CABBAGE— LATE OR AUTUMN AND WINTER SORTS 



w-i » D • I j. CI r\ j. U This strain is the result of much care on our part to develop and maintain the 



Terry S rremium Lateriat UUtCn good qualities which have made this sort so popular. The plants are very 

 hardy, comparatively slow growing but very sure heading; stem rather short. The 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.

 iir. ' M Q A "yellows" resistant strain of cabbage developed out of our stock of Hollander under the direction 



Wisconsin INO. O 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 entirely 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 

 otdy 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. 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. 50c; 2 Oz. 85c; Vi Lb. $1.40; Lb. $5.00 



Ferry's Hollander sure head- 

 ing, very solid, of good quality and as 

 one of the very best keepers this is 

 particularly desirable for distant 

 markets or for late spring use. The 

 plants are vigorous and compact, 

 with short stems. They are exceed- 

 ingly 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 heads are 

 medium sized, round, exceptionally 

 solid and stand shipment better than 

 any other late sort. We offer seed of 

 our own growing which, judging from 

 our trials, will produce more uni- 

 formly typical heads than can be 

 grown from stock obtainable 

 elsewhere. Pkt. 10c; Oz. $1.00; 2 Oz.

Danish Ball HeadgpSESS 



and character this strain is similar to 

 Ferry's Hollander. It produces round 

 or slightly flattened, solid heads of fine 

 keeping quality. The plants are short 

 stemmed, compact, fairly erect and 

 have few outer leaves. Although not 

 as uniformly even or quite as hard 

 heading as Ferry's Hollander, this 

 stock will usually give excellent satis- 

 faction to market growers or home 

 gardeners where long keeping quality 

 is not the prime consideration, pkt
