12 THE FRANK 8S. PLATT COMPANY 
Cabbage Kopfkohe—Berza de Repello—Cappucie 
The Cabbage requires a deep, rich soil and thorough working. For early use the plants should be 
started in a hotbed or cold frame; but seed for winter cabbage should be sown in a seed bed for 
Connecticut the last of May and transplanted when 4 to 6 inches high. Some of the large late varieties 
seem to do well if the seed is sown in the hills where they are to remain, and in that case sow two or 
three seeds where each plant is desired, and then pull up all but the strongest. Plant the large varieties 
three feet apart; the small early sorts from a foot to eighteen inches. The Savoy cabbages 
have crumpled leaves, and are of fine, flavor, especially after a little frost has touched them in the autumn. 
Golden Acre Cabbage. The earliest round head- 
ed cabbage, similar in type, somewhat smaller, and 
ten days earlier than Copenhagen Market. Per pkt., 
10c.; 0z., 50c.; %-lb., $1.50; Ib., $4.50. 
Copenhagen Market. Exceptionally hard and 
solid, round heads; average eight pounds each, of 
fine quality, few outer leaves, small core and nearly 
as early as Jersey Wakefield, with greater yield, 
also desirable for fall and early winter use. Our 
seed is grown for us in Denmark, where the finest 
stocks of Copenhagen Market Cabbage are pro- 
ee Ieee iol, Wee GA, Mee cil, Sse ily, 
Early Jersey Wakefield. Heads very solid, pyra- 
midal, blunted at the top. The best and most popu- 
lar early pointed head. Our stock is especially bred 
for earliness and uniformity. Per pkt., 10c.; oz., 
45c.; %-lb., $1.30; Ib., $4.00. 
Charleston or Large Wakefield. Similar to Early 
Jersey Wakefield, but larger and a little later. Per

Danish Ball Head Cabbage 
Glory of Enkhuisen. An excellent, second early, 
two weeks later than Copenhagen Market. The 
large round, solid, very uniform head, with short 
stem and few outer leaves, allows close planting. 
It is a good cropper and adapted not only as a 
second early but for fall and early winter use. Per 
pkt., 10c.; 0z., 50c.; %4-lb., $1.50; Ib., $4.50.

heading sort for summer and fall use. Per pkt., 10c.;

Copenhagen Market Cabbage 
Danish Ball Head. Short stem. Late, round, 
hard-headed; the longest keeper and finest quality.

$1.50; Ib., $4.50. 
Perfection Drumhead Savoy. Reliable, large, 
round, late heading, densely crumpled. The Savoy 
Cabbage is of richer quality and should be more 
extensively grown. Takes about the same time to 
make crop as the Danish Ball Head. Per pkt., 15c.; 
oz., 50c.; %4-lb., $1.50; Ib., $4.50. 
RED VARIETIES

Improved Peking. Long slender variety. Some- 
times called Chinese celery cabbage, though resemb- 
ling more nearly the Cos Lettuce; used as a salad or
