Cabbage 
One ounce of seed produces about 1500 to 2000 plants sown in open ground or 3000 plants if sown in 
frame; a packet about 250 plants; 4 ounces will produce plants for an acre. 
For early harvest sow in flats under glass, 8 to 10 seeds per inch in 2-inch rows from Ferbuary to 
March. Transplant in flats 2 by 2 inches when the first true leaves appear. Avoid crowding, drying 
out or over-watering. Harden off by gradual exposure and withhold watering a week or 10 days before 
setting in the field. Soak thoroughly just before transplanting. Set outside 14 to 18 inches by 24 
inches apart as soon as ground can be prepared after danger of hard frost. When transplanting, the 
field soil should be slightly richer than the soil in which the seedling plants were grown. For later 
harvest sow at two-week intervals outdoors 5 to 6 weeks before transplanting in the field. If you want 
high quality and bigger crops, plant Holmes’ Cabbage seed.

Yellows-Resistant Cabbage Seed 
Since many farms have “yellows sick” soil, yellows-resistant varieties should be planted more. In 
many sections they are the only varieties which will succeed. Even if the yellows infection is slight, 
and ordinary kinds can be grown, yellows-resistant varieties usually do better and produce larger crops. Penn State Ballhead 
: See : : Most Excellent for Fall and Winter 
The yellows-resistant varieties have been so improved that in nearly all cases they are as true and 
uniform as the similar non-resistant kinds. Our stocks below are the best—none better.
