“YELLOWS RESISTANT VARIETIES 
The State of Wisconsin and several other State 
Departments of Agriculture have for a number of 
years been working on the best commercial cabbage 
varieties, adapting them to resist yellows or wilt. 
It ts now possible with these resistant stocks to 
grow cabbage successfully even on diseased land, 
by sowing seed which is grown under special con- 
ditions 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.
