Cabbage is easily grown and may be eaten raw as cole slaw or cooked in different ways. While the smooth leaved 
varieties are the most popular, some prefer the green savoy crinkly leaved (Perfection Drumhead); others, the 
deep purplish-red (Mammoth Red Rock); some the round heads (Copenhagen Market); others, the pointed 
(Early Jersey Wakefield) or flat (Premium Flat Dutch). We have the best kinds to meet your choice. Some of the 
midseason and late varieties make excellent kraut; all the late varieties are highly desirable for fall use and winter 
storing. Chinese or Celery Cabbage may be served like lettuce, cole slaw or cooked like regular cabbage. 













How to Grow CABBAGE 
For earliest crop, start early and midseason cabbage seed in hotbed or house; for medium 
early cabbage, seed may be sown in a cold frame or open-ground seed bed in early spring. 
Sow date cabbage for winter use in a seed bed outdoors when soil has become thoroughly 
warm. A pkt. will produce about 250 plants, an oz. about 2000 plants. Days to maturity 
are figured from the time the plants are set in the garden; allow 30 days to produce plants 
from seed. Cabbage does best in deep, rich, loamy soil. 
CHINESE or CELERY CABBAGE 
Not a true cabbage; resembles Cos Lettuce somewhat. May be served like lettuce, or, 
when. shredded, makes a delicious cole slaw. Boiled, it is far more palatable than ordinary 
cabbage. Where summers are cool, seed may be sown in early spring, otherwise sowings 
should be made about 3 months before your first expected frost. If sown too early, plants 
will ‘bolt’? during hot weather and not form heads. A packet will sow about 25 ft. of row, 
an oz. about 200 ft.
