During the fall, winter and
spring, G. C. Cooper teaches
school at Lake Junaluska. but
during the summer he spends
much of his time gardening and
growing cabbage is a hobby.
His hobby apparently is fast
growing into a business, because
yesterday Mr. Cooper brought to
The Mountaineer a cabbage
which weighed 15 pounds and 4
ounces. It was Just as firm as a
mother-in-law.
Mr. Cooper set out 50 plants
in May and just did average cul
tivation, and has a number of
cabbages which will weigh 10
to 12 pounds each. The cabbage
is the Flat Dutch variety.
The cabbage was grown in the
garden owned by Roy H. Pat

Much Interest is being shown
in the over-sized cabbage which
is on display at The Mountaineer
today. The average Flat Dutch
weigh five to six pounds.
