THE FRANK S. PLATT COMPANY 
Cabbage Kopfkohe—Berza de Repeollo—Cappucie 
The Cabbage requires a deep, rich soil and thorough working. For early use the plants should be 
started in a hotbed or cold frame; but seed for winter cabbage should be sown in a seed bed for 
Connecticut the last of May and transplanted when 4 to 6 inches high. Some of the large late 
varieties seem to do well if the seed is sown in the hills where they are to remain, and in that case 
sow two or three seeds where each plant is desired, and then pull up all but the strongest. Plant 
the large varieties three feet apart; the small, early sorts from a foot to eighteen inches. The Savoy 
cabbages have crumpled leaves, and are of fine flavor, especially after a little frost has touched them 
in the autumn. 
Golden Acre Cabbage. The earliest round head¬ 
ed cabbage, similar in type, somewhat smaller, 
and ten days earlier than Copenhagen Market. 
Per pkt., 10c.; oz., 35c.; %-\b., $1.00; lb., $3.50. 
Copenhagen Market. Exceptionally hard and 
solid, round heads; average eight pounds each, of 
fine quality, few outer leaves, small core and 
nearly as early as Jersey Wakefield, with greater 
yield, also desirable for fall and early winter use.

finest stocks of Copenhagen Market Cabbage are 
produced. Per pkt., 10c.; oz., 30c.; Y-lb., 90c.; lb.,

midal, blunted at the top. The best and most
