CABBAGE- Ger. Kopfkohl.
One ounce will produce about 3,000 plants.
The cabbage requires a deep rich soil and thorough working to insure good, solid, full sized heads. Sow early sorts in hot-beds in February or March, or in open ground as soon as it can be worked. Later or winter crops, in May or June, in shallow drills, six inches apart. When the plants are four inches high, transplant into richly manured ground; the early kinds two feet apart. Compared with the cost of seed, there is more money in growing cabbage than any other crop, and there is nothing which growers should be more particular about. It is of the utmost importance that you should have the best grade of cabbage seed. We have used great care this year in selecting our stock, and can heartily recommend it to you.
Use Slug Shot for cabbage worms.
NEW EXTRA EARLY EXPRESS- Introduced in 1888 by a seed firm in France who also introduced the Etampes, now so justly popular.

ALL SEASONS- This most excellent new variety is as early as Henderson's Summer, and makes considerable larger and harder heads. It is very reliable for heading and of superior quality.

All should give this excellent Cabbage a trial. (See cut) Per 1/4 lb. $1; oz. 30c... 10.
