ready for market from the time the young 
plants are set in the field. An ounce of seed will produce at least 1,000 strong 
plants; one pound is sufficient to sow an acre. 
Our cabbage seed is grown by an expert of many years experience and 
is selected for purity of varieties and superior quality of heads. You 
are sure of the best when purchased from us. 
FOR CABBAGE WORMS— Spray with Evergreen Spray and 
Red Arrow. Neither of them is poisonous, but both will kill 
the worm and will not impair the cabbage for human food. 
Both are described and priced on spray pages. We grow millions 
of Cabbage Plants and ship to all parts of the South. See Index.
