\\7' * M Q '^ •■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 v\-ere badly infected or entirely 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. Althotigh showing considerable variation in type the plants 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. 10c; Oz. $2.70; 2 Oz. $4.30; V4 Lb. $7.75; Lb. $30.00
