HARRIS’ BALLHEAD. (Short Stemmed.) 
This new strain is the most uniform stock of 
deep heading Danish cabbage which we know. 
This special strain has been very carefully bred 
on our own farm for several years. The heads 
are extremely hard and of good size. It is 
deeper in shape than most other strains and 
will give a large tonnage of fine cabbage to the 
acre. Crop very short. See page 6. 
Pkt. 15c; Oz. 65c; Vi Lb. $2.00. 
DANISH BALLHEAD Short Stem. See also 
page 6. Also called “Danish Roundhead.” 
This is a very uniform and heavy yielding 
strain. The heads are large, very solid, more 
flattened than Harris’ Ballhead, and of good 
deep green color. Our seed of this variety is 
very true, practically every plant making a 
good firm head.

DANISH BALLHEAD Intermediate. This 
strain produces heads that are deeper and not 
so much flattened as the Short Stem. They 
are very solid, and deep green. They keep ex¬ 
ceptionally well in storage.

Red Cabbage 
Red cabbage is always in demand for pickling 
and it usually sells for more in the markets than 
white cabbage. If really good seed is used there 
is no reason why Red cabbage should not yield 
nearly as much as Danish Ballhead and prove 
much more profitable. 
MAMMOTH ROCK RED. The largest and 
best. This is the largest and best of the red 
varieties. The seed we offer produces large, 
deep solid heads of dark red color and practi¬ 
cally every plant will produce a good head 
under favorable conditions.

PENN STATE BALLHEAD. True Uniform 
Stock. This excellent variety was originated 
by Dr. Meyers of the Pennsylvania State Col¬ 
lege and has found favor in many cabbage 
growing sections. It is a short stem variety, 
with heads of medium size, inclined to be flat 
but very hard and an attractive bright green 
color. This cabbage will produce a large ton¬ 
nage per acre and keeps well in storage. We 
strongly recommend this variety for growers 
who prefer a Danish cabbage of the flat type.

Wisconsin HOLLANDER. “Yellows” Re¬ 
sistant. The heads are as round as a ball and 
very deep green with a purple or bluish tint on 
the edges. The plants are of strong, healthy 
growth with short stems, very hardy, and pro¬ 
duce heads of uniform type. We recommend 
this variety for growing in sections where 11 Yel¬ 
lows” is prevalent. 
This strain will grow and produce good Dan¬ 
ish cabbage on land that is so diseased with 
Yellows” that other cabbage fails entirely.

the 
CHINESE CABBAGE, also called “Celery Cabbage 1 
An ounce of seed will sow h0 to 50 feet of row, a packet 3 feet. 
This vegetable of the cabbage family has become extremely popular. The large mid-ribs of the leaves are 
perfectly white and very crisp and tender. It is excellent when used as a salad, being of a very delicate flavor 
slightly resembling raw cabbage but more delicious. It is so easily raised there is no reason why everyone who 
has a garden should not enjoy it. 
Chinese cabbage has proved a very profitable crop for muck land. There is a good demand for it in New York 
and other large markets in carload lots. The seed should be sown not earlier than the first of July in rows 
_ j feet apart, and the plants thinned 18 to 20 inches apart in the rows. If sown early it soon runs to seed 
and is useless. The crop matures in eight to ten weeks. 
Ha rris' Special Strains of Danish Cabbage 
There seems to be no “best” type of Danish cabbage for all places and all conditions. There are 
many strains of great merit that differ in some particulars or are suited to particular climates, types 
of soil or markets. The thing to do is to find out which type is best suited to your conditions and 
grow that kind. 
The strains we have listed here are the best in their respective classes and are offered by us after 
careful observation in our own trial grounds and in our customers’ fields. We firmly believe that there 
can be no better Danish cabbage sold than these varieties which we offer no matter how much is charged 
for the seed! 
Chihli 
Pe-Tsai 
Chihli Early —Fine Quality—Sure Heading 
This is the earliest variety of Chinese Cabbage and heads more evenly than any other kind. 
The heads are pointed very firm and when matured are often 18 in. long, blanched pure 
white inside and are of very fine quality. 
Chihli is rapidly superseding the older varieties in markets and roadside stands, as the 
attractive heads sell readily, making this a very profitable crop to grow. Our strain of 
Chihli is very uniform and sure heading.
