or early winter cabbage where quality is desired. Pkt. 5c; Oz. 30c; 2 Oz. 55c; ^4 Lb. 90c; Lb. $3.00 



«r I A main crop sort, very desirable where large, viuiformly round heads with short stem and plants of compact growth 



Volga are wanted. This sort matures very early for a variety furnishing such large heads of excellent shape. The outer 



leaves are thick, long oval and rather smooth. The variety is hardy, usually very solid and a good keeper. Pkt. 5c;

and slightly blistered. The heads are uniformly large, often very large, flat but deep, distinctly flattened on the top, solid and

--,, * M Q A "yellows" resistant strain of cabbage developed out of our stock of Hollander under the direction of 



Wisconsin iNO. O Dr.'L. R. Jones of the University of Wisconsin. At Racine. Wisconsin, where for several years many 

 of the commercial crops of cabbage were badly infected or entii-ely destroyed by the disease calleil the yellows this strain has 

 proven to be practically immune from attack. The disease resistant properties of this variety, however, apply only to 

 that known as the "yellows" and no claim is made that it is less susceptible to other forms of disease such as Black Rot, Black 

 Leg or Club Root than other sorts. Although showing considerable variation in type the phints resemble Hollander but are 

 larger and more leafy and spreading. The heads are round or somewhat flattened and retain to a remarkable degree the 

 solidity and excellent keeping qualities of the Hollander. For localities where Cabbage plants are affected by the yellows 

 we earnestly recommend a planting of this new strain. Pkt. 5c; Oz. $1.70; 2 Oz. $2.90; 'A Lb. $5.25; Lb. $20.00 



-J II J 1^ 'UDIIU J Very hardy, sure heading, very solid, of good quality and as one of the very best 



rlollander or UaniSn Dall neau keepers this is particularly desirable for distant markets or for late spring use. 



The plants are vigorous and compact, with stem of medium length. They are exceedingly hardy in resisting cold and stand 



dry weather well. The leaves are 



distinctly upright in growth, few 



but rather large, long and narrow. 



thick, smooth, bluish green covered 



with whitish bloom. The heads are 



medium sized, round, exceptionally 



solid and stand shipment better 



than any other late sort. Our strain 



of Hollander is shorter stemmedan 1

from our trials, will produce more

or Pe-Tsai The leaves when young are crimped, of light green color and appear like smooth leaved mustard but with

Cos Lettuce. The inner leaves blanch an attractive light yellow or creamy white with very white midribs. It is of distinctive 



flavor, very mild and pleasant. It is served as a salad like lettuce or cooked like asparagus. 

 Sow in this latitude after July 1st at the same time as turnips. Early plantings of Pe-Tsai run quickly to seed in hot weather. 



Sow in drills fourteen to twenty inches apart and thin two or three times: or if grown for the market start in boxes and
