Kraut (Ger.) 
CABBAGE 
One ounce of seed will produce 1500 to 2000 plants sown in open ground , or 3000 
a packet about 250 plants. It requires 4 to 6 ounces of seed to produce plants for 
if sown in frames; 
an acre of ground.

Methods of Culture. To get very early cabbage in the Northern states 
the seed should be sown in hot-beds in February or March, or about six 
weeks before the ground outside is ready to receive the plants. For the 
home garden it is often more satisfactory to buy a few dozen plants for 
early cabbage. For medium early crop, the seed of early kinds like Copen¬ 
hagen Market or Golden Acre may be sown in the open ground as early as 
possible and the plants transplanted as soon as large enough. They will 
give cabbage ready for use in August if the land is rich and well cultivated, 
for the late crop the seed should be sown in the Northern states about May 
20, and the plants set out July 1. Seed of early varieties may be sown as 
late as June 10, and will mature a good crop. For late sowing Large Late 
Copenhagen and Enkhuizen Glory are good. 
Copenhagen Market 
uizen 
Midseason Market 
GOLDEN ACRE. The earliest Cabbage. See 
colored photo on page G. This variety ma¬ 
tures earlier than any other kind we have ever 
grown and in our trial grounds it headed a 
week earlier than Jersey Wakefield and two 
weeks earlier than Copenhagen Market, which 
it resembles in many respects. 
1 he heads are of medium size, (4 to 5 lbs.) 
as round as a ball and very firm. The plant is 
of dwarf compact growth with but few leaves 
so the plants may be set close together. Prac¬ 
tically every plant makes a perfect head and 
all the heads mature at very nearly the same 
time. 
Owing to its earliness, uniformity, fine qual¬ 
ity and appearance, this cabbage has proved 
to be one of the most profitable market varie¬ 
ties for the early crop. 
This is the strain of Golden Acre which we 
have sold for years and is much superior in 
uniformity of type and earliness to many 
stocks that are sold at a much higher price. 
Pkt. 10c; Oz. 40c; Vi Lb. $1.15; Lb. $3.75. 
GOLDEN ACRE Special. The earliest and 
most uniform in type of any strain we have 
ever seen. We particularly recommend it to 
growers who want the very earliest and best. 
Pkt. 15c; Oz. 65c; Vi Lb. $2.00; Lb. $7.00. 
Early and Medium Early Varieties 
COPENHAGEN MARKET. True Large 
Heading Strain. This early round head cab¬ 
bage is a little later than Golden Acre and has 
larger heads. It is as round as a ball, very 
compact and with few outside leaves. 
This cabbage heads very uniformly; prac¬ 
tically every plant making a good firm head. 
This is a profitable cabbage to grow for market 
and an excellent early variety for the home 
garden. 
It is largely grown for kraut and is excellent 
for this purpose, the heads being of fine qual¬ 
ity, tender and without coarseness. We can 
now offer a very fine strain that not only 
makes uniform hard heads, but which are 
larger than most other stocks of this variety. 
Pkt. 10c; Oz. 30c; 1/4 Lb. 90c; Lb. $3.00. 
MARION MARKET. Yellows Resistant 
Copenhagen Type. This is the best of the 
early round head resistant varieties. The 
heads resemble Copenhagen Market in shape 
and mature about the same time. Our stock 
is the truest strain we have seen. It will grow 
and mature good early round heads on land so 
diseased with “yellows” that other cabbage 
fails entirely. 
Pkt. 10c; Oz. 50c; Vi Lb. $1.35; Lb. $4.50. 
Early Jersey Wakefield. The standard early 
cabbage with pointed heads. The heads are of 
good size; and very compact. Our strain is 
very early and practically all the plants produce 
heads of the correct shape and they mature 
almost at the same time. 
Lb. 75c; Lb. $2.50. 
Pkt. 10c; Oz. 25c; 1/4 
SLEAFORD MARKET 
Grow for Quality 
This cabbage is of such superior quality to 
ordinary cabbage that there is no comparison in 
flavor, being as delicate in flavor as Brussel 
Sprouts. If you never have eaten cabbage of this 
type you have a treat in store for you. The heads 
mature early, are of medium size, pointed and do 
not get very hard. On account of its superb 
quality we particularly recommend this cabbage 
for the home garden. 
Pkt. 10c; Oz. 50c; l/ 4 Lb. $1.25. 
MIDSEASON MARKET. This variety is one 
of the heaviest yielding kinds with which we 
are acquainted. It is a midseason variety, 
maturing only little later than Enkhuizen 
Glory. The heads are round, deep, very firm 
and of good size, averaging 8 to 10 lbs. when 
well grown. They are remarkably uniform in 
shape and even in size. The plants are of 
vigorous growth with short stems and round 
leaves of rather light green color. The seed we 
offer is very fine, practically every plant makes 
a good solid head. 
We highly recommend this fine cabbage for 
market, kraut and home use. 
Pkt. 10c; Oz. 30c; 1/4 Lb. 85c; Lb. $2.75. 
LARGE LATE COPENHAGEN. (New.) This 
new strain which we introduced recen tfy is 
proving to be one of the best kinds grown for 
late fall market and kraut. See full descrip¬ 
tion and illustration on page 7. 
Pkt. 10c; Oz. 35c; Vi Lb. $1.10; Lb. $3.50. 
ENKHUIZEN GLORY. Originator’s Strain. 
This cabbage is one of the best varieties for 
medium early or main crop and kraut. The 
heads are large, weighing 8 to 10 pounds, and 
mature only a week later than Copenhagen 
Market. The seed we offer is of the true origi¬ 
nator s stock and will be found very superior 
in every way. Enkhuizen Glory has proved a 
most profitable variety both for market and 
kraut. 
Pkt. 10c; Oz. 25c; Vi Lb. 70c; Lb. $2.25. 
Burpee’s All Head Early. Medium early; 
large solid flat heads, and of compact growth. 
Pkt. 10c; Oz. 25c; Vi Lb. 75c; Lb. $2.50. 
Savoy Cabbage 
Perfection Drumhead. See color photo on 
page G. Savoy Cabbage is of much finer qual¬ 
ity than ordinary cabbage and should have a 
place in every home garden. 
For winter use the plants should be set out 
about July 1st. In our trials this year the 
stock we offer was much superior in type and 
yield to any other strain of Savoy. 
Pkt. 10c; Oz. 30c; Vi Lb. 90c; Lb. $3.00.
