Ross’ Dependable Cabbage 
1 pkt. produces 250 plants; 1 oz. produces 3000 plants. 
The seed we offer is absolutely new stock from the best 
professional growers. A heavy rich loam, thoroughly 
cultivated, highly manured and worked deep is most suit- 
able to cabbage. Early cabbage should be planted under 
glass in March and transplanted 2 feet apart as soon as 
ground outside can be prepared. For late plants, sow in 
hills in open ground in May. Transplant in July. Protect 
against insects with Slug-shot. 
Yellows-Resistant Cabbage 
The term, “Yellows-Resistant” Cabbage seed, does not 
necessarily imply that this seed is to be planted only in 
soil infested with the Yellows or Wilt. Our Resistant seed 
has a very high germination test, and produces a hardier 
plant, a surer producer and yields greater tonnage than 
ordinary commercial strains.

Copenhagen—Early 

* Danish Ballhead (Ross’). This short-stemmed type is 
popular on account of the great solid- 
ity and weight of the head; it is a strong, vigorous grow- 
er, producing large round, compact heads, almost as hard 
as iron, weighing when trimmed fully one-fourth more 
than any other cabbage of equal size. In consequence, it 
aa in condition until spring. Pkt., 10c; 1% oz., 30c;
