For Cabbage Seed, Cabbage Plants, and Cabbage 
Information, We Are Headquarters. 
We are large growers and shippers of Cabbage, growing 
and shipping hundred of cars yearly. We test and try 
out on our vegetable farms, every new introduction of 
cabbage and the varieties listed herein are those found 
to be best adapted to the soil and climatic conditions of 
the West and Middle West. 
Culture: The ground should be well fertilized, deeply 
plowed (fall plowed if possible). For early planting sow 
seeds of the early varieties in hotbeds the latter part of 
January or the first part of February. For second early, 
sow in March and April, in hotbeds or cold frames. For 
late varieties, sow outside in April and May. The plants 
should be set in rows 2% to 3 feet apart and from 12 to 
18 inches apart in the rows, according to the richness of 
the soil—the richer the soil the closer they may be grown. 
The cabbage worm and aphis are the most common cabbage 
pests. Paris Green and arsenate of lead are very effective 
but dangerous as they are very poisonous to humans. We 
recommend using Cubor for worms, and Nicotine or Cubor 
for aphis. See page 70. 
Golden Acre—Selected 
Copenhagen Market. 72 to 78 days. A splendid early, 
round head sort, head averaging 5 to 8 pounds in weight.

same time. Gold Seal Quality. Pkt., 10c; oz., 25c; 
lb., 75c; lb., $2.35, postpaid.

same time. Heads are round, very firm, bright green

European Market. 70 to 72 days. All extra early varieties 
of cabbage are usually very light yielders, but our 
European Market is both extra early and a heavy yielder. 
It follows Golden Acre, being only about 4 days later 
but is a much heavier yielder and a better header. It 
is about 5 days earlier than Copenhagen Market and 
produces a heavier yield of round, solid heads of nice 
green color. It is an excellent shipping variety and year 
in and year out European Market is the most profitable 
cabbage that can be grown. Pkt., 10c; oz., 30c; V 4 lb.,
