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 list, transplant June 15th for Fall, and July Ist to August Ist 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 
Northwest for a main crop Winter cab- 
bage. 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 popular 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

of hardy cabbage. We have secured a 
special strain with solid heads and few

planting in the early Spring. In some 
sections this variety is sown for greens 
like collards. Use before the heads form.

and sweet.
