NEW CABBAGE DELUX 
THE MOST PROFITABLE LATE VARIETY 
YELLOW RESISTANT 
The finest, most reliable, sure heading, longest keeping 
and best paying late variety. A few days earlier than Danish 
Ballhead, oblong in shape, very hard, very white inside, 
medium in size. One of our friends, a most successful gar¬ 
dener, says this about Delux: I had 10 thousand plants set 
early, and was cutting early and again late. My cabbage 
was fetching at first $2.50 per bushel and the lowest I ever 
got for it was $1.00 per bushel. We had a dry spell and it 
looked as though part of my cabbage will be a failure. 
Early in the fall I started for the field with a plow. But 
I did not plow my cabbage under. My Delux was all headed 
out and finer cabbage I have never seen. Out of the 10 thou¬ 
sand plants only six did not make a head. My grocer’s cus¬ 
tomers actually begged for more Delux and I could have sold 
more had there been more. By planting early, you will have 
fine cabbage to sell early and again late, and early planting 
will give your cabbage a good start so that worms and hugs 
cannot hurt it. Delux is a first rate keeper, wilt resistant 
and can be planted close. Pkt. 10c; oz. 40c; *4 lb. $1.00; 
lb. $4.00. 
CABBAGE WISCONSIN NO. 8 
A late variety, long keeping, a selection from the Hol¬ 
lander or Dutch Winter variety, bred for resistance to cab¬ 
bage yellows. Should be planted where the cabbage crop is 
likely to suffer from yellows. Our strain is grown on soil 
infested with yellows by a specialist and can be depended on 
to produce a good crop on ground where other cabbages 
would fail. It is 100% immune from disease. A splendid 
keeper, properly stored, will keep in prime condition till 
spring. Pkt. 10c; oz. 40c; 1 lbs. $3.00. 
RED CABBAGE MODEL 
A PERFECT LATE VARIETY 
New and distinct. Deep red all through, large, compact, 
hard and extra heavy, shaped like a ball. Of right size, the 
heads averaging 8 to 10 lbs. It will keep in prime condi¬ 
tion till spring. It can be put on the market when there is 
no other red cabbage to be had. Most other varieties of red 
chbbage being early to mature must be put on the market 
during hot weather. They do not keep well. Model can be 
put on the market when the weather is cool and the demand 
is brisk and no good red cabbage to compete with. It can 
be sold throughout winter until spring. It fills a long felt 
want. Pkt. 10c; oz. 40c; lb. $4.00. 
Chinese Cabbage Chihli 
CHINESE CABBAGE CHIHLI 
The earliest and surest heading variety. Of upright 
growth, producing long, solid, white, cylindrical heads two 
feet in length. Much in demand and a profitable market 
variety. Pkt 10c; oz. 30c; % lb. $1.00; lb. $2.00. 
CABBAGE PENN STATE BALLHEAD 
Penn State Ballhead produces compact, slightly flattened 
ball-shaped heads, much heavier for their size than those of 
ordinary strains. In repeated tests over a period of years 
it produced a yield of over twenty tons per acre. 
It was tried by many growers located in different parts 
of the country. All are very enthusiastic, expressing their 
satisfaction in such terms as: Most wonderful cropper— 
splendid keeper—never before were we so well repaid—the 
crop and profit was quite beyond our expectation—etc. Penn 
State Ballhead can be planted quite close, is extremely slow 
to crack. Pkt. 10c; oz. 40c; lb. $3.60.
