NO. 19— PENN STATE BALLHEAD 



Days to maturity, LTO-140. Penn State Ballheadas 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 Cabbage 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 premature 

 cracking. We urge close planting of Penn State Ballhead which will keep the head at 

 the desirable market size and at the same time increase the tonnage. Count on 7500 

 plants per acre. We do not recommend the production of Penn State Ballhead South 

 of the late Cabbage area in the northern tier states. Price, delivered: pkt., 25c; 

 oz., $1.00; Vi lb., $3.50; V2 lb., $6.00; lb., $10.00; 5 lbs., @ $S>.75 per lb.; 10 lbs., 

 @ $9.50 per lb.; 50 lbs., @ $9.00 per lb.
