ALNEER BROTHERS RELIABLE SEEDS, ROCKFORD, ILL. 
CABBAGE 
For early use, sow seeds in hot beds 
about the 1st of March; transplant as 
early as possible in the ground about 18 
inches to 2 feet apart in very highly en¬ 
riched soil. For late and winter use, sow 
seeds in open ground about May 1st to 
15th. Plants are usually set in June or 
July, at a distance of 3 feet between rows 
and 2 V 2 feet between the plants. 
“Yellows-resistant” strains were introduced 
by the Wisconsin Agricultural Experiment¬ 
al Station so that Cabbages could be grown 
in localities where infected “Cabbage-yel¬ 
lows” soil had prevented non-resistant va¬ 
rieties from producing a crop. If you 
have trouble growing cabbages owing to 
yellows disease in your locality, try seed 
of the resistant varieties described below.

Marion Market 
Marion Market .Yellows-resistant. This Cabbage re¬

bage yellows and it is, therefore, valuable for land where “yel¬ 
lows-resistant” Cabbage is needed. The heads are almost 
round and very solid.. It is a hardy, highly bred strain, grown 
exclusively for kraut and long-distance shipping. It has pro¬ 
duced as much as 26 tons per acre. Pkt. 10c, oz. 40c, V4 lb.
