CABBAGE 
There is no vegetable more universally cultivated. 
It is found in the poorest and smallest garden and it 
responds so readily to better care that it claims a place 
in the finest garden and the attention of the most 
skilled gardeners. 
CuLtTuRE.—Sow the early sorts in autumn and protect 
by a coldframe during the winter; transplant early in 
spring or sow seed in hotbed and transplant. Or, sow in 
the open ground, as early in the spring as the ground can 
be worked. They should be sown im drills 4 to 6 Inches 
apart. When plants are 6 inches high transplant into 
richly manured ground, the early kinds 2 feet apart, the 
later kinds, for winter use, 3 feet apart. The ground should 
be deeply loosened, worked thoroughly to grow large heads. 
One ounce of seed will sow 40 square feet of ground 
and will produce from 2000 to 3000 plants. 
EXTRA-EARLY VARIETIES 
Copenhagen Market. 70 days. This is an early, 
round, solid head with a small core. It has an ex- 
ceptionally fine flavor and is much used by both 
home and market gardeners. An excellent short- 
season type, desirable also for early kraut. 
Copenhagen Market (Market Garden Strain). 63 days. 
One of the earliest, large, round-headed Cabbages. 
We recommend it for planting in the South. It is 
very compact, with not many outside leaves, and the 
round heads are borne on short stems. Somewhat 
earlier than our regular Copenhagen Market. Heads 
average around 8 pounds. 
Early Dwarf Flat Dutch. 70 days. Early market and 
shipping variety. Heads nearly round, about 8 by 
6 inches, 4 to 5 pounds, with short stems; solrd and 
of good quality. 
Early Jersey Wakefield. 65 days. The most popular 
early Cabbage on the market today. It heads up 
remarkably hard and solid, with but few outside 
leaves, which are unusually thick and heavy, enabling 
It to stand cold weather without injury when carried 
through the winter either in the open ground or in 
coldframes. 
Golden Acre. 65 days. This is the earliest variety of 
the round-head type. It ts similar to the well-known 
Copenhagen Market except that it is much earlier 
and both stalk and head are smaller. Heads are of 
medium size, round, smooth and solid. 
Chinese or 
Celery Cabbage, 
Chihili 
SECOND-EARLY VARIETIES 
Charleston Wakefield. 73 days. Excellent for home, 
trucking, and shipping. Large heart-shaped heads, 
a half Iarger than Early Jersey and a week later. 
Glory of Enkhuizen. 83 days. A good midseason 
variety. The heads are medium large, round and 
solid with few outer leaves. It is used for both kraut 
and winter storage. A splendid shipping variety. 
LATE CABBAGE 
Danish Roundhead Short-Stem. 105 days. This 
variety has been used for many years by large 
market growers and is considered a grand header. 
Heads are round, solid, and attractive for market. 
It ts equally good for fall and winter use.

general use and an excellent keeper. Heads nearly

grown for late or main winter crop than any other. 
Heads very large, solid and broad, with flat tops of 
fine flavor and quality; very short stems and sure to 
head. With good cultivation 95 per cent will make 
heads for market.

fessor C. E. Myers of Pennsylvania State College. 
A selected. strain. of Danish Ballhead. Heads are 
hard. and attractive. A large-yielding winter va-

round-headed, yellows-resistant varieties. Heads 
small, solid, and of a fine quality.

drumhead variety. This strain 1s exceptionally hardy 
and withstands drought, hot weather and insect in- 
festation.

Danish Ballhead. The first variety of yellows- 
resistant Cabbage seed released from the University 
of Wisconsin and now greatly improved as to type, 
quality, and resistance since the first introduction.

foliage. Heavy yielder, ideal for winter storage.

the Chinese of the Pacific Coast. It belongs to the
