SAUERKRAUT— Mix finely cut up cabbage with salt. One 
heaping tablespoonful to a gallen of cabbage. Press into the 
jar, tamp it as solid as possible then cover up with a few 
cabbage leaves, place board and heavy rock on top, keep in 
a warm place for two weeks then move to the coolest place 
at your disposal. If you should not have enough brine add 
water as sauerkraut must be submerged at all times to pre- 
vent spoiling. 
SOW IN FLATS is mentioned often in this catalog. A 
“flat” is a box 18 in. long, 12 in. wide and 3 in. deep. A flat 
holds 100 plants once transplanted and fits the standard frame 
or hot bed. The bottom of flat must not be close fitting to 
assure perfect drainage and to insure perfect drainage all 
experienced growers lay on the bottom “short” manure or 
straw. The flat is filled with sifted soil, the soil is shaked 
down but NEVER packed down and this again in order to 
insure good drainage. Without good drainage healthy and 
robust plants are out of question.

MONEY FROM SAUERKRAUT 
You can make some extra money by making sauerkraut. 
Make it early in the season. Do not wait for cool weather. 
There are many people that would buy it. These people do 
not buy ONLY because there is no sauerkraut to be had at 
the time. One can always buy sauerkraut in cans, but many, 
do not want canned sauerkraut. 
If you want sauerkraut of the finest quality use either 
Early or Late Flat Dutch cabbage for this purpose. Inform 
your customers in plenty of time that you will have high 
class home made sauerkraut. 
You can also sell tomatoes made into Catsup, chow chow, 
etc., dill pickles, pickled onions, beets, etc. You will prosper 
if what you put up, will be of the highest quality. 
MORE MONEY FOR CABBAGE 
You will get more money for early cabbage if you will start the 
seed in frames as is the usual practice—BUT—not erowd the plants. 
Give them plenty of reom, twice as much as you used to de. You 
will have robust plants with stems as big around as your little 
finger and sueh plants you will set out instead of the spindly things 
raised in an overerowded box. Following this methed you will gaim 
from 15 to 20 days and get for a dozen heads more than you 
Jater in the season for two dozen.
