CABBAGE 
Sow 6 ounces in seed-bed to plant an acre or plant 12 ounces per acre in field. 
For the garden, sow 1 ounce in seed-bed for 50 plants to set 60 feet of row for a family of 3 or 4 people. 
Seed supply of all varieties extremely limited. 

A comparison of Our Extra Early Cabbage Varieties 
1. Early Jersey Wakefield. 2. Charleston Wakefield. 3. Extra 
Early Copenhagen Market. 
Cabbage is a good crop for Florida. In Florida, cab- 
bage may be planted from August to March, but heav- 
iest plantings are made in September and October. 
CuLturE. 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 bet- 
ter. You cannot grow a big, heavy crop of Cabbage on a star- 
vation ration. Where planted in seed-beds, which is the desir- 
able 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 21% to 3 feet apart 
and set plants 12 to 15 inches apart in row, depending on size 
of head you wish to produce. If you desire small heads, crowd 
the plants; for large heads, place farther apart. For the con- 
trol of cabbage insects and diseases see page 50. 
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 Spergon. (See page 56) 
To control downy mildew disease in cabbage seed-beds use 
wettable Spergon (See page 56). 
Although our cabbage seed is grown in disease-free territory 
in the west it is a safe precaution, to control black rot on cab- 
bage, cauliflower, broccoli, turnip, radish and other crucifers, 
to treat seeds before planting with Bi-Chloride of Mercury. 
See page 49. 
The number of days in parentheses after each variety named 
indicates the relative number of days to secure marketable 
heads from setting out plants in the field or garden. From 
the time seed is sown until the plants are ready for the field 
or garden thirty to thirty-five days are usually required. 
Prices quoted are postpaid. 
EARLY JERSEY WAKEFIELD. (62 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, coni- 
cal-shaped, pointed heads are very firm, of finest quality, and 
especially desirable for home use. 
Pkt. 10c; oz. 45c; 4 lb. $1.40 
CHARLESTON WAKEFIELD. (72 days.) The heads are 
larger and broader at the base, not quite so pointed and 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. 
Pkt. 10c; oz. 45c; 14 Ib. $1.40 

KILGORE’S BRED-RITE GOLDEN ACRE. (64 days.) 
An extremely 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 some 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. 
Sold out. Available early fall 1944. 
KILGORE’S GREEN ACRE. or Dark Green Copenhagen 
Market. (66 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 meet- 
ing 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. 
Sold out. Available early fall 1944. 
KILGORE’S EXTRA EARLY COPENHAGEN MARKET. 
(68 days.) Our extra early strain of Copenhagen Market has 
become very popular in all the large important cabbage pro- 
ducing sections of Florida. It is short-stemmed, compact, with 
very solid, round, medium-sized heads, having few outer leaves, 
thus facilitating close planting. Our stock is very uniform in 
shape, and matures practically all at the same time. This uni- 
form maturity is very desirable from a marketing standpoint. 
Pkt. 10c; oz. 60c; %4 Ib. $1.85 
EARLY ROUND DUTCH. (71 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 produc- 
tion. 
Pkt. 10c; oz. 60c; %4 Ib. $1.85 
MARION MARKET. (Yellows Resistant.) (78 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, but makes somewhat heavier 
yields than Copenhagen Market. Will produce a normal crop on 
Yellows infected soils where non-resistant strains will fail 
completely. 
Sold out. Available early Fall 1944. 
KILGORE’S BRED-RITE GLORY OF ENKHUIZEN. 
(78 days.) A splendid medium-early, round-headed type. 
Somewhat similar to Copenhagen Market, but slightly later, 
larger, with a darker green color, and a heavier yield. The 
large heads are protected by large, over-lapping wrapper leaves. 
Heads are very solid, uniform in shape, size and maturity, and 
of excellent shipping and market quality. 
Pkt. 10c; oz. 60c; %4 Ib. $1.85 
ALL HEAD EARLY. (78 days.) This Cabbage is well 
named, as it is early for a flat-headed variety and has compara- 
tively few outer leaves, being almost all head. It develops a 
larger-sized plant than the early pointed and round-headed 
varieties. The large, solid, deep flat heads are uniform in 
shape, size, and maturity. Withstands heat and drought bet- 
ter than most other varieties, and is a very heavy yielder. 
Sold out. Available early fall 1944.
