aided in its growth by frequent hoeing and

should be cultivated the same as cabbage. 14-

Hardie’s Frost-Proof 
Cabbage Plants 
Frost-proof cabbage plants usually withstand 
the cold winter, say at least six winters out 
of eight, in Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi and 
Alabama. In other territories, February and 
March are best months to plant. The word 
"frost-proof” does not mean "freeze-proof.” 
However, you will be surprised at the amount 
of freezing weather the plants will stand. 
A temperature of 20 degrees above zero with 
sleet and snow seldom hurts them. Under 
favorable conditions they stand it down to 
13 above zero. 
156—VARIETIES. Early Jersey Wakefield, 
Charleston Large-Type Wakefield, and Early 
Flat Dutch. Prices by Parcel Post, postage 
paid, 100 plants 50c; 200 plants for 75c; 
500 plants for $1.25; 1000 plants or more at 
$2.00 per 1000 plants. 
Orders are filled by the 100, not 250 or 350. 
These prices are for even quantities of one 
variety to package; if you oredered 200 of one 
variety and 300 of another variety, you would 
pay at the 500 rate. 
Prices by Express, buyer paying express 
charges: in lots of 1000 to 4000 plants at 
$1.75 per 1000 ; 5000 or more at $1.50 per 1000. 
Plants packed for express shipments. 1000 or 
2000 plants of a variety to a package weigh 
about 25 pounds per thousand plants, packed 
for shipment. 
154— PE-TSAI or CHINESE CABBAGE. A 
wonderful plant which yields an unusual 
amount of most excellent salad. It is better 
than cabbage for making slaw and when 
served with mayonnaise makes a delicious 
salad. Cultivate the same as cabbage. Pkt., 5c; 
oz., 20c; % lb., 60c; lb.. $2.00, postpaid. 
155— STEIN’S EARLY FLAT DUTCH. Early

cellent variety. Pkt., 5c; oz., 15c; Vi lb.,

CULTURE—Sow seed in hotbeds during De¬ 
cember and early January, then transplant

earlier varieties out of doors in March and 
April. For winter cabbage sow seed in July, 
August and September, then transplant in 
October. Set out in rows three feet apart and 
about 18 inches apart in the row. Six ounces 
of seed will produce enough plants for one 
acre.

60c; lb., $2.00, postpaid. 
147— DRUMHEAD SAVOY. Excellent winter 
and spring family cabbage, partaking partially 
of the size of the Drumhead and the curled 
leaves of the Savoy. For family use it is 
equaled by none. Pkt., 5c; oz., 25c; Vi lb., 
75c; lb., $2.50, postpaid. 
148— GOLDEN ACRE. The earliest round 
headed cabbage; especially valuable for early

first-early, olbong headed cabbage. Heads uni¬ 
formly hard and solid. Pyramidal in form, 
generally pointed at the end, with few out 
side leaves. Outer leaves are unusually thick 
and heavy, and therefore stand more cold 
weather without injury when carried through 
the winter either in the open ground in the 
South or in cold frames in the North. Pkt., 
5c; oz., 15c; Vi lb., 50c; lb., $1.75, postpaid.

The Collard is an old favorite adapted to 
the South, and as a producer of "greens” for 
boiling in winter and spring it has no equal. 
It will pay you to have a collard patch. Sow 
any time up to September 15th. When plants 
are 6 inches high transplant them to open 
ground, setting plants 2 feet apart in the row. 
Cultivate like cabbage. Sow one ounce of seed 
to 200 feet of row. Collards mature in 3 to 4 
months.
