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 Ist, transplant June 15th for Fall, and July 1st to August lst 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. 
PRICES—Unless noted: Postpaid. Pkt. 
10c; 142 02.35c; 02. 65c; 14 1b. $1.60; lb. $4.65. 
*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 mar- 
ket in February or March. Seed of our 
own growing. Postpaid. Pkt. 10c; % oz. 
40c; oz. 75c; 14 Ib. $1.75; Ib. $5.25.

able for crating and local sales where

market gardeners. The seed is in short

what earlier than Oregon Ballhead. This

solid and of good quality.

*PORTLAND ROUNDHEAD — Devel- 
oped by a local gardener. Heads larger 
than Danish Ballhead and Oregon Ball- 
head. Valuable for late summer markets 
and for kraut in the fall. A very popular 
sort for these purposes. Heads rounded in 
shape and very solid. Postpaid. Pkt. 10c; 
1% oz. 40c; oz. 70c; 14 Ib. $1.75; Ib. $5.00. 
EARLY JERSEY WAKEFIELD — This 
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 earli- 
est of some twenty strains we tested. 
Valuable to sow in the Fall for trans- 
planting in the early Spring. In some 
sections this variety is sown for greens 
like collards. Use before the heads form. 
GLORY OF ENKHUIZEN — Best va- 
riety for Summer or early Fall for its 
tendency is to produce large heads even 
in dry weather. It can be used for early 
Spring crops. It is not satisfactory 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. 
GOLDEN ACRE—Super Early Strain. 
An extra early round-headed fine qual- 
ity cabbage, maturing with Early Jersey 
Wakefield. The heads are firm with few 
outer leaves and average about four 
pounds. Pkt. 10c; % oz. 40c; oz. 70c; 
\% Ib. $1.75; Ib. $5.00.
