131— EARLY FLAT DUTCH.—TLhis is one of the 
most profitable kinds for the market grower. Its 
good qualities and handsome appearance make it a 
good seller, while its ability to stand shipping and 
its enormous yield make it a favorite with the market 
growers. The heads are large, round, flat, solid and 
heavy.

132 — WISCONSIN ALL SEASON. —TThis is a 
strain of All Season cabbage that has been bred by 
the Wisconsin Experiment Station to resist the blight 
or yellows. It is undoubtedly one of the best varieties 
for soils affected with yellows. Commercial growers 
will find this one of the safest sorts and home garden- 
ers who have been making failures on account of 
“yellows” should plant nothing else. It is a large, 
solid, flat head.

that of any other variety and for this reason it is 
highly desirable. The heads are large, solid, and 
heavy, made up of thick crumpled leaves. The inner 
leaves blanch and are very tender. Eat Savoy cabbage 
for health, because they lead the vegetable list in 
vitamins.

Cabbage 
Sow the seed during the late winter or early spring 
in well-prepared and fertilized beds. To prepare the 
field for transplanting, apply a fertilizer containing 
Nitrogen 4%, Phosphoric Acid 7%, and Potash 9%, 
at the rate of from one to two thousand pounds per 
acre. This may be applied either broadcast or in the 
rows. Prepare rows 2% to 3 feet apart and set the 
plants 18 to 24 inches apart in the row. Give frequent 
shallow cultivation, keeping the soil worked well up 
around the plants. An application of fertilizer will 
_hasten the growth of the backward plants. For winter 
cabbage, sow the seed in June or July. For extra 
early spring use, sow the seed in September or Octo- 
ber, and transplant in the early winter. 
125—EARLY JERSEY WAKEFIELD.—tThe 
heads are of medium size, compact, and pointed, with 
a fair proportion of outer leaves. The color is a rich 
deep green. It is a very quick grower maturing its 
heads about two weeks earlier than Charleston Wake- 
field or Copenhagen Market. Further, it is hardy and 
will stand a great deal of frost and cold weather. In 
the South, the seed may be sowed the last of Septem- 
ber and the young plants will go through the average 
winter and make cabbage for the extra early market 
in the spring. 
Pkt. 5e, oz. 35e, 4 |b. 90c, lb. $3.00, postpaid. 
126-—LARGE or CHARLESTON WAKEFIELD. 
This is a larger but a later variety of the Wakefield 
strain. It produces heads similar in shape to the 
Jersey Wakefield, but much larger, and it is about 
ten days later. The leaves are thick, and it will stand 
more cold weather than any other cabbage. 
Pkt. 5e, oz. 35¢e, %4 lb. 90e, lb. $3.00, postpaid. 
127 — COPENHAGEN MARKET. — It matures 
uniformly and produces large, round, solid heads. It 
is just a few days later than Jersey Wakefield with 
heads more solid and heavier. 
Pkt. 5e, oz. 40c, 144 Ib. $1.20, Ib. $3.60, postpaid. 
133—SLATE’S ALL-HEAD EARLY.—This is an 
early flat variety noted for its sure heading qualities. 
The heads are large, solid, flat and of excellent qual- 
ity. Its reliable producing qualities have made it very 
popular with market growers but it is just as good 
for the home garden.
