. mr q A “yellows” resistant strain of cabbage developed out of our stock of Hollander under the direction of 
Wisconsin iNO. O Dr. L. R. Jones of the University of Wisconsin. At Racine, Wisconsin, where for several years many 
of the commercial crops of cabbage were badly infected or entirely destroyed by the disease called the yellows this strain has 
proven to be practically immune from attack. The disease resistant properties of this variety, however, apply only to 
that known as the “yellows” and no claim is made that it is less susceptible to other forms of disease such as Black Rot, Black 
Leg or Club Root than other sorts. Although showing considerable variation in type the plants resemble Hollander but are 
larger and more leafy and spreading. The heads are round or somewhat flattened and retain to a remarkable degree the 
solidity and excellent keeping qualities of the Hollander. For localities where Cabbage plants are affected by the yellows 
we earnestly recommend a planting of this new strain. Pkt. 10c; Oz. $2.70; 2 Oz. $4.30; V 4 Lb. $7.75 
Hollander or Danish Ball Head 
Very hardy, sure heading, very solid, of good quality and as one of the very best 
keepers this is particularly desirable for distant markets or for late spring use. 
The plants are vigorous and compact, with stem of medium length. They are exceedingly hardy in resisting cold and stand 
dry weather well. The leaves are 
distinctly upright in growth, few 
but rather large, long and narrow, 
thick, smooth, bluish green covered 
with whitish bloom. The heads are 
medium sized, round, exceptionally 
solid and stand shipment better 
than any other late sort. Our strain 
of Hollander is shorter stemmedan I 
produces heads generally larger 
than other stocks. We offer seecl of 
our own growing which, judging 
from our trials, will produce more 
uniformly typical heads than can 
be grown from stock obtainable 
elsewhere.

Typical Hlads of Our Strain of Hollander 
• * _» The strain we offer resembles when well grown Cos Lettuce rather than Cabbage. It is often called 
Lninese Improved Celery Cabbage on the market. 
p e T* sa : The leaves when young gxe crimped, of light green color and appear like smooth leaved mustard but with 
* ac * 1 much broader and heavier midribs. The plant as it matures becomes more upright and forms heads much like 
Cos Lettuce. The inner leaves blanch an attractive light yellow or creamy white with very white midribs. It is of distinctive 
flavor, very mild and pleasant. It is served as a salad like lettuce or cooked like asparagus. 
Sow in this latitude after July 1st at the same time as turnips. Early plantings of Pe-Tsai run quickly to seed in hot weather. 
Sow in drills fourteen to twenty inches apart and thin two or three times: or if grown for the market start in boxes and 
transplant like late cabbage. Pkt. 10c; Oz. 60c; 2 Oz. $1.00; Vi Lb. $1.75
