CABBAGE 
CULTURE—Farly varieties should be sown in the open ground in early September or in cold 
frame in January or February. We do not recommend sowing in hotbeds as plants will be too tender. 
For earliest cabbage, transplant fall sown plants in late October or early November. For late, sow seed 
in open ground May Ist, transplant June 45 for fall, and July 1st to 20th for winter cabbage, in rows 
342 feet apart, from 25 to 36 inches in the row, according to the richness of the soil, size and variety. 
Do not crowd them. They do best in rich, loamy soil, fertilized with barnyard manure of any kind and 
well-balanced fertilizer applied as directed. Early Jersey Wakefield, Large Wakefield, All Head Early, 
Danish Ballhead and Oregon Ballhead can be sown in the fall for spring and summer cutting. They 
seldom run to seed. Golden Acre, Copenhagen Market and Glory of Enkhuizen will not winter over 
without running to seed.

*“GILL’S OREGON BALLHEAD—The 
acknowledged leader in the Pacific North- 
west for a main crop winter cabbage. We 
have developed this strain until it excels 
all others for solidity, resistance to aphis 
or freeze injury. It is the best cabbage for 
crating or general market purposes. The 
outer leaves are deep green and will hold 
their color weeks after cutting. It is the 
best keeper of all. The outstanding com- 
mercial cabbage and the most popular 
winter sort. We believe this is the most 
persistent heading of any winter cabbage. 
Often when planted too late in the sum- 
mer for full maturity the heads develop 
hard and ready for market in Februarv 
or March. Seed of our own growing.

EARLY JERSEY WAKEFIELD 
SPECIAL — This is still very valuable 
for the earliest crop of hardy cabbage. We 
have secured a special strain with solid 
heads and few outside leaves. It also 
matured the earliest of some twenty 
strains we tested. 
LARGE WAKEFIELD or CHARLES- 
TON — Similar to Jersey Wakefield, but 
half again as large and ten days later. 

Cabbage, Gill’s Oregon Ballhead 
GLORY OF ENKHUIZEN — The best 
variety for summer or fall crops, for its 
tendency is to produce large heads even 
in dry weather. It can also be used for 
early spring crops. It is not satisfactory 
as a winter cabbage. Brittle and sweet. 
ALL HEAD EARLY—A second early 
flat headed sort, very sure heading and 
little subject to bursting. Extra fine for 
kraut. Very desirable for fall. 
*DANISH BALLHEAD (Short Stem) 
—This is the regular Ballhead type so 
long imported from Denmark. Some- 
what earlier than Oregon Ballhead. This 
is a fine strain of Danish Ballhead of our 
own growing. Medium sized head, very 
solid and of good quality. 
DANISH BALLHEAD 415 — There is 
considerable demand ‘for a smaller head 
than the regular strain of Danish Ball- 
head. This meets that requirement.

leaves. “sséed’ “of ‘oure. own “growing:

age. We carry a very fine strain of this 
new cabbage in seed of our own growing.

crop Savoy cabbage; quite firm, large 
heads with curly foliage.

of ballhead type. Deep red and of high 
quality. An extra fine winter cabbage.
