CABBAGE 
A packet will produce about 250 plants. One ounce of seed will produce 1500 to 2000 plants sown in open ground, F 
or 3000 if sown in frames; 14 lb. of seed is needed to produce plants for an acre. 
Methods of Culture. To get very early cabbage in the Northern the plants transplanted as soon as large enough. They will give cabbage 
states, sow the seed in hot-beds in February or March, or about six ready for use in August if the land is rich and well cultivated. For the 
weeks before the ground outside is ready to receive the plants. For the late crop the seed should be sown in the Northern states about May 20, 
home garden it is often more satisfactory to buy a few dozen plants for and the plants set out July 1. Early varieties may be sown as late as 
early cabbage. (See page 80.) For medium early crops, the seed of June 10, and will mature a good crop. 
early kinds may be sown in the open ground as early as possible and

270 GOLDEN ACRE. The Earliest Cabbage. Not only the 
earliest cabbage we know but so de- 
pendable and sure heading that practically every plant makes a 
perfect head. The heads are of fine quality, round as a ball and very 
firm. They are medium size, weighing about 4 to 5 lbs., an ideal size 
for family use. 
The plants make a neat compact growth with few outer leaves 
which permits them to be set close together. The growth is uniform 
and the heads are most attractive. 
We have a limited supply of seed of this fine strain which we can 
offer to growers who are particularly interested in getting very early 
cabbage.

250 COPENHAGEN MARKET. Large Heading Strain. Heads are 
larger than Golden Acre and mature about 10 days later. They are 
firm, round and grow on compact plants, practically every plant 
making a good head. 
We cannot supply any seed of Copenhagen Market this year. For 
growers who want this type, we suggest Early Market and Marion Market,

variety. The heads are usually round in shape, of good size and very 
fine quality. 
This seed was produced in California from cabbage crops which had 
been planted for market and then left to go to seed, and it is not a 
highly selected or refined type. However, it will produce good crops of 
early cabbage, and should be satisfactory for most home gardens and 
general market use. We offer it as the best obtainable type to grow 
in place of our regular strains of Copenhagen Market and Golden Acre.

With the increase in the number of localities having trouble with 
“‘yellows sick’’ soil, more yellows resistant varieties should be planted. 
In many sections they are the only varieties which will succeed. Even if 
the yellows infection is slight, and the ordinary kinds can be grown, the 
yellows resistant varieties usually do better and produce larger crops. 
The yellows resistant varieties have been so improved in the past few 
years, that in nearly all cases they are as true and uniform as the similar 
non-resistant kinds. Our stocks listed below are the best to be had. 
4 272 GOLDEN ACRE Yellows Resistant. This stock ripens a few 
days later than Golden Acre and is very uniform in size and shape. 
The heads are a little larger than Golden Acre but have the same 
fine type. Will produce good crops on “‘yellows”’ sick soil.

281 MARION MARKET. Yellows Resistant Copenhagen 
Type. The heads resemble Copen- 
hagen Market but are larger and mature several days later. The heads 
are round and very solid and the quality is excellent. 
We have a very uniform and true stock of this variety which will 
produce large round heads on land so diseased with yellows that other 
cabbage fails entirely. Our strain grows such fine heads that it is used 
by many growers who have very slight or no yellows infection. We 
highly recommend this excellent cabbage.

land that is infected with yellows. Our stock is very even, producing 
large uniform heads.
