CABBAGE 
CULTURE—Early 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 15 for fall, and July 1st to 20th for winter cabbage, in rows 
2% 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 
any good well-balanced commercial fertilizer. 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 
and 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 
commercial cabbage and the most popu- 
lar winter sort. We believe this is the 
most persistent heading of any winter 
cabbage. Often when planted too. late 
in the summer for full maturity the 
heads develop hard and ready for market 
in February or March. Seed of our own

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. Valuable to sow in the 
fall for transplanting in the early spring. 
LARGE WAKEFIELD or CHARLES- 
TON — Similar to Jersey Wakefield, but 
half again as large and ten days later. 
GLORY OF ENKHUIZEN — The best 
variety for summer or early 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 satis- 
factory as a winter cabbage. Tender 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.
