Cabbage is a crop which is grown
by every market gardener located
within wagon.hauling distance Of an
important center Of consumption. The
statistics of the distribution Of the
cultivation Of the cabbage clearly indi-
cate the fact that this is one Of the
most important crops grown by
market gardeners.
The counties near each Of the i'm
portant centers of population Of the
United States are almost universally
credited with a considerable acreage
of cabbage, thus showing that the
gardeners Of these regions have given
considerable attention to the produc.
tior Of this crop.

CABBAGE ALWAYS IN DEMAND
One Of Most Universally Grown Crops
and Finds Place In Home Gar
den and Truck Farm.

Cabbage is one of the most unlveF-
sally cultivated of our garden plants.
Although It 10 one Of the coarser vego-
tables 1t finds place in the home gar
den as we'll as in the market garden
and truck farm. In some sections Of
the United States cabbage is extern
sively grown as a farm crop.
According to the last census New
York state grew more than $4,000
acres Of cabbage; Pennsylvania, nearly
1000; while Virginia grew about
10000 acres. The three states men,
toned outrank all others by at least
1000 acres. No adequate estimate
can be placed on the value Of this
crop. as It fiuctuates very decidedly.
both in acreage and in price, from
year to year.
Early cabbage is practically all con-
sumed as a green vegetable. The late
crop, on the other hand, is handled as
fresh vegetable. as a storage crop.
and for the manufacture OF sauer-
kraut. Cabbage is always In demand,
and under present conditions 1t is
always available, either as the prod
uct of southern truck farm or
northern farm. garden. or storage
house.
The group OF cultivated plants
which has been derived from the wild
cabbage presents a greater diversity
Of form than that derived from any
other single ancestral type.
Wild cabbage is a robust-growing
broadleaved plant enjoying the low,
moist areas near the seacoast OF
southern Europe. The most closely
allied form now in cultivation is the
collard. The wide variation In the
group is illustrated by the diversity Of
form shown in collards. kale. tree cab
bage, marrow kale, cauliflower, and
Brussels sprouts. II Is almost beyond
the bounds OF reason to believe that
all these forms have been derived
from a common parentage, yet such is
the fact.
In no truck crop does the character
OF the seed count for more than in
cabbage. 1t is very essential that the
crop come to marketable maturity
early, that the heads be uniform in
size and character. and that they
mature SO that the whole crop can be
harvested at two cuttings. The small
saving made by the purchase Of cheap
or inferior seed is usually paid for a
hundred times over in the lessened
value of the crop. A grower can not
