This variety has become a popular market cab- 

 bage. It is about a week later than Wake- 

 field, the heads are nearly one-third larger and 

 very solid. It is very compact in growth and 

 so can be planted more close than moet varie- " 

 ties. One great advantage with this sort is that 

 it does not burst open when ripe. This sort is 

 grown largely in the south and around large cit- 

 ies for shipping long distances on account of its 

 good keeping qualities, and is one of the best 

 large early sorts on the market. Per pkt. 5 cts., 

 oz. 25 cts., Vi lb. 75 cts., lb. $2.00. 



Voiir seeds are all right and give the best 

 of satisfaction %mder all conditions of 

 weather, climate and soil. f. D. K. Mar-

Charleston, or Large Wakefield Cabbage 



Improved Danish Ballhead Cabbage 



Improved Danish Ballhead Cabbage 



This variety is also sold under the name of the 

 Hollander, German Export and Dutch Winter. The 

 fame of this sort has become world wide, and today 

 stands without a peer, as the hardest heading cab- 

 bage; longest keeping qualities, and great weight 

 for its size. This variety has been selected and 

 perfected for more than fifty years by the Danish 

 gardeners. 



In Denmark and Holland it is grown almost ex- 

 clusively for winter cabbage, and they annually ex- 

 port large quantities to other countries. It will 

 stand long journeys and keep far into the ppring, 

 the heads are of medium size, are very solid 

 and deep, and of a fine white color, making them 

 entirely different from any other strain, and they 

 keep better than any other sort, the heads^ being 

 just as solid and perfect when taken up in the 

 spring as when they were put away in the fall. 



Quality fine, being tender and crisp, with but lit- 

 tle waste heart. This will do best if planted a week 

 or ten days earlier than our common drumhead sorts, 

 and on deep, heavy loam, and liberally manured 

 land. ^ 

 Per pkt. 5 nti., oz. 20 cts., % lb. 60 cts., lb. $1.76.

 in purity and color. In vigor of growth, ease of blanching, size, richness of 

 flavor, crispness and purity, it is ideal. It does well where others have 

 failed, and grows solid on all kinds of soil. It keeps better than a great many 

 of the best standard varieties. Single stalks sometimes weigh 2^ pounds, 

 and quite frequently you will find them to average 2 pounds. Price per 

 pkt. 5 cts., oz. 25 cts., % lb. 75 cts., lb. $2.50.
