CABBAGE 
CULTURE—Early varieties should be sown in the open ground in early September or in cold 
frame in January or February. We do not recommend sowing in hotbed as plants will be too tender. 
For earliest cabbage, transplant fall sown plants in late October or early November. 
For late, sow 
seed in open ground May Ist, transplant June 15 for fall, and July ist to 20th for winter cabbage, in rows 
334 feet apart, from 25 to 36 inches in the row, according to the richness of the soil, size and variety. 
Do not crowd them. They do best in rich, loamy soil, fertilized with barnyard manure of any kind and 
apply Garden Grow fertilizer as directed. Early Jersey Wakefield, Large Wakefield, All Head Early, 
Danish Roundhead and Oregon Ballhead can be sown in the fall for spring and summer cutting. They 
seldom run to seed. Golden Acre, Copenhagen Market and Glory of Enkhuizen will not winter over.

NOTICE TO OUR CUSTOMERS. 
= Due to the war situation in Europe, prohibiting importations, some varieties of Cabbage, 
{ Broccoli, most all varieties of Cauliflower, Mangel Beets, and Spinach, are in very limited supply = 
= and prices are necessarily higher. | 
| Short crops in our own country, of many varieties of Onion, Carrot, Spinach and some other = 
7 less important vegetables, have necessitated some sharp advances in price. However, we have | 
| carefully checked our stocks and have made only such proportionate advances as were necessary. #%
