SUPER-STANDARD STRAINS 



Pocono Mountain Savoy 



Days to maturity, 123. Pocono Mountain Savoy is a very superior strain of Savoy Cabbage developed 

 by a Pennsylvania market gardener. There seem to be very few pure stocks of Savoy, and we have gone to 

 great expense in the production of this strain, which we consider to be one of the most reliable stocks avail- 

 able at the present time. The color is a uniform blue-green, and the leaves are finely savoyed. Heads are 

 uniform in shape and much more solid and compact than most stocks of Savoy. The important factor of 

 winter-keeping is therefore assured. It has been proven, over and over again, that Pocono Mountain Savoy 

 can be stored late in the winter, a feature which is usuallv common to ordinary types. Price, delivered : Pkt. 

 25 cts.; oz. 75 cts.; y 4 lb. $2.75; lb. $10; 5 lbs. or over, $9.50 per lb. 



Penn State Ballhead 



Days to rnattirrty, 130. This highly bred strain, developed by Dr. C E. Myers, of Pennsylvania State 

 College, holds a great opportunity for all growers of late Cabbage. The average yield of the Ballhead type 

 in New "\ ork State is about eight tons per acre, which hardly pays cost of production, except on years of 

 unusually high markets. Penn State Ballhead shows records of over twenty tons per acre over a period of 

 years. It is this extra, tonnage after production costs have been paid, that brings the profit. _ The secret of 

 the increased tonnage of the Penn State strain lies in the selection for hard, tight heads which weigh one- 

 third more than ordinary Danish heads of equal size. This feature also indicates better keeping quality, 

 for such solidity means that the heads do not have the same tendencj 7 to crack. Owing to the compact- 

 ness of the plant, we recommend that they be set in rows 3 feet apart and ^^f =^ 

 2 1 inches apart in the row (7,500 plants per acre) . Ordinarily, this will pro- 

 duce a head weighing from four to six pounds, which is the desired market h '^^%^^y\ 

 size for fall Cabbage. For larger heads, set the plants further apart. On {^a^'V/ 

 account of the extreme tightness of the head, we would urge our custom- I^flgr 

 ers not to attempt production of Penn State Ballhead outside of the xS^j^^ 

 Penn State Ball- Usua -I late-cabbage-growing area in the North. It is entirely unsuited for Ordinary Danish 

 head grows a production in Florida and states adjacent thereto. Price, delivered: Pkt. averages 30 per 

 hard, tight head, 25 cts.; oz. 75 cts.; y 4 lb. $2.75; lb. $10; 5 lbs. or more, $9.50 per lb. cent lighter.
