Golden Acre Special Cabbage 
Try These Yellows-Resistant Cabbage Strains 
This seed, saved from Cabbage plants which have fully sur¬ 
vived on badly “yellows” infested fields, will produce good 
Cabbage crops, even on land which is “Cabbage sick.” 
All Seasons, Yellows-Resistant. The hardiest, flat-head, 
second-early, withstanding drought and heat well. 
Copenhagen Market, Yellows-Resistant. Later than regular 
Copenhagen, but the almost-round heads ship well. 
Glory of Enkhuizen, Yellows-Resistant. Fine midseason; 
very uniform, round heads with unusually short core. 
Marion Market (Iacope). Heavy yielder of round, hard heads 
like Copenhagen, but plant is larger. 
Wisconsin Hollander No. 8. These hard, round “Ballheads,” 
slightly flattened, are unexcelled for storing; heavy yielder. 
The Best Extra-Early Cabbages 
COPENHAGEN MARKET. The round, solid heads weigh 
- .. — o to 1U pounds each, are or line 
quality and very uniform. The light green leaves fold tightly and 
compactly over one another. Plants are short-stemmed, with 
heads just above the ground. Almost as early as Early Jersey 
Wakefield. Can be planted as close as Charleston Wakefield. The 
inside of the head is fine-grained, tender, pure white and very 
compact. This variety is now grown very extensively. 
SELECTED EARLY JERSEY WAKEFIELD. Our strain of this 
excellent extra-early, pointed-head sort is without a parallel. The 
heads are small as compared with the later Charleston Wakefield, 
but are solid and extremely uniform in both green color and size. 
CHARLESTON WAKEFIELD. An early pointed-head sort of 
standard reputation. The heads are large, and remarkably uni¬ 
form in size and shape. Ten days later than the Early Jersey 
Wakefield, but is of larger size and consequently larger crop. An 
excellent shipper and grown largely in the South. 
GOLDEN ACRE SPECIAL. A f. early variety 
.-- which closely re¬ 
sembles Copenhagen Market in type. As its name 
implies, it is a money-maker. It is 8 to 10 days earlier 
than Copenhagen Market but is smaller and can be 
planted closer. Our strain heads uniformly. 
SUPER-STRAIN GOLDEN ACRE. Through recent 
years, this popular extra-early has been produced 
from many different and some cheap sources—Hol¬ 
land, Germany, Puget Sound, and others. Because 
there are today many differing standards and com¬ 
peting prices, some gardeners have complained 
generally that the variety is running out. We have 
every confidence in our Golden Acre as offered above. 
We, however, offer this Super-Strain Golden Acre 
grown in Denmark of last year’s crop by the originator 
of the variety. We urge those who have been disap¬ 
pointed through planting inferior strains to try this. 
The Best Second-Early Cabbage 
GLORY OF ENKHUIZEN. This second-early short-stemmed 
-■ variety is very sure heading and 
of excellent quality. The plants are of vigorous growth with large 
rather spreading outer leaves, which are noticeably curved and 
frilled. The dark green heads are globular in shape, very hard and 
solid, and grow to a large size for so early a variety. The outer 
leaves, though large and spreading, are few in number, thus per¬ 
mitting of close planting. Our strain is very highly selected. 
Glory of Enkhuizen Cabbage 
The Best Savoy Cabbage 
PERFECTION DRUMHEAD. This is the hard- 
- est-heading, best 
Savoy Cabbage. The plants are of strong growth, 
having only a few outer leaves growing closely about 
the large, solid, round, dark green heads. The 
leaves are heavily crimped or savoyed, the flavor is 
deliciously mild and smooth. The heads produced by 
our strain are unusually uniform in size.
