A packet will produce about 250 plants. 
CABBAGE 
To get very early cabbage in the Northern states, sow the seed in hot- 
beds in February or March, or about six weeks before the ground out- 
side is ready. For medium early crops, sow the seed of early varieties 
outdoors as early as possible and transplant when large enough. On 
rich, well-cultivated land, you will have cabbage in August. For late 
crop, sow in the Northern States about May 20 and set plants out 
July 1. Early varieties may be sown as late as June 10. 
One ounce of seed will produce 
1500 to 2000 plants sown in open ground, or 3000 in frames; Y% lb. to an acre. 
CONTROL OF INSECTS ON CABBAGE 
5% DDT DUST is highly effective against flea beetles, cabbage worms 
and loopers on cabbage, cauliflower and broccoli. A few applications 
will protect them all season. DDT should not be used within 30 days 
of harvest, and Rotenone is a good safe insecticide to use thereafter. — 
It is also very good on broccoli and cauliflower, and may be used as 
a dust or spray. See page 82. 
EARLY AND MIDSEASON CABBAGE 
Golden Acre Special 
Gerd Simers of Norway notes the fine round heads of our strain. 
251 MEDIUM COPENHAGEN. YELLOWS RESISTANT. 
70 days. This excellent new resistant strain is so uniform and productive 
that it may largely replace the regular Copenhagen and also Marion 
Market. It is an early midseason type, maturing just after Goldén 
Acre and is useful all season as it tolerates heat and stands well without 
splitting. 
The heads are well-rounded and firm, medium in size (3 to 5 lbs.) 
and of attractive blue-green color. Ideal for market and shipping and 
of excellent table quality. The plants are vigorous but compact and 
the yields are heavy. Recommended whether or not you have yellows 
in the soil. 
Pkt. 15c; % Oz. 40c; Oz. 75c; 14 Lb. $2.15; 44 Lb. $3.50; Lb. $6.50. 
250 COPENHAGEN MARKET. 70 days. A popular old favorite for both 
home and market. It is somewhat larger and several days later than 
Golden Acre and the quality is very fine. The heads are round and 
even in type, not too large, and the yields are good under a wide range 
of conditions. Our strain is a second-early type, more vigorous and 
productive and slightly bigger than most.

261 EARLY JERSEY WAKEFIELD. Very Early Pointed Heads. 64 days. For 
really tender, sweet early cabbage in the garden, plant Early Jersey 
Wakefield. The plants are small and the heads are pointed on top and 
rounded at the base. They are so mild-flavored, crisp and delicious that 
we vastly prefer them to the harder round-headed market varieties 
for our own table use.

271 GOLDEN ACRE SPECIAL. The Finest Early Cabbage. 
62 days. This special strain of Golden Acre is the best early cabbage 
yet developed. Ripening several days earlier than most strains, it has 
proved to be the ideal variety for home and market growers, because 
of its uniformity and fine quality. 
The round heads are medium sized, solid yet tender and dslicioes and 
they ripen so evenly that they can all be harvested over a very short 
period. The compact plants permit close planting, making bigger yields 
per acre. For a dependable, sure-heading extra early cabbage, critical 
growers choose our strain—without question the best obtainable. 
Pkt. 20c; 144 Oz. 45c; Oz. 75c; 144 Lb. $2.00; 144 Lb. $3.25; Lb. $6.00. 
272 GOLDEN ACRE, YELLOWS RESISTANT. Hard, Uniform Heads. 
63 days. Early and uniform, this outstanding resistant strain is by 
far the best in its class. It ripens almost at the same time as our Golden 
Acre Special and nearly every plant makes a fine round head. The 
plants are compact, permitting close planting, and the even firm heads 
are medium-sized and of fine quality. A most important early strain 
wherever there is any trace of yellows in the soil, and so refined and 
attractive that we can highly recommend it anywhere.

Firm, uniform heads. 
281 MARION MARKET. Yellows Resistant. Favored for Midseason. 
77 days. A resistant midseason variety widely grown for market, 
kraut and home use. The plants and heads are larger than Copenhagen 
Market and ripen later. Our stock is noted for its uniformity, producing 
well-rounded, solid heads of fine type and quality. Highly resistant to 
yellows, it is a most dependable, heavy-yielding cabbage. 
Pkt. 10c; % Oz. 35ce; Oz. 65c; 14 Lb. $1.70; 4% Lb. $2.75; Lb. $5.00. 
290 RED ACRE. The éarliest Red Cabbage. 
76 days. This excellent strain is famous for its dependable early 
yields, fine quality and its ability to stand a long time without splitting. 
The beautifully colored heads are deep globe in shape, medium-sized 
and ripen early, yet will keep well in storage. 
For market, this red cabbage is exactly what is wanted, uniform and 
sure heading under many conditions, and nearly always sells well. For 
home use, it is equally fine and we highly recommend it.
