SPECIAL EARLY 
WAKEFIELD. 
(68 days.) There are nu- 
merous stocks of this well 
known early cabbage, but 
we believe our market gar- 
deners strain to be earlier 
and larger than most of 
them. The conical or 
pointed heads average from 
2V2 to 3 pounds, and are 
of splendid quality. Equally 
good for the home garden, 
market garden, or for ship- 
ping. Pkt., 10c; oz., 30¢; 
VY Ib., 90c; Ib., $2.75; 5 
Ibs., $12.50, postpaid. 
CABBAGE 
1 ounce will plant a row 100 feet long, and produce 1500 strong plants. 6 ounces 
will produce enough strong plants to set an acre—days of maturity are reckoned from 
the time the plants are set out until they are ready to cut. 
Culture: Cabbage does best on medium stiff soil that has been thoroughly dug or 
plowed deeply, and heavily manured, or made rich with 6-6-5 fertilizer at the rate 
of 25 Ibs. per 100 yards. For an early spring crop, sow in a gentle hotbed in 
February 14 inch deep in rows 6 inches apart, and transplant when weather conditions 
are suitable. The seed may also be sown in beds out-of-doors in April, and trans- 
planted when the plants are large enough. For fall crop, the seed is sown in July 
and while it may be sown in beds, the usual method is to drill the seed where the 
Cabbage are to be grown, using 2 lbs. to the acre and thinning the plants 18 to 24 
inches in the row. In the vicinity of Norfolk, the early spring crop of Wakefield 
Cabbage is sown out-of-doors in beds in late September, and the plants set in the 
field the last of November or early in December. The small or early types are sown 
in rows 3 feet apart, leaving 15 to 18 inches between the plants. The large or late 
types are sown in rows 3 feet 6 inches, leaving 18 to 24 inches between the plants. 
After the plants are set out, they should be frequently cultivated, drawing the earth 
to the stems at each cultivation until the heads begin to form at which time one 
final cultivation should be given. Cabbage should never be grown two seasons in 
succession on the same land.
