WISCONSIN HOLLANDER NO. 8 (Yellows-Resistant). Splendid late 
Cabbage for storage, shipment and kraut manufacture. Strain devel¬ 
oped from Hollander at the University of Wisconsin; on land infested 
so badly with the “yellows” disease that other varieties failed com¬ 
pletely. Heads large, globular, very firm. Keeps well until spring. 
Fkt., 10c; oz., 15c; oz., 25c; V4 lb., 75c; lb., $2.50. 
SUREHEAD. It is extremely popular with the market gardener, owing 
to its remarkable surety to head. Heads are uniform, hardy, fine in 
texture, of a large, flattened shape, sweetly flavored, with few loose 
leaves. Fkt., 5c; y 2 oz., 15c; oz., 20c; V4 lb., 65c; lb., $2.00. 
IMPROVED AMERICAN SAVOY. Here is a Savoy that will please the 
more particular gardener. Our strain has been bred for market garden 
purposes, is dark, densely curled and exceptionally hard-heading. It 
never fails to satisfy. Fkt., 5c; y 2 oz., 20c; oz., 25c; V4 lb., 75c; lb., 
$2.50. 
HOLLANDER SHORT STEM. This Cabbage is quite distinctive. The head 
is very solid and of a much rounded shape, but not above medium in 
size. The strain is a little earlier than the Ballhead, but in keeping 
quality there is no difference. It is a fine Ballhead Cabbage and in two 
respects it is of special value. Its size of head makes it very desirable 
for shipment to distant markets. It is also advantageous that the heads 
may be stripped of loose or damaged outer leaves yet present a green 
leaved surface. Fkt., 10c; V 2 oz., 25c; oz., 45c; V4 lb., $1.40; lb., $5.00. 
Chinese Cabbage 
One ounce of seed will sow 50 feet of row. 
We advise that the seed be sown in July or August (not earlier) because 
Chinese Cabbage has a tendency to bolt to seed in warm weather. Sow 
where the plants are to remain in rows 2% feet apart, 18 inches apart 
in the row. It is very easily grown and takes very little space. The 
crop matures in from 8 to 10 weeks. 
CHIHILI. This is the new grand strain of Chinese Cabbage. Grows 18 
to 24 inches tall and 5 to 7 inches in diameter, with straight and nar¬ 
row crown. Interior bleaches creamy white, crisp and delicious. It is 
a good keeper and shipper. We have proven seed. Fkt., 10c; oz., 20c; 
oz., 30c; y± lb., 85c; lb., $3.00. 
WONG BOK. This is a shorter and more solid head than the Pe-Tsai va¬ 
riety. Has a deliciously mild flavor, and the pale green, closely wrap¬ 
ped leaves blanch to almost pure white. Fkt., 5c; y^ oz., 15c; oz., 25o; 
V4 lb., 70c; lb., $2.25. 
CARROTEN (Ger.) 
Carrots 
CAROTA (It.) 
One ounce will sow 300 feet of row; 3 lbs. per acre. 
For early crop, sow as early as the ground can be worked and for later 
crops, in the latitude of Canton, sow up to about July 25. It is best 
for garden culture to sow in rows 12 to 14 inches apart; cover with 
about one-half inch of soil. When of sufficient size, thin out the plants 
to stand 2 to 3 inches between plants. 
“CORELESS” CHANTENAY. (Red Cored Chantenay). Growers 
have been looking for a coreless Carrot of the Chantenay type. Here 
it is at last. Instead of the light-colored core which has always shown 
in the Chantenay and Danvers, this new strain has the deep orange- 
red color through to the center. The Carrots are the same size as 
Chantenay and will yield just as abundantly. The strain we offer is 
very smooth and uniform in shape. We urge every grower, large or 
small, to grow our “Coreless” Chantenay Carrot. Fkt., 10c; oz., 15c; V4 
lb., 35c; lb., $1.25. 
NANTES. (Select Strain). One of the best early sorts. The roots are 7 
to 8 inches long, 1 to 1% inches thick, the same size the entire length, 
stump-rooted. The color is deep orange, which extends through the 
whole root without a light colored core. Fkt., 10c; oz., 15c; 14 lb., 35c; 
lb., $1.25. 
CHANTENAY. Our strain is specially selected and produces fine, uni¬ 
form roots. A medium early, half-long, smooth, blunt-rooted sort, of 
deep orange-red color and delicate flavor. As it has a strong top, it is 
very popular for bunching and for frame use, allowing close planting. 
The root is fine-grained, is of good quality and averages 5% inches in 
length. Fkt., 5c; oz., 10c; V4 lb., 35c; lb., $1.25. 
DANVERS HALF-LONG. This second early sort is slightly longer 
than Chantenay, growing 7 y 2 inches long; is square-shouldered, taper¬ 
ing gradually to a blunt point. The root is smooth and handsome, crisp 
flesh. For main planting it has no superior, and when sown during 
June it produces the best roots to store for winter. Fkt., 5c; oz., 10c; 
i/4 lb., 35c; lb., $1.25. 
CORELESS. A very popular early sort. The true type is about 6% to 
7 inches long and 1 to 1% inches thick, very stump-rooted with small 
rat tail. Color rich deep orange. Skin smooth, tops small. Fine grained 
and very tender. It is noted for its high table quality which is unsur¬ 
passed. Fkt., 10c; oz., 15c; V4 lb., 35c; lb., $1.50.
