THE BEST OF" AliL, CABBAGE IS FORD’S GL.ORV 
CABBAGE 
Cabbage seed has been a 
specialty with us for years, 
and our customers say the 
seed is good, because they get 
good results, and that is al¬ 
ways the final test. One cus¬ 
tomer writes that from 1,000 
plants grown from Ford’s Seed 
he raised 1,000 solid market¬ 
able heads. 
HOW TO GROW CABBAGE. 
Por early, the seed should be 
.sown in hotbed in March. For 
general crop, sow seed the 
latter part of May in open 
ground and in July transplant 
into rows 2% by 2 feet or 
more for large growing vari¬ 
eties; cultivate often. 1 ounce 
will grow about 1,000 plants.

Is the Best 
Cabbage.” 
FORD’S GLORY CABBAGE 
Highest Quality of All 
Our Most Popular Cabbage—An Every 
Purpose Variety 
THE BEST OF ALL CABBAGES. Glory has 
proven satisfactory wherever it has been 
planted. It matures quite early, a little 
later than the Copenhagen Market, but 
makes a larger head than that variety, is 
very solid and does not burst badly. The 
stems are short, heads almost round, slight¬ 
ly flattened at the top and are extremely 
solid, with very small core. There are few 
loose leaves, which is a great advantage, 
as the plants may be set very close to¬ 
gether. The heart is white, crisp, fine¬ 
grained, and tender, and cooks quickly. 
Owing to its earliness and the hardness of 
the heads it is an unusually good market 
sort. If the seed is sown in this latitude 
between June 1 and 10, it will produce ex¬ 
cellent heads for winter use. It always 
sells for top price in market. The best of 
all for Kraut. Pkt. lOe, Vz o*. 15c, o*. 25c,
