Early Varieties 



191 Charleston or Large Wakefield. This is a week later 

 than Early Jersey Wakefield and also grows to much larger 

 size. It is an excellent, early, large, conical-headed variety 

 of a most dependable character. Pkt. 10c; i oz. 25c; oz. 40c; 

 i lb. SI. 25. 



193 Copenhagen Market. This e.xcellent variety can be 

 depended upon for making large solid heads at an early season. 

 The heads are grown upon a remarkably short stem. They are 

 solid and large, weighing 7 to 10 pounds each, with light green 

 leaves and of good quality. It is the largest of the early round- 

 headed varieties, and its habit of growth allows its being planted 

 close together in the garden. Pkt. 10c; i 02. 25c; oz. 40c; 

 1 lb. SI. 25. 



204 Golden Acre 



This excellent variety is the earliest round-headed Cabbage. 

 It will mature at least 7 days ahead of the regular strains of 

 Jersey Wakefield, considered the standard Early of the country. 

 The heads of Golden Acre Cabbage are perfectly round, firm, 

 and of e.xceptionally fine texture, heavy mid-ribs being entirely 

 absent. They average in weight about 4 pounds and produce 

 very few outer leaves, permitting close planting in the row. 

 Pkt. 15c; J oz. 40c; oz. 75c; \ lb. $2.00. 



206 Jersey Wakefield, Selected Early. This special 

 strain of Jersey Wakefield is still the most popular early Cabbage 

 disregarding the general tendency toward the round-heading 

 sorts. It has been most carefully selected for extra-early 

 maturity and for solid, pointed heads of uniform size and shape. 

 Neither quality nor fine texture have been sacrificed for ap- 

 pearance. The small mid-ribs improve their attractiveness 

 and also add to the flavor when cooked or served as slaw. 

 Pkt. 10c; h oz. 20c; oz. 35c; I lb. Sl.OO. 



The Best Second Early Cabbage 



202 Glory of Enkhuizen. An excellent variety maturing 

 shortly after the early kinds have headed up and being ready 

 for use 10 days earlier than any of the late Cabbages. Has a 

 large, round, very solid head carried on a short stem. A heavy 

 cropper with very few outer leaves. Excellent for kitchen use 

 and highly valued for making sauerkraut. Pkt. 10c; \ oz. 2Sc; 

 oz. 40c; J lb. $1.25. 



Culture — Sow seed of the early varieties toward the end 

 of February. Transplant into flats 4 inches apart each way as 

 they become large enough to be handled. Harden gradually 

 and set into rows 21 feet apart with the plants about 2 feet apart 

 in the row. About April 1, a second sowing of the second-early 

 or main crop varieties is made outdoors to provide Cabbage 

 from the middle of July until late in the fall. For winter storing 

 sow about middle of April seeds of the late winter sorts. By 

 July 1, these plants should be ready to be set in rows 3 feet apart 

 with 2 feet between the plants. 



Late or Winter Cabbages 



195 Danish Ballhead. The leading late tall-stem variety 

 in many sections and a fine sauerkraut Cabbage. Heads 

 average 10 to 12 pounds each. They are round, fine keepers. 

 Its good quality makes it a most valuable Cabbage. Pkt. 10c; 

 \ oz. 25c; oz. 40c; i lb. $1.25. 



I'enn State Ballhead 



197 Penn State Ballhead. A very special stock of this 

 splendid, late, short-stemmed, round-headed Cabbage noted 

 for its exceptionally fine quality. It is a sure header and 

 produces a heavy crop due to the solidity of the heads. Its out- 

 standing qualities have created a heavy demand for it every- 

 where. Pkt. 15c; J oz. 35c; oz. 60c; i lb. $2.00. 



201 Dreer's Giant Globe. This new variety forms an 

 immense solid head, and under favorable conditions of soil 

 and sufficient moisture often reaches a weight of 30 pounds. 

 The interior is white and very solid. Much used for late 

 planting though also good as a second-early. Splendid for 

 sauerkraut on account of its large size and fine white 

 interior quality. Pkt. ISc; J oz. 35c; oz. 60c; J lb. S2.00.
