Cabbage 
CULTURE—Cabbage is an important crop and should be planted in fresh, rich soil, well 
manured and deeply dug or 
plowed. For early use sow in a hotbed in March, transplant 
to the open ground when danger from frost is 
in the rows and the late sorts about 2 feet in 
past. Plant the early sorts about 18 inches 
the rows and the rows about 3 feet apart. 
For the late crops sow in the open ground in June. Our cabbage seed is grown from 
selected stock and is 
Wisconsin Ball- 
head. 100 days. 
Most highly per- 
fected strain of yel- 
lows-resistant cab- 
bage yet introduced. 
A better keeper, of 
finer texture and 
matures earlier 
than Wisconsin No. 
8. We sincerely rec- 
ommend this for 
home garden and 
market growers.
