Superior Quality CABBAGE SEED 
For the earliest setting in the spring set 
out in February or March plants which 
have been wintered over, either in cold 
frames or out-of-doors. For a succession sow 
the early varieties in hotbeds or cold frames 
in January, February or early March. ‘Later 
sow the early varieties out-of-doors in 
March or April. For winter Cabbage sow 
in July or August to head up during the 
late fall and winter. Fall sowing, to make 
plants for setting out in the fall or early 
spring, should be made after September 
20th; if sown earlier they will likely shoot 
to seed, especially the flat-headed kinds. 
Early varieties should be set 18 inches 
apart in 2¥2 to 3 foot rows; late varieties, 
being larger, should be set two feet apart 
in 3-foot rows. One ounce will produce 
about 2,000 plants; six ounces will make 
plants for an acre. Use good rich soil, 
plenty of manure and fertilize and work 
frequently and deeply. 
EARLY JERSEY WAKEFIELD. This most ex- 
cellent variety is the earliest and surest head- 
ing of first early Cabbages for the market 
and home garden. Most gardeners depend 
upon it for the bulk of their extra early crop. 
The plants are exceedingly healthy, not only 
in resisting cold but other unfavorable condi- 
tions. They are compact and erect or very 
slightly spreading, with few outer leaves, 
which are smooth, thick, nearly oval and deep 
green. The stem is short. The heads are of 
medium size, very solid, uniformly pointed 
and of excellent quality. Pkt., 5c; oz., 20c; 
4 lb., 75c. 
COPENHAGEN MARKET. This excellent va- 
riety from Denmark will command the atten- 
tion of those who grow for early market as 
well as the private growers who desire an 
extra early, round-headed Cabbage which can 
be depended upon for making large, solid 
heads at an early season. The heads are 
grown upon a remarkably short stem, are 
solid, in size weighing 10 to 12 pounds, light 
green leaves, and of good quality. It is the 
largest of the early round-headed varieties, 
and its habit of growth allows of its being 
planted close together in the field or garden, 
and it matures so uniformly that the entire 
crop is ready for cutting at one time. Pkt., 
Sc; oz., 20c; 1% lb., $1.00. 
STEIN’S EARLY FLAT DUTCH. This early 
variety is one of the most popular Cabbages 
in South Texas and Gulf Coast sections for a 
market and shipping variety. This is a splen- 
did strain of Flat Dutch Cabbage, just a little 
later than our Early Flat Dutch. Pkt., 5c; oz., 
25c; 14 lb., 75c.

CABBAGE—EARLY JERSEY WAKEFIELD 
VOLGA CABBAGE (True Stock). This is a 
prolific variety to plant during August and 
September. It is perfectly adapted to South- 
west Texas and we advise the gardeners in 
Texas to plant heavily of this variety. It is a 
quick grower, maturing about the same time 
as Early Flat Dutch. It makes a deep, very 
heavy head, remarkably solid and white. 
Outsells all other Cabbages at sight. Grows 
close to the ground and produces heads that 
are exceptionally uniform in size, shape and 
maturity. Pkt., 5c: oz., 20c: 1% Ib., 75c. 
CHINESE CABBAGE. Follow Cultural Direc- 
tions on Lettuce. White and green. Occidental 
races have always been slow to absorb any- 
thing from the Chinese, but it is surprising 
that so few people have learned to appreciate 
the value of the Chinese Cabbage, a type 
that has been maintained for hundreds of 
years by that race. It is largely grown for 
Chinese consumption, and it only remains for 
Americans to find out its merits to make it 
popular. It is tender, crisp, blanches itself 
perfectly, and is equally good raw or cooked. 



CHINESE CABBAGE 
Cauliflower 
An ounce of seed will make about 2,000 
plants; 4 ounces will plant an acre. Ready for 
table in 100 days or less. 
CULTURE. Same as for Cabbage, remember- 
ing that as the Caulflower goes into bloom 
there should be an abundance of water at the 
Toots.

South Texas. The plants are compact, with 
few short outside leaves.. Heads are of medium 
to large size, compact, round, very white and
