DANISH CABBAGE SEED 



The Danes grow certain varieties of Cabbage far better than we 

 can. I personally inspected their crops and studied their varieties, 

 and unhesitatingly recommend the varieties listed on this page. 



COPENHAGEN MARKET, New Early •Mg^rjTf^vwp . xvl 



Danish Cabbage. As early as Charles- ^^in<^VC.L-I T | 



ton Wakefield. This is a dandy Cabbage. It is the best new 

 Cabbage I have seen in many years, and market-gardeners and 

 many retail customers tell me it can't be beaten. The heads are 

 very large, weighing 14 to 16 pounds each, with a fine globe shape 

 and well-developed outside leaves. I have seen this growing in 

 Denmark and I have seen acres of it growing here, and never have 

 seen a field of more uniform quality. Almost every plant develops 

 a fine, large head and the heads are as uniform as can be. They keep 

 well and have fine quality, making them most desirable for both 

 home- and market-gardens. It matures much earlier than any 

 other Danish Cabbage, and I think this is a fine second-early 

 variety, coming in about two weeks later than the Early Jersey 

 Wakefield. A really early Danish Cabbage is something that 

 every seedsman and gardener has been looking for for years, and 

 this is it. Pkt. 10 cts., J^oz. 35 cts., oz. 60 cts., }4^h. Si. 75, lb. $6. 



Professor Meyers, of the Pennsylvania State College, states that 

 from plants set out in the field May 11, 5.3 tons of Copenhagen 



Copenhagen Maxket Cabbage 



Market Cabbage per acre were cut on June 22, as compared with only 2 tons of Early Jersey Wakefield, 

 set out and cut at the same time and under exactly the same conditions. This says more than I can 

 regarding the productiveness of Copenhagen Market. In its "Gardener's Club" department, Nov. 9, 

 1912, the Market Grower's Journal pubUshed these reports: 



Copenhagen Market Cabbage did exceedingly well; was earlier than Wakefield and very free from pests. — William C. 

 Aiken, Washington. 



Copenhagen Market has larger, rounder heads than the first Jerseys, and is a week earlier than Glory. — L. B. Pickett, 

 Kansas. 



Copenhagen Cabbage is fine, and I shall grow a lot another season. The heads did not burst, as Danish Ballhead does with 

 me. — L. F. Marshall, Pennsylvania. 

 DANISH BALLHEAD, The Great Car-lot Cabbage. The big growers who sell Cabbage by the ton 

 grow Danish Ballhead because it is a sure header of great solidity and weight, keeps splendidly and 

 sells well on any market. The heads are round, hard and heavy, though not extra large, so they can be 

 grown in close quarters. Danish Ballhead may be stored in pits until spring with little or no waste. 

 My seed is grown especially for me in Denmark. Pkt. 10 cts., oz. 25 cts., }^lb. 75 cts., lb. I2.S0, postpaid; by 

 express, 5 lbs. $2.25 per lb. 



DANISH ROUNDHEAD. The picture on the left shows the shape of the Cabbage. Earlier and shorter-stemmed 

 than Danish Ballhead. Very round, solid, heavy heads on short, thick stems; larger and heavier than Ball- 

 head. Pkt. 10 cts., oz. 30 cts., Mlb- 75 cts., lb. S2.75. 

 FLAT SWEDISH. Late, with very hard, large, flat heads and bluish green leaves; short stems; good winter keeper. 



Pkt. 10 cts., oz. 25 cts., i-^lb. 75 cts., lb. I2.50. 

 GLORY OF ENKHTJIZEN. Originated in Holland. Produces heavy 

 crops; early, large, round, solid, fine-ribbed; tender. Heads ball- 

 shaped, few outside leaves. Pkt. loc, oz. 30c., Jalb. 75c., lb. S2.75. 

 PE TSAI, or CHINESE CUT. Try this ^9^riJr\\/ct TYI 

 novel salad. It resembles Cos lettuce ^^^"^ ^ V L L- I T | 

 in appearance and makes very delicate greens for the table, with 

 a Cabbage taste. Plant like lettuce. It never fails to thrive and 

 I am sure you will like it. Pkt. 10 cts., }4oz. 20 cts., 

 oz. 35 cts., Mlb. $1. lb. S3. 



The Cut Cabbage is a prize worth having. — Eli Rothermel, 

 North East, Md. 



We like the Chinese Cut Cabbage very much. — Etta Brown , 

 Blowing Rock, N. C. 



STOKES' WORM-PROOF fc l I 

 HARDIANA, Origina- ^ ^NQVLLI Y| 



tor's Stock. My firm was the first to offer this Cab- 

 bage to the public. It is dark green, with a slight 

 reddish tinge on the ends of the leaves. The heads are hard, solid and very large, often 

 weighing from 18 to 25 pounds each. A natural glaze on the surface of the leaves prevents 

 almost all damage by worms. My grower, the originator, grew Worm-Proof Hardiana 

 alongside of the Late Flat Dutch, planting them the same day. The worms almost ruined 

 the Flat Dutch but hardly touched the Hardiana. Pkt. 10 cts., oz. 35c., >4lb. Si, lb. S3.50.
