CABBAGE-—~ATE OR AUTUMN AND WINTER SORTS 
Ferry’s Premium Late 
This strain is the re- 
Flat Dutch sult of much care on 
our part to develop and maintain the 
good qualities which have made this 
sort so popular. The plants are very 
hardy, comparatively slow growing 
but very sure heading; stem rather 
short. ‘'he plants are exceptionally 
vigorous, with very large, broad, 
spreading outer leaves which are 
moderately smooth or very slightly 
waved and slightly blistered. The 
heads are uniformly large, often 
very large, flat but deep, distinctly 
flattened on the top, solid and of 
excellent quality. This is considered 
by many as the standard, very 
large late cabbage for home garden 
and market. It is an excellent 
keeper. Pkt. 10c; Oz. 25c; 2 Oz.

° 5 A “‘yellows”’ 
Wisconsin No. 8 re Si stant 
strain of cabbage developed out of 
our stock of Hollander under the 
direction of 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 en- 
tirely destroyed by the disease called 
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 Our Own Strain Cuoice ImporTED STRAIN 
claim is made that it is less suscep- Types or Hotranper or Danis Batt Heap CapBace 
tible to other forms of disease such 
as Black Rot, Black Leg or Club pie is eseiate 
Root than other sorts. Although 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. 85c; 2 Oz. $1.35; 4 Lb. $2.25; Lb. $8.00 
° Very hardy, sure heading, very solid, of good quality and as one of the very best 
Hollander or Danish Ball Head keepers this is particularly desirable for distant markets or for late aoe 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 headsare medium sized, round, exceptionally solid and stand shipment better 
than any other late sort. Our strain of Hollander is shorter stemmed and produces heads generally larger than other stocks. 
We offer seed of our own growing which, judging from our trials, will produce more uniformly typical heads than can be 
grown from stock obtainable elsewhere. (For further description, see page 6)

° « The strain we offer 
Chinese Improved or Pe-Tsai resembles when well 
grown Cos Lettuce rather than Cabbage. It isoften called Celery 
Cabbage on the market. 
The leaves when young are crimped, of light green color and 
appear like smooth leaved mustard but with much broader and 
heavier midribs. The plant as it matures becomes more upright 
and forms heads much like Cos Lettuce. The inner leaves blanch 
an attractive light yellow or creamy white with very white mid- 
ribs. 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; orif grown for the market start in boxes and trans- 
plant like late cabbage. Pkt.10c; Oz.30c; 20Oz.55c; % Lb.
