Copenhagen Market Cabbage 
CABBAGE 
Weisskraut Chou pomme Col repollo Cavollo 
One packet each of an early, midseason, and late sort will produce sufficient 
plants for early, fall, and winter use. One ounce provides 3000 plants. 
Culture. Cabbage grows well in almost all soil but it should be heavily 
manured and deeply dug. Seed for earliest crops are sown in hotbeds or indoors 
in late winter and the seedlings transplanted to the open ground as soon as the 
ground is fit to work. Fall and winter varieties are sown in late spring in the 
open ground and the seedlings are set out 2 feet apart each way as soon as they 
are 6 inches high or less. The seedlings should be thinned and grown stocky in 
order to begin with good plants. Cultivate the young plants as soon as it is 
possible to get between the rows, and protect them from insects and worms with 
tobacco dust or powdered hellebore. 
EARLY AND MIDSEASON VARIETIES 
To insure a uniform stand of 
Cabbage only stocky, vigorous 
plants should be set out. 
Danish Ballhead Cabbage 
MIDSEASON AND LATE VARIETIES 
All Seasons. This variety produces large, heavy, handsome heads 
in about 130 days from date of planting. It has excellent heat- 
resistant ability and is a dependable header of good table 
quality. 
Danish Ballhead. The standard winter Cabbage in the eastern 
part of the country, absolutely without a rival for market and 
shipping. We have tried all strains of this variety and consider 
that we have the best grown in the country. Our seed is espe¬ 
cially grown for us in Denmark, where it originated. 
Golden Acre Cabbage 
Thin Cabbage seedlings rig¬ 
orously and do not let them 
stand too long in seed-beds. 
Allhead Early. One of the earliest flat-headed varieties, producing 
handsome solid Cabbages in 120 days from date of sowing. This 
variety is generally uniform in shape and size and can be counted 
on for a steady crop of first-class quality. 
Copenhagen Market. A round-heading, early sort, forming Cabbages 
7 to 8 inches in diameter within 100 to 110 days from sowing the 
seed, depending somewhat on soil and weather conditions. It is a 
heavier, denser head than the popular Early Jersey Wakefield and 
matures in about the same length of time. 
Early Flat Dutch. Thick, flat heads on compact plants with short 
stems, firm, solid and of excellent quality. 
Early Jersey Wakefield. This is the standard extra-early, pointed-head 
Cabbage, either for home-garden or market. It has long been the 
leading early Cabbage for everybody. The head is broad at the base, 
tapering to a short point. Leaves are loose and lustrous all the way 
through. It is by far the finest flavored of all Cabbages and is easily 
the best variety for home use. The strong flavor and the unpleasant 
odor which the late Cabbages have when they are being cooked are 
absent. If the plants are started early and set out as soon as the 
frost is out of the ground, the heads will be ready for use in the 
beginning of the summer. Successive plantings will enable you to 
enjoy this most delicious of all Cabbages up until hot weather begins. 
Early Winnigstadt. Similar to Early Jersey Wakefield in size and habit 
but the foliage is darker and the heads harder and heavier. It is a 
sure “header,” even under unfavorable weather conditions, and is 
generally liked because of its solidity and weight. 
Glory of Enkhuizen. This is highly regarded as a second early, coming 
after the very early varieties have passed their best. It has short 
stems and is very sure heading. The heads are rather large, globular, 
hard, and solid. 
Golden Acre. A new round-headed Cabbage which closely resembles 
Copenhagen Market but matures 8 to 10 days earlier. Because of 
its earliness and fine quality it commands a higher price in the market 
than any other round-headed Cabbage. It is fast displacing 
some of the older varieties. 
Marion Market. Resembles Copenhagen Market but matures 
about 10 days later and makes a larger plant. It is highly re¬ 
sistant to Cabbage diseases and is valuable for land which is 
infested. Its round, solid heads are good for kraut and long¬ 
distance shipping.
