Description:
The original variety of non-heading type cabbage, also known as Southern or Creole. Grows up to 2½ feet tall, producing broad, crumpled leaves. Very popular in the South and gaining popularity elsewhere. Grown for its succulent, juicy leaves with a mild cabbage-like flavor.

SOWING:
Sow seed outdoors as early as the ground can be worked. Plant in rows 3 feet apart, spacing seeds 1 inch apart. Cover with 1/2 inch of fine soil, well pressed down. Keep soil moist until seedlings emerge.

THINNING:
When plants are 2 to 3 inches tall, thin or transplant 2 feet apart in the row.

GERMINATION:
Germinates in 7 to 14 days depending on soil and temperature conditions.

REMARKS:
May be planted in mid-summer for a late fall crop. Flavor improves after frost. This variety will succeed where heading cabbages fail.
