*YELLOWS RESISTANT VARIETIES—tThe State of Wis- 
consin and several other State Departments of Agriculture 
have for a number of years been working on the best com- 
mercial cabbage varieties, adapting them to resist yellows 
or wilt. It is now possible with these resistant stocks to 
grow cabbage successfully even on diseased land, by sowing 
seed which is grown under special conditions to make it 
resistant. While the cost of this seed is somewhat higher 
than non-resistant seed, there is the added advantage of 
securing stock which has been reselected for conformity 
to true type and heading quality. Therefore these improved 
varieties are most desirable for both diseased and clean 
ground. See pages 10 and 11.
