Kraut (Ger.) 
One ounce of seed will produce 1500 to 2000 plants sown in open ground, or 3000 if sown in frames; 
a packet about 250 plants. It requires 0 to 6 ounces of seed to produce plants for an acre of ground.

Methods of Culture. To get very early cabbage in the Northern states 
the seed should be sown in hot-beds in February or March, or about six 
weeks before the ground outside is ready to receive the plants. For the 
home garden it is often more satisfactory to buy a few dozen plants for 
early cabbage. For medium early crop, the seed of early kinds like Copen¬ 
hagen Market or Golden Acre may be sown in the open ground as early as 
possible and the plants transplanted as soon as large enough. They will 
give cabbage ready for use in August if the land is rich and well cultivated. 
For the late crop the seed should be sown in the Northern states about May 
20, and the plants set out July 1. Seed of early varieties may be sown as 
late as June 10, and will mature a good crop. For late sowing Large Late 
Copenhagen and Enkhuizen Glory are good. 
Note: We cannot supply half ounces seed, the price of which is less than 30c per ounce. 
Early and Medium Early Varieties 
GOLDEN ACRE. The earliest Cabbage. See colored photo on page 11. Matures earlier than any other 
kind we have ever grown. In our trial grounds it headed a week earlier than Jersey Wakefield and two 
weeks earlier than Copenhagen Market, which it resembles in other respects. 
The heads are of medium size, 4 to 5 lbs., as round as a ball and very firm. The plant is of dwarf com¬ 
pact growth with but few leaves so the plants may be set close together. Practically every plant makes a 
perfect head and all the heads mature at very nearly the same time. 
Owing to its earliness, uniformity and fine quality and appearance, this cabbage has proved to be one 
of the most profitable market varieties for the early crop. 
This is the strain of Golden Acre which we have sold for years and is much superior in uniformity of 
type and earliness to many strains that are sold at a much higher price. 
Pkt. 10c; Oz. 45c; % Lb. $1.20; Lb. $3.90. 
GOLDEN ACRE Special. The earliest and most uniform in type of any strain we have ever seen. We 
particularly recommend it to growers who want the earliest and best. 
Pkt. 15c; Oz. 70c; */ 4 Lb. $2.10; Lb. $7.25. 
Early Jersey Wakefield. The standard early cabbage with pointed heads. The heads are of good size; 
and very compact. Our strain is very early and practically all the plants produce heads of the correct 
shape and they mature almost at the same time. 
Pkt. 10c; Oz. 25c; % Lb. 75c; Lb. $2.60. 
COPENHAGEN MARKET. This early round 
head cabbage is a little later than Golden Acre 
and has larger heads. It is as round as a ball, 
very compact and with few outside leaves. 
This cabbage heads very uniformly; practi¬ 
cally every plant making a good firm head. 
This is a profitable cabbage to grow for market 
and an excellent early variety for the home 
garden. 
This variety is largely grown for kraut and 
is excellent for this purpose. The heads are of 
fine quality, tender and without coarseness. 
We can now offer a very fine strain that makes 
uniform hard heads, which are larger than most 
other strains of this variety. 
Pkt. 10c; oz. 30c; % lb. 90c; lb. $3.15. 
MARION MARKET. Yellows Resistant 
Copenhagen Type. This is the best of the 
early round head resistant varieties. The 
heads resemble Copenhagen Market in shape 
and mature about the same time. 
This strain will grow and mature good 
early round heads on land so diseased with 
“yellows” that other cabbage fails entirely. 
Pkt. 12c; oz. 55c; */ 4 lb. $1.55; lb. $5.25. 
SLEAFORD MARKET 
This cabbage is of much superior quali¬ 
ty to ordinary cabbage. It is as delicate in 
flavor as Brussel Sprouts and if you never 
have eaten cabbage of this type you have 
a treat in store for you. The heads mature 
early, are of medium size, pointed and do 
not get very hard. On account of i ts superb 
quality this cabbage should be in every 
home garden. 
Pkt. 12c; oz. 50c; */ 4 lb. $1.25. 
Enkhuizen Glory 
“Your Glory cabbage seed produced the heaviest two acre 
crop last year ever seen in this neighborhood .” 
Joseph M. Griffing, Hebron, Conn., April 5, 1933 
MIDSEASON MARKET. This variety is one of 
the heaviest yielding kinds with which we are 
acquainted. It is a midseason variety, matur¬ 
ing but a little later than Enkhuizen Glory and 
about the same time as All Head Early. The 
heads are round, deep, very firm and of good 
size, averaging 8 to 10 lbs. when well grown. 
They are remarkably uniform in shape and 
even in size. The plants are of vigorous growth 
with short stems and round leaves of rather 
light green color. The seed we offer is very fine, 
practically every plant makes a good solid 
head. 
We highly recommend this fine cabbage for 
market, kraut and home use. 
Pkt. 10c; oz. 30c; % lb. 85c; lb. $2.85. 
LARGE LATE COPENHAGEN. (New). This 
new strain which we introduced last year is 
proving to be one of the best kinds grown for 
late fall market and kraut. See full descrip¬ 
tion and illustration on page 10. 
Pkt. 10c; oz. 35c; % lb. $1.10; lb. $3.60. 
ENKHUIZEN GLORY. Originator’s Strain. 
This cabbage is one of the best varieties for 
medium early or main crop. The heads are as 
large as the late kinds, weighing 8 to 10 pounds, 
and mature earlier, being only a week later 
than Copenhagen Market. The seed we offer 
is of the true originator’s strain and will be 
found very superior in every way. Enkhuizen 
Glory has proved a most profitable variety 
both for market and kraut. 
Pkt. 10c; oz. 25c; % lb. 70c; lb. $2.35. 
Burpee’s All Head Early. Medium early; large 
solid flat heads, and of compact growth. 
Pkt. 10c; oz. 25c; % lb. 75c; lb. $2.60. 
Midseason Market 
Tested Cabbage Seed 
Harris’ Cabbage seed is all carefully tested for germination 
before it is sent out and the per cent which grows marked on each 
package. This enables the grower to know how much seed to sow 
in order to have the plants neither too thick nor too thin. 
Cabbage Plants 
We can supply early transplanted cabbage plants ready April 15 
to May 15. These plants are carefully grown and well hardened. 
They will stand frost without injury. We can also supply strong 
field grown plants ready June 15 to July 15. See page 47 for prices
