Frost-Proof Cabbage Plants 
- Mature Heads 2 to 3 
Home Grown Plants 
These 
plants are grown in the open 
field in 
the South, where the soil and 
climatic conditions are just suited for 
growing tough, hardy cabbage plants 
during the winter and early spring. The 
plants make a slow but steady growth, 
until at 8 to 10 weeks of age they are 
very tough and hardy, the buds are pur- 
ple and the outer leaves a reddish brown. 
When in this condition they can be 
shipped to territory farther north and be 
planted in the open ground a ménth 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. 
Frost-Proof Cabbage should be planted 
at least a month earlier than you would 
plant home grown plants, and they will 
mature heads 2 to 3 weeks earlier. We 
can supply plants from January 15 to 
June Ist.
