CABBAGE 
A typical plant of Marion Market (Yellows Resistant) Cabbage 
Culture. Cabbage is a heavy feeder and should be 
grown rapidly. For maximum yields on sandy loam 
soils 1500 to 2000 lbs. per acre of a 4-7-5 fertilizer mix- 
ture should be applied in the row a few days prior to 
setting plants. In addition, two or three side dressings 
of Nitrate of Potash or Nitrate of Soda should be made 
at three to four week intervals. You cannot grow a big, 
heavy crop of cabbage on a starvation ration. Where 
planted in seedbeds, which is the desirable and com- 
mon practice, plant seed thin in drills 6 inches apart, 
cover %4 to % inch deep, using 6 ounces of seed for an 
acre of plants, and do not make the soil in seedbeds as 
rich as soil where plants are to be set. When seed is 
planted in the field, use 12 ounces of seed per acre. 
Make rows 2) to 3 feet apart and set plants 12 to 18 
inches apart in row, depending on variety and size of 
head you wish to produce. If you desire small heads, 
crowd the plants; for large heads, place further apart. 
For a winter crop of cabbage in Florida seed is sown in 
September and early October. For an early spring crop 
plant in November or early December. For the control 
of cabbage insects and diseases see page 53. 
To control downy mildew disease in cabbage seed- 
beds use Wettable Spergon Spray or Spergon Dust (See 
page 53). For the prevention of downy mildew and 
other cabbage diseases in the field use Dithane D-14 
spray or Dithane dust. (See page 53). 
Our cabbage seed is grown in disease-free territory 
on the Pacific coast where Black Rot has never been 
found by plant pathologists who inspect our seed grow- 
ing fields each year. 
The number of days in parentheses after each variety 
indicates the relative number of days to secure market- 
able heads from setting out plants in the field or garden. 
From the time seed is sown until the plants are ready 
for the field or garden thirty to thirty-five days are 
usually required. 
Prices quoted are postpaid.

JERSEY WAKEFIELD. (62 days.) Our stock has been 
bred and selected especially for earliness. Very resist- 
ant to cold weather. The small, medium-sized, conical- 
shaped, pointed heads are very firm, of finest quality, 
and especially desirable for home use. 
Pkt. 10c: oz. 25c: % Ib. 75c; 1 Ib. $2.50 
5 to 25 lbs. $2.40 per Ib. 
CHARLESTON WAKEFIELD. (70 days.) The heads 
are larger and broader at the base, not quite so pointed 
and later in maturing than Jersey Wakefield. Of 
uniform size, very solid and of very desirable market 
quality. Very resistant to cold weather and premature 
seeding. 
Pkt. 10c: oz. 25c; 1% lb. 75c; 1 Ib. $2.50 
5 to 25 lbs. $2.40 per lb. 
Sow 6 ounces in seedbed to plant an acre or 12 ounces per acre in field. 
For the garden, sow 1 packet in seedbed for 50 plants to set 60 feet of row. 
MARION MARKET (Yellows Resistant). (75 days.) This 
is a late maturing, disease-resistant strain of Copen- 
hagen Market, highly resistant to Yellows. Larger and 
coarser in growth than Copenhagen Market but makes 
somewhat heavier yields, with large, firm, solid heavy 
heads. Will produce a normal crop and heavy yield on 
Yellows infested soil where non-resistant varieties will 
fail. We have an improved, true to type strain of this 
popular variety. 
Pkt. 10c; oz. 25c; %4 lb. 75c; 1 Ib. $2.50 
5 to 25 lbs. $2.40 per lb. 
MIDSEASON MARKET. (75 days.) Our strain is uni- 
form as to type and time of maturity, cutting over 50% 
perfect heads at the first harvest when seeded in the 
field. The heads are of medium size, hard, globe- 
shaped on short stems. Leaves are dark green, thick 
and leathery, making this variety hardy and resistant 
to cold damage, and also making it a good shipper in 
bags, the heads not being bruised so readily as other 
varieties. Of crisp texture and good quality. 
Pkt. 10c: oz. 25c; Y% lb. 75c; 1 1b. $2.50 
5 to 25 lbs. $2.40 per lb. 
RESISTANT COPENHAGEN MARKET (Yellows Re- 
sistant) (New) (70 days.) With the increased interest in 
Cabbage Yellows Resistance in Florida, which Cabbage 
Yellows disease has now been found in certain north 
Florida soils, the only way to combat it being by 
planting Yellows Resistant strains or varieties, we are 
offering a resistant strain of Copenhagen Market which 
can be successfully grown in Yellows infested soils 
where non-resistant varieties or strains would be a 
failure. Our strain of Yellows Resistant Copenhagen 
Market is slightly later than our regular Copenhagen 
Market (Early Strain No. 86). In other general charac- 
ters it is similar, producing uniform, medium size, 
round, hard firm heads, bright to dark green in color, 
maturing practically all at one time. A most desirable 
strain of Copenhagen Market to grow as insurance 
against the dreaded “Cabbage Yellows Disease.” 
Pkt. 10c; oz. 45c; “% Ib. $1.40; 1 1b. $5.00 
5 to 25 lbs. $4.90 per lb. 
COPENHAGEN MARKET (Early Strain No. 86). (68 
days.) Our early strain of Copenhagen Market has be- 
come very popular in all the large cabbage producing 
sections of Florida. It is short-stemmed, compact with 
very solid, round, medium-sized heads, having few outer 
leaves, thus facilitating close planting, very uniform in 
shape, and matures practically all at the same time. 
This uniform maturity is desirable from a marketing 
standpoint.
