CABBAGE 
Except varieties specially priced— 
eee 10c; %% oz., 20c; oz., 35c; 14 Ib., 
Planting Instructions The different kinds of 
cabbages vary so much that it is impossible to lay 
down precise rules for the cultivation of even each 
entire class or section. A cool, moist climate has 
been proven the most suitable of all for culture of 
cabbages. Heat and drought are very injurious to 
them, while they grow well in moist, foggy weather, 
even when somewhat cold. The ground should be 
dug rather deeply and plentifully fertilized. Cover 
the seed 4% to % inch deep. Early varieties may be 
set close as 16 or 18 inches, the rows being 30 to 36 
inches apart. For late varieties leave 18 to 24 inches 
between plants. Plants started in cold frames are set 
out early in April and seeds: planted at the same time 
will give plants for succession crop. Plants for the 
late crop are started in May or June. ‘These are 
then transplanted to where the crop is to grow. 
Plants should be watered from time to time during 
the summer, and should be protected from insects. 
Our cabbage seed is very carefully selected and 
true to type. One ounce of seed will produce about 
2,000 plants.
