No. 120. Succession. Days to IMaturity, 110. 

 Introduced by Henderson in 1888. A variety remarkable 

 for its resistance to hot sun and diy weather. The fact that 

 it remains two or three weeks without breaking, sdso recommends it 

 as an important varietj'. It may be sown either as a late cabbage 

 or for fall use. The heads are roimd but ehghtly flat- 

 tened. Pkt. 5^, oz. 40^, K lb. S1.25, lb. .S4.50, 51bs. S21.25 

 postpaid; by express, 5 lbs. or more S4.15 per lb. 



No. 127. Danish Ballhead or Hollander. Days 

 TO Matuhity, 120. A variety of Danish origin listed by 

 Johnson & Stokes ia 1889 as Danish Ballhead. The fact 

 that in 1897 a cabbage known as Hollander or German 

 Export was offered by Johnson & Stokes, seems to prove 

 that this was a variety \videly knowTi and cultivated over 

 Northern Europe. At the present time the names Danish 

 Ballhead and Hollander are sj-nonymous. This variety is 

 now considered the standard cabbage for storage purposes 

 and thousands of acres are gro^"n in our northern states. 

 The head is nearly round, solid, and of good quaUty. Its 

 adaptability to soil conditions has no doubt added to its 

 popularity. There are three different strains of Danish 

 Ballhead, Long Stem, Medium Stem and Short Stem, the 

 latter often being known as Danish Roundhead. In order 

 to simplify matters with our trade, we have held to the 

 original name of Danish Ballhead and used cabbage of 

 the mediimi stem type. Pkt. 10^, oz. 50i, M lb. SI. 50, lb.

Long Island prior to its introduction by Ferry in 1889. A red cabbage with 

 a very solid head of good quality and size. It is a variety very often used for

No. 140. Red Danish Stonehead. Days to Maturity, 120. A Danish 

 cabbage verj^ similar to Danish Ballhead except for its red color. The Red 

 Dutch as listed by Landreth in 1826, is not thought to have been the same 

 cabbage. Johnson & Stokes have the credit for having been the first to intro- 

 duce Red Danish Stonehead in this country. This was about 1900. This 

 cabbage is almost identical in every respect with Danish BaUhead except in 

 its color. The head is very solid and the rich red color extends farther into 

 the center of the head. True seed of this variety is difficult to obtain and in 

 price outclasses all others. However, the quality of the cabbage far more than 

 evens up the difference in price. Pkt. 10^, oz. 50ff, M lb. SI. 75, lb. $6.50, 5 

 lbs. $31.75 postpaid; by express, 5 lbs. or more, $6.25 per lb.
