84 days. Bred from All Seasons and has inherited all the YELLOWS-R ESISTANT CABBAGE 
good qualities of that excellent cabbage. It is the hardiest 
of all flathead varieties and is much in demand for making 
kraut. Heads are hard and solid. Stands hot weather un- 
usually well. Recommended for ‘‘yellows’’-infested land 
as it is highly resistant to ‘“‘yellows’’ as well as cabbage 
mosaic. On soils not infested with yellows, plant non- 
resistant All Seasons or other non-resistant varieties. 
Yellows-resistant strains were introduced by the Wisconsin Agri- 
cultural Experiment Station so that cabbages could be grown in 
localities where infested ‘‘cabbage-yellows”’ soil had prevented non- 
resistant varieties from producing a crop. If you live in such a 
locality and have had trouble, try the following highly ‘‘yellows’’- 
resistant varieties:

How to Grow Cabbage 
For earliest crop, start early and mid- 
season cabbage seed in hotbed or house; 
for medium early cabbage, seed may be 
sown in a coldframe or open-ground seed- 
bed in early spring. Sow late cabbage for 
winter use in a seed-bed outdoors when 
soil has become warm. A pkt., except O-S 
Cross, will produce about 250 plants; 
an oz. about 2000 plants. Days to maturity 
are from the time the plants are set in 
the garden; allow 30 days to produce 
plants from seed. Cabbage does best in 
deep, rich, loamy soil and should be given 
plenty of water during prolonged dry 
spells. Space early cabbage plants 18 in. 
apart in rows 2}4 ft. apart; the large mid- 
season and late varieties 2 ft. apart in 
rows 2% to 3 ft. apart. Cabbage should 
never be planted in the same location 
where it, cauliflower, broccoli, or any of 
the cabbage family, had been planted the 
previous year. Healthy, solid heads of late 
cabbage may be stored for winter use.
