CABBAGE 
CULTURE—Early varieties should be sown in the open ground in early September or in cold 
frame in January or February. 
f 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 1st to 20th for winter cabbage, 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.

Wakefield. The heads are firm with few outer 
leaves and average about four pounds. Postpaid.

4 Ib. $1.50; Ib. $5.00. 
*EARLY JERSEY WAKEFIELD SPECIAL—This 
is still the most valuable for the main crop of early 
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. 
BIG STRAIN WAKEFIELD — Larger than Early 
Jersey Wakefield and one week later. Valuable 
crop to precede Charleston Wakefield. 
*LARGE WAKEFIELD or CHARLESTON—Sim- 
ilar to Jersey Wakefield, but half again as large 
and ten days later. 
GLORY OF ENKHUIZEN—The 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 crops. It is not satisfactory 
as a winter cabbage. Very brittle and sweet. 
ALL HEAD EARLY—A second early flat headed 
sort, very sure heading and little subject to burst- 
ing. Extra fine for kraut. Very desirable for fall. 
DANISH ROUNDHEAD—About two weeks ear- 
lier than Oregon Ballhead. The heads are larger 
and in demand for kraut purposes. It does not 
withstand aphis or freezing like Oregon Ballhead. 
Seed from carefully selected heads. 
*PORTLAND ROUNDHEAD — Developed by a 
local gardener. Heads larger than Oregon Ballhead. 
Especially fine for summer cutting and early kraut 
purposes. Postpaid. Pkt. 10c; oz. 50c; 4 Ib. $1.50; 
Ib. $5.00. 
HOLLANDER—Excellent late ballhead type, very 
hardy. Nearest to Gill’s Oregon Ballhead of any 
variety tested. Earlier than Oregon Ballhead. 
PENN STATE BALLHEAD—Largest of the ball- 
head types. Short stem late variety desirable for 
winter storage. 
DANISH BALLHEAD (Short Stem) — Imported 
seed of the short stem type. It matures earlier than 
Oregon Ballhead. Medium sized, solid heads. 
AMERICAN SAVOY—The best main crop Savoy 
cabbage; quite firm, large heads with curly foliage. 
ROUND RED DUTCH —An early strain with 
round, solid heads weighing 3 to 5 pounds. 
Postpaid. Pkt. 10c; oz. 50c; 4 Ib. $1.50; Ib. $5.00. 
FLORENCE FENNEL

best results plant July 15 to August 15 in rows 
2 feet apart and thin to 1 foot apart. Use rich soil.

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. 
The outstanding commercial cabbage and the most 
popular winter sort. Postpaid. Pkt. 10c; oz. 50c;

Broccoli 
*ST. VALENTINE OREGON SPECIAL—The best 
sort for spring shipment; the solid, handsome,
