BREEDERS AND GROWERS OF SEEDS FOR CANNERS 11 CABBAGE Native of Western Asia, Cultivated since the Earliest Times. Our Cabbage seed is produced largely in the Puget Sound section of Washington under our personal direction from seed stocks of highest quality. Some strains are grown for us in sections of Europe where experience has shown that exceptionally high quality is assured. Each year the various varieties are checked at our Milford, Connecticut breeding farms to guard the vital factors of earliness, evenness of maturity and uniformity. Culture — Sow seed in plant bed in drills 8 to 9 inches apart in May and plants will be ready to transplant in the field in July. Plants should be set at distance of 12 to 18 inches in rows 2 to 3 feet apart, so as to allow for machine cultivation. One ounce of seed will produce 4000 plants ; 3 to 4 ounces required per acre. Rich, heavy clay loam with abundant moisture is the best soil for Cabbage.
