Short stemmed; 10 days earlier than Danish Ballhead (105 days) 
Very large, extremely solid, perfectly round heads having the ~ 
same remarkable qualities as Danish Ballhead, from which it was ~ 
B) 
taken. The heads, however, are slightly larger, shorter stemmed, A 
and about 10 days earlier. Plants are dwarf and compact with 
few outer leaves. This permits close planting, and, therefore, oie 
grown commercially, a larger yield may be expected than from | 
any of the other Danish cabbages. On high, dry land where other ~ 
cabbages are inclined to remain small, Danish Roundhead has 
produced wonderful results. Keeps perfectly in storage. 
variety is the most popular late cabbage.

122 Penn State Ballhead 
(110 days) This special selection from Danish Ballhead was made at Pennsyl- 
vania State College. It demonstrates what patience and hard work can do to 
improve a standard line. Penn State has hard, tight heads weighing at least a 
third more than Danish Ballhead heads of equal measurements. The crop 
matures 5 days to a week earlier. It yields exceptionally well, having many 
per-acre tonnage records to its credit; and in addition to these merits, it isa 
faultless winter keeper. Adapted to all regions where late cabbage is grown.

Drumhead Savoy 

j 
141 Drumhead Savoy 
Crumpled leaf cabbage ($0 days) 
Of a milder, more pleasing flavor than the regular cabbages. There is a cer- 
tain delicacy about this variety that appeals greatly to people who dislike either 
the strong flavor or odor of other kinds. The heads are large, heavy, compact, 
round, and somewhat flattened; the average weight is 5 lbs., although they often 
grow much larger. Leaves are attractively wrinkled and crumpled, even into the 
center of the head. It is a splendid winter keeper. The Drumhead is the best of 
the savoy cabbages, and our strain is carefully selected for uniformity and mild- 
ness of flavor. Pkt. 10¢; 14 oz. 25¢3 oz. 45¢; 14 Ib. $1.35. 
134 Maule’s Prize Flat Dutch 
Heads large, round, flattened, and very firm (100 days) 
- 
An old reliable variety. Heads are very large, heavy, solid, flat — 
on the top but deep. Leaves are a bright bluish green. Our strain 
is low growing, with a short stem and vigorous plant growth, © 
reaching almost 3 ft. in diameter under average conditions. Heads | 
become firm and solid while still rather small so that you can 
start to use them in late summer and continue to cut until late — 
fall. Grown principally in the northern states, where it is used 
asa main late crop. In addition to being a home garden favorite, — i 
the variety is frequently used for market, shipping, and quite 
often also for sauerkraut. Heads attain 10 to 12 Ibs. in weight. 
One of the best winter keepers. Pkt. 10¢; 1202. 25¢; oz. 45¢; 4b. $1.35.

Largest heading red cabbage; good keeper (100 days) at 
Heads are perfectly round, very solid and heavy. They often weigh as much 
as 8 lbs. each. The deep purplish red color continues in undiminished intensity — 
to the very center of the head. When sliced the cabbage presents a most attrac-_ 5 
tive red and white color pattern. The outer leaves of the plants are dark green 
with red veins. This variety keeps well in storage and is often used for pickling.
