 VARIETIES 



HENDERSON'S SUPERIOR STRAIN OF 



Danish Ballhead Short Stem 



When this type of Cabbage first appeared we foresaw its 

 popularity, and took pains to secure samples of the various 

 types. After exhaustive trials we decided to grow from one 

 strain only, and the success that has come to all who have 

 grown it, proves the wisdom of our selection. The plant is 

 strong, erect, stands well, and heads up evenly. The trimmed 

 head is almost round, and has more weight for its size than 

 any other sort. {See engravifig.) Price, oz. 40c., J^ lb. $1.00, 

 lb. S3.50, 10 lb. lots @ S3.25per lb.

Cultural Directions. 



Cool weather is required for best re- 

 sults, and where the summers are cool, 

 sow seed in early spring. In the latitude 

 of New York, sow seed about the middle 

 of July, earlier if further North and 

 later if further South. Sow in the open 

 ground as the plants are liable to a set- 

 back if transplanted. Sow in rows 

 eighteen inches apart, and cover seed 

 one-half inch deep. When the plants 

 are about three inches high thin out to 

 stand fifteen inches apart in the rows. 

 Cultivate same as Cabbage. It re- 

 quires about 100 days from seed sowing 

 to mature the plants.
