Kraut (Ger.) 
CABBAGE 
Cavolo capucci (It.) 
One ounce of seed will produce 1500 to 2000 plants sown in open ground, or 3000 if sown in frames; 
a packet about 250 plants. It requires 0 to 6 ounces of seed to produce plants for 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. See page 82. For medium early crop, the seed of early 
kinds like Copenhagen 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 
Midseason Market 
We have bought your seed for several years and can say 
they can be depended on to grow. I ivas the only one 
around here to have a crop of cabbage. We made a fine lot of 
kraut from the Large Late Copenhagen. It was considered 
very nice. Harold G. Ellis, Overton, Pa. March 9, 1935. 
Early and Medium Early Varieties 
GOLDEN ACRE. The earliest Cabbage. See 
colored photo on page 6. 
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. 
Golden Acre matures earlier than any other 
kind we have ever grown. In our trial 
grounds it headed a week earlier than Jersey 
Wakefield and two weeks earlier than Copen¬ 
hagen Market, which it resembles in many 
respects. 
The 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.

GOLDEN ACRE Special. The earliest and 
most uniform stock we have ever seen. We 
particularly recommend it to growers who 
want only the best. 
Pkt. 15c; Oz. 65c; % Lb. $2.00; Lb. $7.00. 
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 evenly practically 
every plant making a good firm head. It is a 
profitable cabbage to grow for market and an 
excellent early variety for the home garden. 
Copenhagen Market is largely grown for 
kraut and is excellent for this purpose, the 
heads being of fine quality, tender and without 
coarseness. Our stock not only makes uniform 
hard heads, but which are larger than most 
other stocks of this variety. 
Pkt. 10c; Oz. 30c; Vi Lb. 90c; Lb. $3.00. 
ENKHUIZEN GLORY. Originator’s Strain. 
This cabbage is one of the best varieties and 
has proved to be one of the most popular 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. 
Pkt. 10c; Oz. 25c; Vi Lb. 70c; Lb. $2.25. 
MIDSEASON MARKET. One of the heaviest 
yielding kinds with which we are acquainted. 
It matures only a 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; Vi Lb. 85c; Lb. $2.75. 
MARION MARKET. Yellows Resistant 
Copenhagen Type. This variety will grow 
and mature good early round heads on land so 
diseased with “yellows” that other cabbage 
fails entirely. The heads resemble Copen¬ 
hagen Market in shape and mature a little 
later. Our stock is the truest strain we have 
seen and is an unusually uniform and true 
stock of this variety. 
Pkt. 10c; Oz. 50c; % 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. 
Pkt. 10c; Oz. 25c; Vi Lb. 75c; Lb. $2.50. 
Corrosive Sublimate will protect cabbage seed¬ 
lings from maggots. See page 87. 
LARGE LATE COPENHAGEN. (New.) Fine Kraut Cabbage. This 
new strain of Copenhagen Market cabbage which was originated by one 
of the leading cabbage seed growers in Denmark has proved itself an 
extremely fine variety to grow both for market and kraut. 
This is a remarkable variety in that the heads grow round and hard 
almost as early as regular Copenhagen Market and then continue to grow 
without splitting or getting soft, producing fine large solid heads ten to 
twelve inches in diameter that can be cut in the fall for kraut. When 
fully grown they will stand a long time without splitting and are so uniform 
that every plant produces a big hard solid head. 
If you are looking for heavy tonnage combined with fine hard heads 
of superior quality, grow some Large Late Copenhagen. 
Pkt. 10c; Oz. 35c; % Lb. $1.10; Lb. $3.50. 
SLEAFORD MARKET 
Grow for Quality 
This cabbage is of such superior quality to ordinary cabbage that there 
is no comparison. Sleaford Marketisas delicate in flavor as Brussels 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; V 4 Lb. $1.25.
