No. 14. Viking Golden Acre Cabbage 



The earliest round Cabbage. Five days ahead of standard Golden Acre 



Days to maturity, 85. Viking Golden Acre in 1934 will reach a full market maturity at least 5 days 

 ahead of standard Golden Acre strains. Furthermore, owing to the great care with which this strain has 

 been bred, between 90 and 95 per cent of the crop will all be harvested at the first cutting. This factor 

 of uniformity is noticeable in the leaf-growth as well as in the head-formation, the whole plant being very 

 even and restrained. In the famous Marietta (Ohio) trials, the stock which we now offer ranked first out 

 of sixteen stocks that were under test. These test-rows (each containing 56 heads) cut as follows: June 15, 

 13 heads; June 21, 30_ heads; June 28, 9 heads. Average weight per head was 1.66 pounds. Number of 



ofF-type heads, zero. Percentage of harvest 

 prior to June 22, 84.1 per cent. Such a rec- 

 ord is an enviable one and undoubtedly 

 points to the source of early money. We 

 advise planting this stock 12 

 inches apart in the row — 15-inch 

 space often produces too large a 

 head. Price, Postpaid: Pkt. 

 15cts.; oz. 60cts.; V 4 lb. $1.90; 

 lb. $7; 5 lbs. or over, $6.75 

 per lb. 



No. 15. Golden Acre 



Maturing midway between 

 our Viking strain and Copen- 

 hagen Market. 



Days to maturity, 90. This 

 standard strain will give a 

 remarkable performance. The 

 stock is produced for us by the 

 originator of Golden Acre, 

 Thomas Madsen. It is an 

 extra-early Copenhagen type 

 with small, round, solid head, 

 maturing at the same time 

 with Jersey Wakefield. From 

 80 to 85 per cent of the crop 

 will come off at the first pick- 

 ing. The weight of the head 

 will average 2)4, pounds if 

 planted 14 inches apart. Price, 

 Postpaid: Pkt. 10 cts.; oz. 30 

 cts.; V 4 lb. $1; lb. $3.50; 5 lbs. 

 or over, $3.25 per lb. 



Viking Golden Acre is one of our five most important varieties 



No. 16. Copenhagen Market 



A uniform, restrained stock. The most valuable Copenhagen Market we have ever offered 



Days to maturity, 95. A Cabbage of Danish origin, being a hybrid between Danish Summer Ballhead 

 and a north European variety (perhaps Deitmarscher). Introduced by Hjalmar Hartmann & Co. in 1909 

 and offered to the American trade by Burpee in 1912. This stock will produce heads averaging 3 3^ pounds 

 in weight. The growth is uniform and restrained. We look on this stock as being the finest Copenhagen 

 we have ever offered. Growers should keep in mind the fact that there is a variance of at least a month in the 

 time of maturing of various stocks of Copenhagen, so that stocks from unidentified sources are of small value. 

 Price, Postpaid: Pkt. 10 cts.; oz. 25 cts.; y 4 lb. 85 cts.; lb. $3; 5 lbs. or over, $2.75 per lb. 



No. 1 7. Glory of Enkhuizen 



Extra-heavy yield. Uniform shape. Blue-green color 



Days to maturity, 108. A Holland Cabbage introduced by Sluis & Groot in 1896 and brought to this 

 country shortly afterward. Growers requiring a large, round-headed Cabbage, maturing 10 days later than 

 Copenhagen Market and weighing fully 6 pounds, will be well pleased with this strain which has been grown 

 for us north of the parallel. Many strains of Glory are run out, leafy, and of little value. The restrained 

 uniformity of this stock assures high production. Its distinguishing blue-green color is indicative of type 

 purity. Price, Postpaid: Pkt. 10 cts.; oz. 25 cts.; y 4 lb. 75 cts.; lb. $2.50; 5 lbs. or over, $2.25 per lb. 



No. 18. Penn State Ballhead 



Plant for increased tonnage. For better storage 



Days to maturity, 130. This strain was originated by Prof. C. E. Myers, of Pennsylvania State College, 

 and possesses distinct characteristics. It has a shorter core than the original Danish Ballhead, and the 

 leaves that form the head are extra large, with slender midrib. The head is slightly more broad than high, 

 and the strain is a week later in reaching full maturity than Danish Ballhead, the average weight being 

 6 pounds per head and the size being 6 to 7 inches in diameter. Very desirable for winter storage and manu- 

 facture of kraut. Because of the increased solidity it will keep in storage for at least six months. Price, 

 Postpaid: Pkt. 10 cts.; oz. 25 cts.; y 4 lb. 75 cts.; lb. $2.50; 5 lb*, or over, $2.25 per lb.
