Early Dwarf Ulm Savoy 
A “yellows” resistant 
strain of cabbage developed out of our stock of Hollander under the direction of 
University of Wisconsin. At Racine, Wisconsin, where for several years many 
Wisconsin No. 8 
of the commercial crops of cabbage were badly infected 
proven to be practically immune from attack. The disease 
that known as the “yellows” and no claim is made that it is less suscepfcibl 
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. 8c, 2 for 15c; Oz. $2.50; 2 Oz. $4.50; Vi Lb. $8.00

• | j The strain 
Chinese Improved we offer 
Tcni resembles when well 
UI 1 1 5<11 grown Cos Lettuce 
rather than Cabbage. It is often called 
Celery Cabbage on the market. 
The leaves when young are crimped, 
of light green color and appear like 
smooth leaved mustard but with much 
broader and heavier midribs. The 
plant as it matures becomes more up¬ 
right. and forms beads much like Cos 
Lettuce. The inner leaves blanch an 
attractive light yellow or creamy 
whit*' 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 plant¬ 
ings of IV-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. (See cut ana far¬
