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 Ist 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.

*GILL’S OREGON BALLHEAD — The ac- 
knowledged leader in the Pacific Northwest for a 
main crop Winter cabbage. 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 pur- 
poses. The outer leaves are deep green and will 
hold their color weeks after cutting. It is the best 
keeper of all. The outstanding commercial cab- 
bage and the most popular Winter sort. We be- 
lieve 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 market in February or March.
