A Typical Plant of 
Kilgore’s Bred-Rite Copenhagen Market 
Cabbage is a good crop for Florida. In Florida, cabbage 
may be planted from August to March, but heaviest plant- 
ings are made in September and October. 
Cutture. Cabbage Is a heavy feeder and should be grown 
rapidly. Therefore, for best results, plenty of fertilizer 
should be used—not less than 1000 pounds per acre, and a 
ton is better. You cannot grow a big, heavy crop of Cabbage 
on a starvation ration. Where planted in seed-beds, which is 
the desirable and common practice, plant seed thin in drills 
6 inches apart, cover 1 inch deep, using 6 ounces of seed for 
an acre of plants, and do not make the soil in seed-beds as 
rich as soil where plants are to be set. When seed is planted 
in the field, use 12 ounces of seed per acre. Make rows 24% 
to 8 feet apart and set plants 12 to 15 inches apart in row, 
depending on size of head you wish to produce. If you de- 
sire small heads, crowd the plants; for large heads, place 
farther apart. To control cabbage worms and loopers as well 
as aphids most effectively, use Pyrocide dust. (See page 54.) 
Kilgore’s Bred-Rite Cabbage seed has been developed and 
selected for uniformity, high yield, and trueness to type. 
To control damping-off disease in seed-beds, it is important 
to treat cabbage seed with Semesan or some other good 
disinfectant before planting. (See page 55.) 
Although our cabbage seed is grown in disease-free terri- 
tory in the west it is a safe precaution, to control black rot 
on cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli, turnip, radish and other 
crucifers, to treat seeds before planting with Bi-Chloride of 
Mercury, using one tablet to a pint of water, or one ounce 
of powder to 7% gallons of water, soaking the seed in a 
non-metallic container for twenty minutes, no longer, rins- 
ing several times in clear water and drying before planting.

EARLY JERSEY WAKEFIELD. (80 days.) Our stock has 
been bred and selected especially for earliness. It is a week 
earlier than the old type Jersey Wakefield and is just as 
large. Very resistant to cold weather. The small, medium- 
sized, conical-shaped, pointed heads are very firm, of finest 
quality, and very desirable for market or home use.

CHARLESTON WAKEFIELD. (90 days.) The heads are 
larger and broader at the base, not quite so pointed and 
slightly later in maturing than Early Jersey Wakefield. 
Of uniform size, very solid, and of very desirable market 
quality. Very resistant to cold weather and premature 
seeding.

KILGORE’S BRED-RITE GOLDEN ACRE. (80 days.) An ex- 
tremely early, small to medium-sized round-head Cabbage 
of the Copenhagen Market type, but considerably earlier 
than most stocks of Copenhagen Market and ahead of many 
stocks of Early Jersey Wakefield. Our strain of this variety 
heads up very uniformly and is exceptionally well bred, with 
inner leaves shorter than the head, and outer leaves growing 
horizontally. This variety is growing in popularity. 
Pkt. 5c; oz. 40c; 1% Ib. $1.25; 1 Ib. $4.50 
KILGORE’S GREEN ACRE. or Dark Green Copenhagen 
Market. (82 days.) This round headed, extra early variety 
produces very compact growing plants, with leaves of glossy 
dark green color, with the outer leaves growing upright off 
the ground. The head leaves have a glossy deep green color, 
and the underlying, overlapping leaves are just as green, 
giving the head a fresh, green outer appearance, which will 
always be green, even after long distance shipping and 
handling. In the case of damaged surface leaves, these may 
be peeled off without altering the fresh appearance of the 
head, thus meeting the present day popular demand for 
“new crop cabbage, fresh and green.” This has become one 
of the most popular varieties of cabbage for southern truck 
farming, because of its fresher appearance when marketed.

KILGORE’S BRED-RITE COPENHAGEN MARKET. (85 days.) 
Our extra-early strain of Bred-Rite Copenhagen Market has 
become very popular. It is short-stemmed, compact, with very 
solid, round, medium-sized heads, having few outer leaves, 
thus facilitating close planting. Our Bred-Rite stock is very 
uniform in shape, and matures practically all at the same 
time, which is very desirable from a marketing standpoint. 
Pkt. 5c; oz. 40c; 1% Ib. $1.15; 1 Ib. $4.00 
EARLY ROUND DUTCH. (87 days.) An exceedingly hardy, 
and dependable variety of round-headed cabbage. Heads are 
firm and of high quality. Plants vigorous, small, and com- 
pact, with erect leaves and short stems. Suitable for close 
planting, but must be fertilized more heavily if planted 
close in order to produce size. Very slow to bolt or produce 
“seeders” and withstands cold weather better than any other 
early round-headed variety. Especially. well suited for muck 
land production. 
Pkt. 5¢; oz. 35c; 1% Ib. $1.00; 1 Ib. $3.50 
MARION MARKET. (Yellows Resistant.) (95 days.) This is 
a late maturing strain of Copenhagen Market, resistant to 
cabbage Yellows Disease. Larger and coarser in growth than 
Copenhagen, but with the round head and good quality of 
the regular Copenhagen Market. Will produce a normal crop 
on Yellows infected soils where non-resistant strains will 
fail completely. 
Pkt. 5c; oz. 40c; 1% Ib. $1.15; 1 Ib. $4.00 
KILGORE’S BRED-RITE GLORY OF ENKHUIZEN. (93 days.) 
A splendid medium-early, round-headed type. Somewhat 
similar to Copenhagen Market, but slightly later, larger, and 
a heavier yielder. Heads are very solid, uniform in shape, 
size, and maturity, and of excellent shipping and market 
quality. 
Pkt. 5¢; oz. 25c; 1% Ib. 75c; 1 Ib. $2.50. 
ALL HEAD EARLY. (95 days.) This Cabbage is well named, 
as it is early for a flat-headed variety and has comparatively 
few outer leaves, being almost all head. It develops a larger- 
sized plant than the early pointed and round-headed vari- 
eties. The large, solid, deep flat heads are uniform in shape, 
size, and maturity. Withstands heat and drought better than 
most other varieties, and is a very heavy yielder. 
Pkt. 5¢; oz. 30c; %4 Ib. 85c; 1 Ib. $3.00. 
STEIN’S EARLY FLAT DUTCH. (105 days.) This is an old 
standard, hardy, winter variety. It produces a very large- 
sized plant, spreading in growth, with few large, broad outer 
leaves. The head is of large size, flat, and very solid. 
Pkt. 5c; oz. 30c; %4 Ib. 75c; 1 Ib. $2.50
