Copenhagen Market 



VIKING STRAIN 



Days to maturity, 90. We consider this the most valuable new introduction in our entire list for 1927. 

 It must not in any way be confused with the usual types of Copenhagen Market which have been offered 

 for the past six years. Because of our desire to keep the issue clear and not add to the confusion of varietal 

 names, we are offering this as a special strain of the Copenhagen Market type. We offer the Viking Strain 

 as the most valuable type of Cabbage that has been put on the market for the past decade. 



Trials held at the Washington County (Ohio) Experiment Station this past season very clearly showed 

 why this stock holds a big opportunity for the early Cabbage-grower. In explanation, we point out that 

 on June 25 Viking Strain cut 271 pounds, whereas, a strain of commercial Copenhagen Market only cut 

 107 pounds. The market at that time was approximately $3.50 per crate, and a week later the market was 

 $1.50 per crate. This price condition is typical of the Cabbage market at least every other year. It will cost 

 you about $2.80 per acre more to plant Viking than the ordinary commercial strain of Copenhagen Market. 

 Figure for yourself whether the investment is likely to be a good one, remembering at the same time that 

 the Viking Strain is one of the purest types it has ever been our pleasure to offer. This seed comes direct 

 to us from Denmark, and, as is the case with all of our Cabbage seed, is disinfected with an organic mer- 

 cury. Price, delivered: Pkt. 50 cts.; oz. $1.50; y 4 lb. $5.50; lb. $20. 



Copenhagen Market 



GOLDEN ACRE STRAIN 



Days to maturity, 95. Last year we sold this Cabbage as a distinct variety. We are now convinced 

 that our position in the matter was incorrect. It is evident that it should be classed as a strain of Copenhagen 

 Market and we wish to correct our error. Golden Acre has been found profitable by a great many Cabbage- 

 growers. Our strain will produce a head about 3 pounds in weight. Its purity will compare well with any 

 good strain of Golden Acre. It is not the equal in this respect of our Viking Strain. The Golden Acre Strain 

 can be planted 12 to 14 inches apart in the row, as the leaf-growth is compact. The size of the head can 

 be increased by broader spacing and higher fertilization. For the present we have given up our larger 

 and later strain of Copenhagen Market. The cost of planting the Golden Acre Strain over the usual type 

 of Copenhagen Market is 94 cents per acre. We would point out that a great many of the commercial strains 

 of Copenhagen Market at present are large and late. Price, delivered : Pkt. 25c. ; oz. 75c. ; y 4 Ib. $2.75 ; lb. $10.
