CABBAGE 
1 ounce for 2500 plants; 6 ounces for an acre 
We List Only the Best Varieties 
We are large growers and shippers of cabbage, growing and shipping hundreds of cars yearly. We 
test and try out on our vegetable farms, every new introduction of cabbage and the varieties listed 
herein are those found to be best adapted to the soil and climatic conditions of the West. 
CULTURE: The ground should be well fertilized, 
deeply plowed (fall plowed if possible). For early 
planting sow seeds of the early varieties in hotbeds 
the first part of February. For second early and later 
crops sow in March and April, in hotbeds or cold 
frames. The plants should be set in rows 24 to 3 feet 
apart and from 12 to 18 inches apart in the rows, 
according to the richness of the soil—the richer the 
soil the closer they may be grown. Until the plants 
start to head they should have frequent cultivation. 
Seed for midseason and late crops can be drilled out 
in the field during April and thinned instead of trans- 
planted. Use Cubor for cabbage worms; aphis (plant 
lice), Black Leaf 40, Vapatone or Chlordane (Colorado 
44). See pages 90-91.
