Poultry Cabbage E 
POULTRY CABBAGE 
3 Tons in a Space 40x60 Feet - 
Poultry Cabbage is a wonderful green feed for poultry and has been 
known to yield 3 tons in a space 40x60 feet. One-half pound of seed will 
grow enough greens to feed about 1,000 hens for 4 months; 3 pounds to an 
acre for 6,000 hens for 4 months. In the Northern States the seed can 
be sown any time from early spring until the middle of July. In some parts 
of the South the seed may be sown throughout the entire year, or from 
July to September for main crop. Sow in rows 24 inches apart, allowing 
about 2 inches between the seed. Commence feeding when plants are about 
4 inches high, pulling out and feeding alternate plants. Continue thinning 
until plants are about one foot apart. These should make heads of 5 to 7 
pounds in 60 days and may be fed immediately or allowed to stay in ground 
until cold weather. These heads may be fed whole as they are very tender 
and 100 per cent edible. Chopping is not required even for young chick- 
ens. Poultry Cabbage will not discolor the yolks of eggs when fed to laying 
hens. Pkt., 10c; 0z., 45c; 14 Ib., $1.50; lb., $5.00, postpaid. 
A most delicious vegetable which combines 
the rich celery flavor with that of the cabbage. 
Can be cooked or eaten raw like celery. Makes 
as good salad as the finest head lettuce. The 
mid-ribs can be cooked like as- 
paragus, and for cole slaw no 
other cabbage compares with it. 
It is extremely productive, easily 
grown and unexcelled for fall to 
early winter use from seed sown 
directly in the garden in mid- 
summer. 
CHIHLI (Improved Peking). 
This is the earliest, the surest 
header, and withstands heat bet- 
ter than other strains of Chinese
