In Cabbage particularly tbe marketable value of the crop depends primarily npon tbe quality of tbe seed. It is a fact that seed grown in California or Europe (of American varieties)—so largely sold* by dealers because it is cheap—cannot be relied upon to produce good crops throughout America. The best Cabbage seed is grown in Bucks County. Pa., and upon Loug Island.
