CABBAGE 
One ounce of seed will sow a row of 300 feet and make about 2,500 plants; 
4 ounces to the acre. Always sow plenty of seed to give you all the plants you 
need—your surplus you can readily sell at a profit 
Mr. Frank Arney, Susquehanna Truck Farm, Pennsylvania, says: “It is a real pleasure to 
grow a crop of Cabbage like this. We have been planting your seeds for many years.” 
SECOND-EARLY 
VARIETIES 
Schell’s Early 
Perfection 
A very large, early, round- 
headed Cabbage of the 
greatest value to those who 
grow for market. It is 
without question one of the 
best round, hard-headed, 
early Cabbages in cultiva¬ 
tion. The heads are very 
solid, weighing 8 to 10 
pounds, the stems short, 
with few outside leaves, 
which allow very close plant¬ 
ing. It follows 10 days after 
my extra-early “Harris¬ 
burg.” One of our own valu¬ 
able introductions. Pkt. 10 
cts.; V 2 OZ. 30 cts.; oz. 50 
cts.; 141 b. $1.50; lb. $5; 
5 to 10 lbs. at $4.75 per lb. 
EXTRA-EARLY VARIETIES 
Schell’s “Harrisburg” Extra-Earlu 
This is, without question, the best extra-early 
round-headed variety. It is very early, forming its 
hard, heavy, round heads in 75 days from sowing the 
seed. You can grow 150 heads of Harrisburg Cabbage 
on the same space required for 100 heads of other 
varieties, because the plants of “Harrisburg” are very 
compact with few outside leaves and these keep close 
to the head so that you can set the plants 12 inches 
apart instead of 18 inches as required for other sorts. 
I recommend it highly. Pkt. 10 cts.; V 2 OZ. 25 cts.; 
oz. 40 cts.; V^lb. $1.35; lb. $4; 5 to 10 lbs. at $3.75. 
Early Jersey Wakefield. The best first-early pointed- 
head Cabbage. Heads very solid and of best quality. 
Pkt. 10 cts.; oz. 25 cts.; 341b- 75 cts.; lb. $2. 
Glory of Enkhuizen. One of the best early round- 
headed varieties. If planted with Jersey Wakefield, 
will mature ten days later. Heads are round as a 
ball, very solid, and fine-grained. Pkt. 10 cts.; oz. 
25 cts.; 341b. 75 cts.; lb. $2. 
Early Winnigstadt. Pointed head; like Jersey Wake¬ 
field, except it requires longer to mature. Pkt. 10 cts.; 
oz. 25 cts.; 341b. 75 cts.; lb. $2. 
Copenhagen Market. Regular Strain. Extra-early, 
round-headed. A valuable variety, grown extensively. 
The heads are 7 to 8 inches in diameter, and average 
4 pounds. A sure-heading variety of excellent 
quality. Matures 68 days after transplanting. Pkt. 
10 cts.; oz. 30 cts.; 34lb. 85 cts.; lb. $2.25. 
Ye Olde Copenhagen Market, Schell’s Original 
Strain. This is about two weeks earlier than the 
regular early strain. The plants are dwarf, very com¬ 
pact, with few outer leaves. The heads are round 
as a ball, hard, solid, of medium size and very uni¬ 
form. A most excellent strain. Pkt. 10 cts.; oz. 45 
cts.; 341b. $1; lb. $3.50. 
Golden Acre. Extra-early, round, solid, close-grained 
head. Similar to Copenhagen in type but smaller 
heads and the plants are more compact, and it is 
ready to cut a week earlier. Pkt. 10 cts.; oz. 30 cts.; 
341b. 90 cts.; lb. $2.50. 
Schell’s Earliest “Redhead.” The earliest of all red 
Cabbages. The heads are large, solid, and handsome. 
Pkt. 10 cts.; Koz. 35 cts.; oz. 50 cts.; 341b. $1.20; 
lb. $3.50. 
FOR FROST-PROOF CA 
Schell's Strain Charleston Wakefield 
We have developed a strain of this important early market 
Cabbage that has won for us much praise. Being half again as 
large as Jersey Wakefield and only a week to ten days later to 
first cutting, you can see its great value as an early Cabbage. 
Pkt. 10 cts.; oz. 30 cts.; 341b. 75 cts.; lb. $2.25.

CHINESE CELERY CABBAGE 
A native of China. Now very popular and grown very 
extensively throughout the United States. A delicious vege¬ 
table that may be served as a salad or shredded, like cole¬ 
slaw, with dressing. The green portion of the leaves may be 
served like spinach and the midribs of the leaves are delicious 
when prepared like asparagus. Do not sow the seed until the 
middle of July, for if sown in spring they soon shoot to seed. 
Thin the plants to stand 12 to 15 inches apart in the rows.

and 8 to 12 inches in diameter. The firm, well-blanched heads
