Danish Bail-Head or Holland Short Stem. When this type of Cabbage first apj eared 

 we foresaw its popularity, and after exhsustive trials decided to grow from one strain

other sort . (See specialties Page 6)

 abundant heart, the inner leaves blanching to a rich creamy yellow color, which shows 

 up well m the bunch
