Copenhagen Market Cabbage 
CABBAGE 
CULTURE. One ounce of seed should produce 
about 3,000 plants. For early Cabbage sow the 
seed in a hotbed in March or April, covering 
the seed from one-quarter to one-half inch 
deep and when big enough transplant to an- 
other bed. As soon as the ground is in good 
condition, transplant outside in rows 2 feet 
apart and 15 to 18 inches in a row. The soil 
should be mellow, rich and well drained. For 
late crops the seed can be sown in a cold 
frame or even in the open ground, and then 
transplanted in rows 3 feet one way and 2 feet 
the other.

in February for early use. In open ground

with very few side roots. Pkt. 10c. 
CELERY

of manure and complete fertilization, moisture 
and cultivation. The most suitable soil is rich 
loam, finely pulverized and highly enriched.
