ALEXANDER FORBES & CO., NEWARK, N. J. 
THE EARLIEST OF ALL ROUND CABBAGES 
PREMIER. This new strain, after two years of thorough trial, has 
-- proved to be the earliest of all the round-headed Cab¬ 
bages. It is 3 to 4 days earlier than Golden Acre, but the heads are 
a little smaller, although very firm, of delicious flavor, and tender 
quality. The plant is more compact and can be planted closer. 
The Best of the Late Cabbages 
Copenhagen Market, Late. The uniform, hard, large, 10 to 12-inch 
diameter heads can be cut for main crop or later for kraut. The yield is 
enormous. Matures 10 days after Copenhagen Market Midseason and 
20 days after Copenhagen Market Early. 
DANISH ROUNDHEAD, SHORT-STEMMED. One of the best-keeping 
varieties ever originated. Heads are round, large, heavy and very hard. 
HOLLANDER. This variety produces vigorous, compact plants with 
-- short stems. The leaves are few in number, upright, 
and rather large. The heads are very solid, round, of medium size and 
stand shipment better than any other desirable late Cabbage. They are 
of good quality and keep unusually well for late spring use. Hollander 
is sure-heading and very hardy, resisting cold and standing dry weather. 
Ferry’s Hollander. An unusually fine strain of this very hardy, sure- 
heading, solid Cabbage. Remarkably uniform, medium-sized, very hard, 
round heads on short stems. Fine shipper. 
LATE FLAT DUTCH, SUPERB. Heads large, flat, of a bluish green 
color, with few outer leaves, and on a short stem, are uniform and solid. 
Penn State Ballhead. A very hard and tight-heading selection of Danish 
Ballhead which for this reason yields an increased tonnage per acre. It 
may be planted closer because of restricted leaf-growth. The heads are 
solid, uniform, fine-grained, on short stems and keep wonderfully well. 
Penn State Ballhead, Certified. A special strain produced from stock 
seed supplied by the originator. Dr. C. E. Myers, of Pennsylvania 
State College. Supplied in sealed packages only. 
The Best Red Cabbages 
HACO. This variety is the earliest good red 
Cabbage and the heads are intense dark red 
throughout. After being trimmed for market, 
they will average three pounds in weight. 
Mammoth Rock Red. This late standard va¬ 
riety produces very solid, 10-pound heads of 
intense dark red color. The plant is large with 
numerous spreading leaves and is sure-heading. 
Used very largely for pickling on account of its 
excellent flavor and attractive color and pro¬ 
duces the largest heads of the red varieties. 
Other Second-Early Varieties 
Allhead Early. Considerably larger than any other of 
equal earliness. The deep flat, large heads are very solid, 
heavy, and uniform in color, size, and form. 
Succession. A foremost Cabbage for all purposes. The 
enormous, flat, solid, uniform heads are of fine quality.

CHINESE CABBAGE 
One ounce produces 2,000 plants; Vi to l / 2 pound will plant an acre 
We advise that the seed be sown in July (not any earlier or 
later) because Chinese Cabbage has a tendency to bolt to seed 
in warm weather. Either start in frames and transplant, or, 
better still, simply sow where the plants are to remain in rows 
23 ^ feet apart, thinning to from 12 to 18 inches apart in the row. 
This spacing will produce heads weighing 6 to 10 pounds each. 
If the spacing is reduced to 10 inches apart in the row and the 
rows to 2 feet apart, it will grow heads to 2 pounds each. 
SPECIAL NARROW 
HEAD. This new 
strain forms tall, slim, 
pointed heads, much 
heavier and taller 
than Pe-Tsai and 
very solid. They cut 
like hard Cabbage 
heads, keep better 
and weigh a lot 
more. This is best 
if the crop is to be 
sold by weight on 
the market. 
Wong Bok. This is 
the original Chinese- 
grown strain, pro¬ 
ducing a heavier and 
more solid head than 
the Pe-Tsai variety. 
H a s a deliciously 
mild Cabbage flavor, 
and the pale green, 
closely wrapped 
leaves blanch to 
almost pure white
