BURPEE’S CABBAGE 
For earliest crop, start early and midseason cabbage seed in hot- 
bed or house; for medium early cabbage, seed may be sown ina 
coldframe or open-ground seed-bed in early spring. Sow late cab- 
bage for winter use in a seed-bed outdoors when soil has become 
thoroughly warm. A pkt. will produce about 250 plants, an oz. 
about 2000 plants. Days to maturity are figured from the time the 
plants are set in the garden; allow 30 days to produce plants from 
seed. Treat seed with Semesan to prevent damping-off.

Yellows-Resistant Cabbage | 
Yellows-resistant strains were introduced by the Wis- 
consin Agricultural Experimental Station so that cab- 
bages could be grown in localities where infested “cab- 
bag2-yellows” soil had prevented non-resistant varieties 
from producing a crop. If you live in such a locality and 
have had trouble, try the following highly yellows.

for its uniformity from year to year as well as in a single year’s 
planting. This uniformity makes it valuable to home

cal trade. Extreme earliness is another quality of 
this cabbage which has found favor with our 
customers all over the world. Produces well- 
rounded, solid heads of excellent quality, 6%4 in.
