Italian Green Sprouting Broccoli. 
A wonderful crop of Golden Acre Cab¬ 
bage. It is a great satisfaction to produce 
a field of such a uniform crop from seed 
such as you get from Holmes. 
Holmes—Houser Cabbage. 
SPABGEL KOHL (Ger.) 
Broccoli 
CAVOLO BBOCCOLE (It.) 
One ounce will produce 5000 plants; 3 ounces per acre. 
ITALIAN GREEN SPROUTING (Calabrese). This is a delicious 
vegetable. It somewhat resembles Cauliflower, but it is of a more 
delicate flavor. Preferred to cauliflower as it may be cut from early 
summer to late fall, as every new branch produces a head or sprout. 
The heads or sprouts, when ready to use are deep green and when 
cooked in the same manner as cauliflower are very tender and tasty. 
Broccoli is grown the same as cabbage or cauliflower. A favorite with 
the Italians. The yield is large and the Broccoli always commands 
good prices. The strain we offer has been tested. Fkt., 10c; y 2 oz., 30c; 
oz., 50c; X A lb., $1.50; lb., $5.00. 
Brussels Sprouts 
KOSENKOHL (Ger.) CAVOLO HI BRUSSELS (It.) 
One ounce will produce 2500 plants; one-fourth pound will plant an acre. 
Use a rich, heavy loam with good drainage. In the latitude of Canton, 
sow outside in rows in May and transplant in July to rows 2 to 2 y 2 
feet apart, setting the plants 1% to 2 feet apart in the rows. Culti¬ 
vate often. 
LONG ISLAND IMPROVED DWARF. (Special). This is the same stock 
used by the professional Long Island growers. It is usually hard to 
get a strain of Brussels Sprouts that yields well in this country. Our 
Long Island Special yields more than three times as many large, solid 
sprouts as any other strain or variety we know. The plants of the 
Long Island Special do not grow very tall, but they are covered from 
the ground up with large sprouts. With our special strain you can 
raise Brussels Sprouts for market and make a good profit. Do not get 
our Special Strain confused with the ordinary Long Island strain that 
is offered by many seedsmen. Fkt., 10c; oz., 25c; X A lb., 75c; lb., $2.50. 
Cabbage 
KRAUT (Ger.) CAVOLO CAFUCCIO (It.) 
One ounce of seed produces about 4000 plants; 4 ounces 
enough plants to set an acre. 
CULTURE. See inside back cover. 
COPENHAGEN MARKET. Extra early. Heads are medium in size, 
perfectly round, solid, uniform in shape and maturity and of very 
good quality. This is a profitable Cabbage to grow for market and 
an excellent early variety for the home garden. This is also grown 
for kraut, for which it is unsurpassed. We can now offer a very fine 
strain. Fkt., 10c; ^ oz., 20c; oz., 30c; ,4 lb., 85c., lb., $2.75. 
GOLDEN ACRE. The earliest Cabbage. Matures a week ahead of Jer¬ 
sey Wakefield and ten days ahead of Copenhagen Market which it re¬ 
sembles in other respects. The heads are small to medium size, as 
round as a ball, and very firm. The plant is of dwarf, compact growth 
with but few leaves, permitting the plants to be set closely. All the 
heads mature at very nearly the same time. Owing to its earliness, 
uniformity, fine quality and appearance, this Cabbage has proven to 
be one of the most profitable market varieties, for the early crop. 
Fkt., 10c; V 2 oz., 20c; oz., 35c; X A lb., $1.15; lb., $3.50. 
GOLDEN ACRE SPECIAL. Growers will find this special strain a 
profitable one to use. Worth the price. See page 1. Fkt., 15c; y 2 oz., 
35c; oz., 55c; X A lb., $1.75; lb., $6.00. 
DISEASE RESISTANT GOLD ACRE. Resistant to “yellows”. This 
strain developed from Golden Acre on land infested so badly with 
the “yellows” disease that other varieties failed completely. It is 
the same type as Golden Acre. We recommend planting it on soils 
infested with yellows. Fkt., 15c; y 2 oz., 40c; oz., 75c; X A lb., $2.75; 
lb., $10.00. 
EARLY JERSEY WAKEFIELD. A standard early sort with pointed 
heads. Heads are of a fair size and very compact. Our strain is very 
early; practically all the plants produce heads of the correct shape 
and mature almost at the same time. Fkt., 5c; y 2 oz., 20c; oz., 30c; 
X A lb., 70c; lb., $2.00. 
GLORY OF ENKHUIZEN. Heads large in size, round, solid, uniform 
in shape and maturity, of very good quality. The heads will range 
from 6 to 7 pounds in weight. This variety is popular for market and 
home use. One of the most desirable varieties for kraut. We offer a 
very fine strain of this Cabbage—none better. Fkt., 10c; x / a oz., 20c; 
oz., 30c; X A lb., 75c; lb., $2.25. 
HOLMES-HOUSER. Latest Cabbage of Them All. Introduced by H. 
L. Holmes in 1897. It was noted then, as well as now, as the latest 
hard-heading, smallest-hearted, late-keeping Cabbage grown. Its won¬ 
derful quality, extremely small heart, and fine ribs are features not 
found in any other Cabbage. Holmes-Houser is solid, weighing 10 to 
12 pounds at maturity. The shape is round and deep, developing a 
very slight oval shape at the top (see illustration). In solidity it is 
as hard as the Danish Ballhead, compact in habit of growth, the 
leaves overlapping the head, and when it cracks or bursts it is al¬ 
ways on the stem end which does not destroy its use for market. It 
is a strong, vigorous grower, with ability to withstand drought better 
than most sorts. It sells well on the markets. We advise setting the 
plants out a couple weeks ahead of any other late sort, as it requires 
this much longer to mature. Fkt., 10c; x / a oz., 30c; oz., 50c; X A lb., 
$1.50; lb., $5.00.
