Early Jersey Wakefield Cabbage Cabbage
Earlier than Charleston and smaller heads, more pointed. Extensively grown in the South. I supply large quantities of this to Southern growers, but no so much as of Charleston Wakefield. Price-(10c per pkt.) (25c per oz.) (70c per ¼ lb.) ($2.15 per lb.) (10 lbs., $1.80 per lb.) prepaid. Wholesale price, not prepaid-(20 lbs. And up, $1.60 per lb.). An ounce of cabbage seed is about 6,500 seeds and allowing part for loss will make, say, 3,000 plants, and this means the best seed only costs this year from 10c to 20c per 1,000 plants.
