Danish Ball Head. (See cut.) This extra 

 hard-heading Cabbage is also known as "Hol- 

 lander." It is a medium or late variety, but 

 is mostly used as a winter Cabbage. Medium 

 size, round head and a fine keeper. The 

 strong growth of this variety enables it to 

 withstand dry weather well, and its remark- 

 ably good keeping quality makes it an ex- 

 tremely valuable Cabbage for storing away for 

 winter use. Pkt.,10cts.; oz.,40cts.; } lb.,

Danish Roundhead. Matures earlier than 

 the Danish Ball Head. The heads are round, 

 have a short stalk, and are very hard. The 

 interior leaves are pure white and of sweet 

 flavor. It is a healthy variety and able to 

 stand hot weather and resist disease. The 

 heads, although making quicker growth, are 

 fully as large as " Ball Head " and equally as 

 good in every way, keeping well during the 

 winter, and of excellent quality. It is well 

 adapted for growing in the garden and pro- 

 duces Cabbage for both fall and winter use. 

 The seed we furnish was grown in Denmark.
