STOKES VEGETABLE SPECIALS FOR 1932 



AUhead Early Cabbage 



Days to maturity, 110-120. Allhead Early is in 

 the ascendency as an important shipping Cabbage. 

 It will mature a week earlier than Stein's Flat 

 Dutch and develops a more acceptable-sized head. 

 The top is not flat but rounded, which is also a 

 favorable factor. 



Allhead Early is increasing in popularity, es- 

 pecially in Texas, where it is showing high resis- 

 tance to disease, a factor which is not entirely con- 

 trolled by seed-disinfection. Another reason for 

 the popularity of Allhead Early in the Rio Grande 

 Valley is its ability to stand up well in the early 

 plantings under the intense August and September 

 heat. The heads are very solid, uniform and 

 average 4 to 5 pounds. Our stock is very superior. 



Price: Pkt. 10 cts.; oz. 25 cts.; y4lb. 75 cts.; 

 lb. $2.50; 5 lbs., $2.25 per lb.

Glory of Enkhuizen 



Days to maturity, 110-120. Glory of Enkhuizen is a 

 high-yielding, round-headed, shipping variety of im- 

 portance. It is a larger and later edition of Copenhagen 

 Market and is recommended for main-season planting. 

 Within the last two seasons, growers have experienced 

 some difficulty with it under black-rot conditions. This 



Price: Pkt. 10 cts.; oz. 25 cts.; l^lb. 75 cts.; lb. $2.50; 5 lbs., $2.25 per lb. 



is especially true in Texas where it seemed much more 

 susceptible to disease than certain American varieties. 

 Nevertheless, Glory has much in its favor, and we are of 

 the opinion that it should not, by any means, be discarded. 

 It develops the type Cabbage the market wants. Our 

 strain is recommended. 



Penn State Ballhead 



Days to maturity, 130-140. Penn State is one of the 

 heaviest producing strains of Danish Ballhead Cabbage. 

 The average yield of Ballhead type in New York state is 

 approximately 8 tons per acre, which barely pays cost of 

 production in normal markets and which cannot possil^Iy 

 pay during depressed markets. Under 

 present conditions, the one way out for 

 the Cabbage-grower is to in- 

 crease the yield per acre. Penn 

 State will go a long way 

 toward doing this, for it 



has consistently made ,, ' ■ 



yields of over 20 tons i)c-r 



acre over a period of years. 



It is this extra tonniigc 



after production costs 



have been met that brings 



the profit. The secret of • . 



the increased tonnage of Penn State lies in the selection 

 for hard, tight heads weighing approximately one-third 

 more than ordinary Danish of equal size. This factor also 

 brings with it better keeping quality and there is less loss 

 fr( )ni cracked heads. We recommend that Penn State be 

 set in rows 3 feet apart and 21 inches 

 apart in the row (7500 plants per 

 acre). Ordinarily this will bring 



Ka head weighing from 4 to 6 

 pounds, which is the de- 

 sired market-size for fall 

 Cabbage. For larger 

 * Iicads, set the plants 

 I.I rther apart. 



Price: Pkt. 15 cts.; oz. 

 50 cts.; y4lb. $1.75; lb. $6; 

 5 lbs., $5.75 per lb.
