CABBAGE 
CULTURE—Early varieties should be sown in the open ground in early September or in cola 
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 lst to August 1st 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 erowd 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;

EARLY JERSEY WAKEFIELD—tThis 
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.

round-headed fine quality cabbage, ma- 
turing with Early Jersey Wakefield. The
