YELLOW RESISTANT STRAINS 
OF CABBAGE 
In the years immediately following 1900, crop failures became more and 
more frequent in the cabbage growing sections of the middle West. Even 
on land where the crop had been grown only a relatively few times, 
growers were puzzled by the fact that the plants turned Yellow, leaves 
dropped off at the stem and plants died in large numbers. This occurred 
even when careful rotation of cabbage with other crops was practiced. 
Once this diseased condition appeared there seemed to be no effective 
cure or prevention by rotation, seed or soil treatment, and the only course 
left to pursue was to abandon such fields as “Cabbage sick.” The va¬ 
rieties described below have proven their real worth in districts where it 
has been impossible to grow cabbage of the more common varieties in 
the past few years. 
YELLOW RESISTANT EARLY 
GOLDEN ACRE, absolutely a new 
variety, which has been bred out of 
the Golden Acre, but has been en¬ 
tirely satisfactory in the last two 
years on our trial grounds. We have 
found it to be as early as the early 
strains of Copenhagen and yet as 
resistant as any of the other 
varieties of cabbage, which are bred 
with a thought of producing a crop 
on infested soils. 
Our stock is limited on this va¬ 
riety and we would suggest that 
you place your orders early. Oz., 
$1.00; % lb., $3.00. 
The MARION MARKET was 
originally bred up from Copenhagen 
Market, but differs from the latter 
in several respects. It takes about 
ten days longer to mature than the 
early strains of Copenhagen and 
produces a much larger plant. The 
heads are practically round, very 
hardy and stand shipment well. The 
quality throughout is excellent, and 
a favorite for early Kraut. It is 
very highly resistant to the Yellows 
and we have seen this variety yield 
as high as 26 tons per acre. 
BUGNER’S SHORT STEM, ex¬ 
tremely popular wherever planted, 
our strain of seed is a production of 
the originators stock seed. This va¬ 
riety produces large, semi-round 
heads. It is disease resistant and 
will take trifle more space to grow 
than other varieties, should not be 
set closer than 2^ by 3 feet. 
WISCONSIN No. 8, a yellows re¬ 
sistant strain of the Danish Ball- 
head, desirable for growing in sec¬ 
tions infected with this disease. 
Plants are somewhat larger, more 
leafy and spreading than the Ball- 
head, but heads are fully as firm, 
compact and long keeping. 
WISCONSIN ALL SEASON, a mid¬ 
season variety, similar to All Sea¬ 
sons but resistant to Yellows. It 
is valuable for kraut or as a winter 
keeper. 
GLOBE, a yellow resistant type of 
the well known Glory of Enkhui- 
zen, having about the same size 
head as the Glory.
