PENN STATE BALLHEAD 



Days to maturity, 130-140. Penn State Ballhead as. developed by Dr. C. E. Myers, of 

 Pennsylvania State College, is one of the very best strains of the Ballhead or Hollander 

 type. The average yield of late Cabbaige in New York State is about eight tons per acre- 

 and barely pays the cost of production. Penn State Ballhead shows records of over twenty 

 tons per acre over a long period of years. It is this extra tonnage after production costs 

 have been paid that brings the profit. The primary reason for the increased yield in the 

 Penn State strain lies in the successful selection for hard, tight heads, weighing at least 

 one-third more than ordinary Danish heads of equal size. The photograph on this page 

 illustrates this quality. A special point of interest is the restricted seed stalk which apparently 

 is a factor in the elimination of pre- 

 mature cracking. We urge close plant- 

 ing of Penn State Ballhead which will 

 keep the head at the desirable markej; 

 size and at the same time increase the 

 tonnage. Count on 7500 plants per 

 acre. We do not recommend the pro- 

 duction of Penn State Ballhead south of 

 the late Cabbage area in the northern 

 tier states.

Drumhead Savoy 



DRUMHEAD SAVOY 



Days to maturity, 120-130. An 

 extremely old type, probably originating 

 in England. Savoy Cabbage was ofTered 

 by Robert Sinclair, Jr., & Co., Baltimore, 

 in 1839. The stock we offer will prove 

 to be the true Savoy. The color is 

 divided between green and blue-green. 

 The leaf growth is large and upright. The 

 heads will average 10 inches in diameter. 

 This will be found a satisfactory stock 

 for all general purposes. 



MAMMOTH RED ROCK 



Days to maturity, 120-130. We look on this as a very fine strain of the well-known Red 

 Cabbage for which there is always a strong if limited market. It is a favorite variety for 

 cole slaw and pickling purposes. This is the largest and surest heading Red Cabbage. The 

 plants are vigorous in growth with a medium length stem and spreading outer leaves which 

 are dark green with red veining. Mammoth Red Rock is in the late maturing class, making 

 a round and very solid head. Most cabbage growers want at least a part of their acreage 

 in a red variety. This one will give very general satisfaction under almost all conditions.
