young leaves in summer. 
CABBAGE 
Culture—Start seeds in cold frame or bed, 
in drills 6 in. apart, 5 or 6 seeds to the inch, 
covering lightly and firming soil. Keep beds 
moist but not wet, so plants will grow stead- 
ily, and transplant to garden after fourth 
pair of leaves are formed. Ounce of seed 
makes 1000 good plants; use 4% to 34 Ib. of 
seed for plants to set an acre. Seeds should 
be started here during the winter, in cold- 
frames, for earliest spring planting. Cabbage 
Plants are also available. Vitamins A and Bi

favorable weather. Plants are compact, with

dark green. Heads are medium sized, solid, 
nicely pointed and of excellent quality. 
Copenhagen Market. 68 days from plants. 
The favorite round headed, extra early 
variety. Quality is excellent and size is large 
for so early, but medium size. Vigorous 
grower, compact, short stem, with few outer 
leaves. Heads are nearly round, medium 
light green, thick and smooth. By far the 
best extra early round Cabbage on the 
market.

of the Wakefield strains. Best pointed va- 
riety for shipping and for home use. Medium

heading under unfavorable conditions, in- 
cluding hot weather. It resists drought and 
may even be matured in summer. Heads are 
round or slightly flattened, solid and of fine 
table quality. It’s a good keeper in storage 
and is cut for shipment north when weighing 
3 to 4 pounds. 
Savoy, Chieftain. All-America. 88 days. 
Most attractive and tenderest of all Cabbage

plants should be started early. The savoyed 
or crumpled leaves make tempting slaw, are 
sweeter than others and make fairly solid, 
large heads. Outer leaves are dark green, 
inner leaves much lighter green. In the 
writer’s opinion, Savoy is the kind to plant

loose-heading variety produced by crossing 
Georgia Collard with Charleston Wakefield

hardy, both to cold and to summer weather 
and certainly tastes better.

GARDEN CORN 
Culture—As a rule, corns in the South have 
been of the roasting ear type. They are not 
as sweet but are earlier, larger eared, may be 
planted earlier and make much better growth. 
Sweet or sugar corns have small, shrivelled 
seed when dry and are rather tender. Soil 
should be warm at planting time. Plant 
early, medium and late kinds or make several 
plantings at two-week intervals for a con- 
tinuous supply. Make hills 21% to 3 ft. apart 
each way, using 5 or 6 grains to the hill; thin- 
ning later to 2 or 3 stalks. Pound plants 
200 hills; 14 Ibs. per acre. Vitamin Bi. Yel- 
low Corn has Vitamins A and Bi.
