CABBAGE- 



Continued 



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 vrhite 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.

 pended upon to produce a fine large head.
