Improved American Drumhead 
Savoy Cabbage 
Select Cabbage 
Early varieties are grown from seed sown in hotbeds in 
February or March, only moderate bottom heat being re¬ 
quired. Transplant into other frames, without much, if any, 
bottom heat, as soon as the plants show the fourth leaf. In 
April, or as soon as the ground can be easily worked, set out 
in rows 3 feet apart, and about 1 Y 2 feet between the plants. 
The ground should be thoroughly stirred with cultivator and 
hoed every week till the plants cover the ground. For a fall 
crop, sow in the open ground in May, in hills the proper dis¬ 
tance apart, using a liberal quantity of manure in the hill, 
besides that which is plowed in; thin out to one good plant 
in each hill. In the same way, crops may be grown to lay in 
for winter use, planting seed as late as July 1. Seeds can also 
be sown in shallow drills, and, when the plants are large enough, 
can be transplanted, setting the plants in rows 3 feet apart and 
2 feet apart in the row. Succeeds best in deep, rich loam. 
One ounce of seed will produce 3,000 plants; 4 ounces will sow an acre 
All Seasons or Vandergaw. 105 days. Noted for its superior 
quality and delicacy of flavor. Almost as early as Hender¬ 
son’s Early Summer, while the heads are larger and quite 
thick through; a good variety and a splendid winter keeper. 
Copenhagen Market. 95 days. The heads are very solid 
with a small core and of fine quality; average weight, about 
ten pounds. It matures as early as the Charleston Wakefield, 
and will give a much heavier yield than that popular variety; 
the plant is short-stemmed. Leaves are light green and very 
tightly folded. 
Danish Ballhead. 120 days. Heads are thick, round, of 
medium size, and as hard as a rock. The stump averages 
longer than with our native sorts. For late marketing, 
plant about ten days earlier than the common Drumhead on 
land liberally manured. 
Extra-Early Jersey Wakefield. 85 days. The best early 
variety of Cabbage. Heads of medium size, pyramidal, 
pointed, firm and solid, with few outside leaves; they are 
very uniform in shape, size, and time of maturing, and are 
of good quality. 
Golden Acre. 90 days. This is a new, early, round-headed 
Cabbage which closely resembles Copenhagen Market. As 
its name implies, it is a money maker. Eight to ten days 
earlier, smaller, and can be planted closer. 
Improved American Drumhead Savoy. 110 days. Heads 
large, solid, with finely curled, close, wrinkled leaves, of cau¬ 
liflower flavor. A good-keeping winter Cabbage. 
Large Jersey Wakefield or Charleston. 97 days. A selec¬ 
tion from Early Wakefield, and ten days later, with heads 
rounded and twice as large. 
Penn State Ballhead. 130 days. A large, somewhat flattened 
form of the Ballhead, producing probably the largest ton¬ 
nage per acre of any variety of Cabbage. Developed by 
Pennsylvania State College. 
Red Dutch. 100 days. Widely grown for pickling. A good 
red Cabbage. 
Select Large Late Flat Dutch. 120 days. An excellent keep¬ 
ing variety; the old standby for main crops. Very large; 
of fine quality. 
Ulm Savoy. 95 days. Much earlier than other varieties of 
this species; medium-sized head; well-curled leaves. 
Warren’s Stonemason. A greatly improved type of Stone¬ 
mason, being earlier, rounder, and more solid.
