OF Cabbage seeds are 
all grown from seed 
stock of finest quality, carefully inspected 
while growing. The choicest heads are selected 
for storing over Winter and replanted the fol- 
lowing season for seed. Constant re-selection 
from the seed growing stock is required to 
maintain quality. No finer or purer strains of 
cabbage can be found anywhere than the 
Buist’s high bred “Prize Medal” American- 
grown stocks. : 
Culture—For early Cabbage sow 1 in. deep 
under glass toward the end of February and 
as the plants grow, harden them to the full 
exposure of the air, protecting them from 
frost until the early Spring, when they should 
be transplanted into rows 2 to 3 ft. apart and 
18 ins. in the row. = 
For late Cabbage sow in the open ground 
from the middle to the end of Spring and set 
the plants out in June or July during moist 
weather, giving them a thorough watering at 
time of removal. Plant 3 ft. apart and 2 ft. in 
the row. Seedlings from late sowings are often 
destroyed by the cabbage fly, gwhich necessi- 
tates sowing sufficient seed for surplus plants. 
For Fall-grown plants sow the seed in Septem- 
ber. In mild climates they should be planted 
out late in Autumn, to remain for heading. In 
cold latitudes they must be protected in cold 
rames and transplanted in the open ground 
early in Spring. Good heads, of course, can 
only be obtained when the ground has been 
well worked and highly fertilized. In setting 
out, cover to the first leaf-stems so that the 
stem is all under ground. Cultivate frequently 
to maintain moisture.
