CABBAGE 
CULTURE—Early varieties should be sown in the open ground in earl i 
d y 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 cabba i 
: , ge, in rows 
31 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.

cabbage. We have secured a special strain with 
solid heads and few outside leaves. It also matured 
the earliest of some twenty strains we tested.

Jersey Wakefield and one week later. Valuable 
crop to precede Charleston Wakefield.

ilar to Jersey Wakefield, but half again as large 
and ten days later. ; 
GLORY OF ENKHUIZEN—tThe best variety for 
summer or fall crops, for its tendency is to produce 
large heads even in dry weather. It can also be 
used for early spring crop. It is not satisfactory 
as a winter cabbage. Very brittle and sweet.

sort, very sure heading and little subject to burst-

Cabbage, Gill’s Oregon Ballhead 
*GILL’S OREGON BALLHEAD — The acknow- 
ledged leader in the Northwest for a main crop 
winter cabbage. We have developed this strain 
until it excels all others for solidity, resistance to 
aphis or freeze injury. It is the best cabbage for 
crating or general market purposes. The outer 
leaves are deep green and will hold their color 
weeks after cutting. It is the best keeper of all.

heads being of immense size and ready in February 
and March. It is extensively grown around Rose- 
burg, Oregon, for Eastern shipment.

well typed. Much Oregon grown broccoli seed is 
inferior, but you will find this strain well deve- 
loped for commercial crops. Postpaid. Pkt. 10c; 
4 oz. 45c; oz. $1.25; 4 Ib. $3.75; Ib. $12.00. 
Green Broccoli 
IMPROVED EARLY CALABRESE —A valuable 
Italian vegetable forming heads of deep green, just 
about the same color as the foliage. After the main 
head is cut, smaller heads branch out below. It is 
very tender, nutritious and delicious, and can be 
raised as easily as cabbage. Plant the seed June Ist 
to 20th and transplant July 15th to August 10th, in 
the same manner as other cauliflower or broccoli. It 
is very hardy and is not injured by light, so needs no 
protection. Light frosts will not injure it. Postpaid.
