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 15th for fall, and July 1st to 20th for winter cabbage, in rows 
3% 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 
growing. Postpaid. Pkt. 10c; % oz. 40c; 
oz. 65c; 1% Ib. $1.75; Ib. $5.00. 
*PORTLAND ROUNDHEAD — Devel- 
oped by a local gardener. Heads larger 
than Danish Ballhead and Oregon Ball- 
head. Valuable for late summer markets 
and for kraut in the fall. A very popular 
sort for these purposes. Heads rounded 
in shape and very solid. Seed of our own 
growing. Postpaid. Pkt. 10c; % oz. 40c; 
oz. 65c; %4 Ib. $1.75; Ib. $5.00.

liest cabbage, with small pointed heads.

as solid as Early Jersey Wakefield but 
earlier. Postpaid. Pkt. 10c; % oz. 40c; 
oz. 65c; %4 Ib. $1.75; Ib. $5.00. 
*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—Similar to 
Siedl Ballhead but a little larger. There 
is considerable demand for a smaller 
head than the regular strain of Danish 
Ballhead. This meets that requirement. 
Small solid heads with few exterior 
leaves. 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. Valuable to sow in the 
fall for transplanting in the early spring. 
In some sections this variety is sown for 
greens like collards. Use before the heads 
form. 
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. 
GOLDEN ACRE—An extra early 
round-headed fine quality cabbage, ma- 
turing with Early Jersey Wakefield. The 
heads are firm with few outer leaves and 
average about four pounds. Pkt. 10e; 
% oz. 40c; oz. 65c; %4 Ib. $1.75; Ib. $5.00. 
AMERICAN SAVOY — The best main 
crop Savoy cabbage; quite firm, large 
heads with curly foliage.
