very tough and hardy, the buds are pur- 
ple and the outer leaves a reddish brown.

shipped to territory farther north and be 
planted in the open ground a month or 
six weeks sooner than the home grown 
hot bed or cold frame plants. These 
Frost-Proof Cabbage Plants will stand a 
temperature of 20 degrees above zero.

at least a month earlier than you would 
plant home grown plants, and they will 
mature heads 2 to 3 weeks earlier. We
