CABBAGE 
DANISH BALLHEAD. 
PE-TSAI OR CHINESE CABBAGE was intro¬ 
duced into this country by the Chinese of the 
Pacific Coast. Pe-Tsai may be grown more 
closely in small gardens, its leaves are more 
tender, and its uses wider than most salad vege¬ 
tables. The Pe-Tsai belongs to the cabbage fami¬ 
ly, and produces quickly from seed sown in the 
open ground very attractive heads somewhat re¬ 
sembling a well-grown Cos Lettuce. The best 
results have been obtained from seed sown about 
August first, and it i'S optional with the planter 
as to whether plants should be started in the 
frames or the seed simply sown where plants 
are to remain, and the plants thinned out to 
DANISH BALLHEAD OR HOLLANDER. Because of Its “great 
solidity” of head and its unequaled keeping an dshipping qualities, 
Danish Ballhead has supplanted nearly all other varieties for 
winter use. Many trials have demonstrated the superiority of the 
Danish seed of this variety over that grown in other countries 
and localities. The Ballhead we offer is the tall-stemmed strain, 
to be distinguished from the short-stemmed “Hollander” or Dwarf 
Amager, the Danish grow nstrain of the Hollander. The heads 
are of an excellent market size—not too large. They are very 
hard, almost round, fine grained, and will weigh one-fourth more 
than other varieties of equal size. 
stand about fifteen inches apart in the row, as 
the heads develop rapidly and grow to a large 
size. 
RED CABBAGE 
DANISH RED STONEHEAD. A new, solid, fine 
ribbed, dark red cabbage, similar in shape to the 
red cabbages. Pkt., 5c; oz., 35c; % lb., $1.25. 
MAMMOTH ROCK RED. This is the standard 
red cabbage. Pkt., 5c; oz, 35c; *4 lb-. $1.25. 
SAVOY CABBAGE 
Wirsingkohl. Chou de Savoie. 
AMERICAN DRUMHEAD SAVOY. This is a 
fine American-grown strain of beautifully crum¬ 
pled and wrinkled Savoy cabbage, being far su¬ 
perior in every way to the imported Savoy seed aa 
usually sown. The heads are large, solid and com¬ 
pact, and its fine appearance, coupled with the de¬ 
licious flavor and tenderness, never fail to find 
ready saie. 
CARROT 
Moehre. Carotte. 
CULTURE. —For successful cultivation soil should be light (sandy soil is the best) and deeply 
tilled. For an early crop the seed should be sown as early as the ground can be properly worked 
For late crops it may be sown until about th© middle of June. 
EARLY CHANTENAY. Has no equal as a bunching 
carrot. The roots are uniformly smooth, regular and per¬ 
fect in shape. The flesh is of a .beautiful deep orange, 
fine in texture, solid, but tender, and very sweet. 
GUERANDE OR OXHEART. A variety with short, 
thick roots, the diameter often exceeding the length. Color 
bright orange, sweet and fine grained, good for table or 
stock. 
DANVERS. There is no variety grown which will pro¬ 
duce as much to the acre, with a minimum length of root, 
as this one. Under proper conditions of the soil and culti¬ 
vation, it may reasonably be expected to produce, which it 
has done, 25 to 30 tons per acre. It is of medium length 
and heavy at the neck, but pointed and quite smooth, color 
a rich orange. 
EARLY SCARLET HORN STUMP-ROOTED. A fine 
variety of medium size; color scarlet; fine flavor. 
IMPROVED LONG ORANGE. A well known standard 
•ort, roots long, thickest near the crown, tapering regu¬ 
larly to a point; color deep orange; suitable for the table 
and main field crop.
