CABBAGE 
Cabbage 
For Cabbage Seed, Cabbage Plants, and Cabbage 
Information, We are Headquarters. 
We are large growers and shippers of cabbage, growing and 
shipping hundreds of cars yearly. We have tested and tried 
out on our Vegetable Farms every standard type of cabbage 
grown in this and foreign countries and the varieties listed 
herein are those found to be best adapted to the soil and 
climatic conditions of the West and Middle West, and we 
know they are true to type and description. 
Culture. No satisfactory results can be obtained where poor 
seed is planted. A heavy moist rich loam is most suitable. The 
ground should be well fertilized, deeply plowed (fall plowed if 
possible). For early planting sow seeds of the early varieties 
in hotbeds the latter part of January or the first part of Feb' 
ruary. For second early, sow in March and April, in hotbeds 
or cold frames. For late varieties, sow outside in April and May. 
The plants should be set in rows 2'/2 to 3 feet apart and from 
12 to 18 inches apart in the row, according to the richness of 
the soil—the richer the soil the closer they may be grown. 
The cabbage worm and aphis are the most common cabbage 
pests. Paris Green and Arsenate of Lead are very effective but 
dangerous as they are very poisonous to humans. We recom¬ 
mend using Cubor for worms, and Nicotine or Cubor for 
aphis. See pages 69 and 70. 
Golden Acre Cabbage. 
Golden Acre Cabbage (Selected). The Earliest Round 
Head Variety. 63 to 66 days. A new variety of extra early 
round-headed cabbage, very closely resembling Copenhagen 
Market. It matures uniformly and all heads about the same 
time. The heads are round, solid and when full grown meas¬ 
ure 8 to 12 inches in diameter. The plants can be set very 
close as there are only about 12 outside leaves and these 
are very short. The stalk or stem is very short. Selected 
strain—pkt., 10c; oz., 20c; oz., 30c; M lb., $1.10; lb., 
$3.75, postpaid. Ordinary strain—pkt., 10c; oz., 20c; 
oz., 30c; lb., 80c; lb., $2.50, postpaid. 
Copenhagen Market. 70 to 75 days. A splendid early, 
round head sort, head averaging 5 to 8 pounds in weight. 
The compact growth of the plant, the solidity of the head, 
its excellent flavor and extreme earliness, all combine to 
make Copenhagen Market one of the most meritorious cab¬ 
bages that has come to our notice during our experience in 
handling cabbage. It is very popular with the market gar¬ 
deners, being short stemmed and maturing the heads all at 
the same time. Gold Seal Quality. Pkt., 10c; oz., 30c; lb., 
85c; lb., $2.75, postpaid. 
Danish Roundhead Short Stem Cabbage 
Early Jersey Wakefield. 65 to 68 days. A very satisfac¬ 
tory sort where an early pointed head is desired. Pkt., 10c; 
oz., 25c; M lb., 80c; lb., $2.50, postpaid. 
European Market. An Extra Early Cabbage. 70 to 72 days. 
All extra early varieties of cabbage are usually very light 
yielders, but our European Market is both extra early and a 
heavy yielder. It follows Golden Acre, being only about 
4 days later but is a much heavier yielder and a better 
header. It is about 5 days earlier than Copenhagen Market 
and produces equally as heavy a yield and uniform crop of 
large, round, solid heads of nice green color. It is an excel¬ 
lent shipping variety and year in and year out European 
Market is the most profitable cabbage that can be grown. 
Pkt., 10c; oz., 30c; M lb., 85c; lb., $2.75, postpaid. 
Glory of Enkhuizen. 80 to 85 days. This variety is now 
the leading and most desirable midseason cabbage because 
it is very dependable as a crop producer. Heads are good 
size, solid, round in shape, good green color. It matures a 
little later than European and Copenhagen Market and just 
before the Hollander and Danish Roundhead. Our seed is 
grown for us in Holland by a specialist. Pkt., 10c; oz., 25c; 
lb., 80c; lb., $2.75, postpaid. 
Danish Roundhead Short Stem. (Gold Seal Qual¬ 
ity). 98 to 105 days. This is the most popular of all late 
varieties for fall and winter use. It is an earlier, shorter 
stemmed, improved strain of the Danish Ballhead. The 
heads are the right market size—not too large, very solid 
and heavy, weighing fully a fourth more than other varieties 
of equal size. It is less liable to blight and disease and makes 
vigorous growth even in hot weather. Pkt., 10c; oz., 30c; 
J4 lb., 85c; lb., $2.75, postpaid. 
Early Winnigstadt. (Gold Seal Quality). 80 to 85 days. 
A favorite among growers who have good rich land. It al¬ 
ways meets with ready sales on account of its fine appear¬ 
ance. The heads are pointed, compact, hard, of rich green 
color and uniform in size, making it a very desirable ship¬ 
ping cabbage. Pkt., 10c; oz., 25c; M lb., 80c; lb., $2.50.
