Drumhead Savoy (Stokes) 



Outstanding feature : Large, well- savoy ed head 



SPECIFICATIONS: 

 Type purity 90% Disinfectant: Dipclust (Bayer)

We this year return to the original type of 

 Savoy cabbage, dropping at least temporarily, 

 our Pocono Mountain type which was slightly 

 earlier and smaller. Our present stock of 

 Drumhead Savoy is quite uniform. The color 

 is equally 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.

Penn State Ballhead (Stokes), 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 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 75C0 plants per acre. We do not recommend the production of Penn State Ballhead south 

 of the late cabbage area in the northern tier states. Because of its extremely tight head it is entirely unsuited for production in Florida 

 or Texas. Price, delivered: Packet 25c, oz. 70c, Vi lb. $2.30, lb. $8.00, 10 lbs. @ $7.75 per lb., 50 lbs. @ $7.50 per lb.
