132 — WISCONSIN ALL SEASON. — This is a 
strain of All Season cabbage that has been bred by 
the Wisconsin Experiment Station to resist the blight 
or yellows. It is undoubtedly one of the best varieties 
for soils affected with yellows. Commercial growers 
will find this one of the safest sorts and home gard- 
eners who have been making failures on account of 
“yellows” should plant nothing else. It is a large, 
solid, flat head.

138 — PERFECTION DRUMHEAD SAVOY. — 
The vitamin content of this cabbage is greater than 
that of any other variety and for this reason it is 
highly desirable. The heads are large, solid, and 
heavy, made up of thick crumpled leaves. The inner 
leaves blanch and are very tender. Eat Savoy cabbage 
for health, because they lead the vegetable list in 
vitamins.

heads.

137—LATE FLAT DUTCH.—A large solid head- 
ing late variety that makes an enormous yield. It is 
a standard late sort and one of the most profitable 
for market. For home gardens it will make a big 
yield of large, hard heads that are excellent for keep- 
ing. The heads are large, very hard, slightly flattened 
on top, and very heavy. Sow seed in June and trans- 
plant as soon as large enough to a rich well prepared 
row, setting plants eighteen inches apart. Cultivate 
frequently and fertilize liberally. When winter comes 
cut the heads and store them in straw in a basement 
or root cellar.

This is one of the most popular late sorts with market 
erowers, because the round heads are so hard that 
insects do little damage to them. The heads are of 
medium size, very hard and heavy giving it a good 
yield. Stems are short with medium growth of outer 
leaves. It is known and recognized on all of the lead- 
ing markets as a good shipper and keeper. \

Cabbage 
Sow the seed during the late winter or early spring 
in well-prepared and fertilized beds. To prepare the 
field for transplanting, apply a fertilizer containing 
Nitrogen 4%, Phosphoric Acid 7%, and Potash 9%, 
at the rate of from one to two thousand pounds per 
acre. This may be applied either broadcast or in the 
rows. Prepare rows 2% to 3 feet apart and set the 
plants 18 to 24 inches apart in the row. Give frequent 
shallow cultivation, keeping the soil worked well up 
around the plants.. An application of fertilizer will 
hasten the growth of the backward plants. For winter 
cabbage, sow the seed in June or July. For extra 
early spring use, sow the seed in September or Octo- 
ber, and transplant in the early winter. 
125 — EARLY JERSEY WAKEFIELD. — The 
heads are of medium size, compact, and pointed, with 
a fair proportion of outer leaves. The color is a rich 
deep green. It is a very quick grower maturing its 
heads about two weeks earlier than Charleston Wake- 
field or Copenhagen Market. Further, it is hardy and 
will stand a great deal of frost and cold weather. In 
the South, the seed may be sowed the last of Septem- 
ber and the young plants will go through the average 
winter and make cabbage for the extra early market 
in the spring.

126—LARGE or CHARLESTON WAKEFIELD. 
This is a larger but a later variety of the Wakefield 
strain. It produces heads similar in shape to the 
Jersey Wakefield, but much larger, and it is about 
ten days later. The leaves are thick, and it will stand 
more cold weather than any other cabbage.

heads more solid and heavier.

131—EARLY FLAT DUTCH.—This is one of the 
most profitable kinds for the market grower. Its 
good qualities and handsome appearance make it a 
good seller, while its ability to stand shipping and 
its enormous yield make it a favorite with the market 
growers. The heads are large, round, flat, solid and 
heavy.
