PENIN STATE Ballhead Cabbage 
/PENN STATE BALLHEAD\ 
This very excellent late Cabbage, developed by Dr. C. E. 
Myers, Professor of Plant Breeding of our Pennsylvania State 
College, produces the nearest to ioo per cent marketable heads 
of any late Cabbage we know. Each year, under Dr. Myers’ own 
personal supervision, is produced the stock-seed from which our 
seed is then produced. 
Only those with a knowledge of the intensive, expert breed¬ 
ing-work carried on by Dr. Myers for many years past, as well 
as at this present time, can appreciate the true value of this 
thoroughbred strain of late Ballhead Cabbage. Is it any wonder 
then that it has yielded as much as 23.8 tons per acre, as com¬ 
pared with the average of io tons per acre of other varieties. 
Penn State Ballhead will mean a big crop of quality Cabbage to 
everyone who grows it. Pkt. 10 cts.; 3 pkts. 25 cts.; V 2 OZ. 45 cts.; 
oz. 75 cts.; V^lb. $2.25; lb. $8; 2 lbs. at $7.75 per lb.; 5 lbs. 
at $7.50 per lb.; 10 lbs. at $7.25 per lb., postpaid.

c&bbige grown by The Pennsylvania State College. In order to

SEE THE ABOVE LABEL? 
Do not accept any Cabbage Seed as Penn State 
Ballhead grown from Dr. Myers’ stock-seed unless 
the original package has this label on it signed by 
Dr. C. E. Myers, originator. Every package, of any 
quantity you get from us, bears this label. It’s your 
guarantee of the genuine stock. 
IMPORTANT! Unfavorable conditions cut down the seed crop of Penn State Cabbage 50 per cent last 
year, so we have only half a crop which cost as much to grow as a full crop. In other words, each pound of seed 
cost twice as much to grow it, hence the slight increase in price. I fear we are going to run out of seed early.

JJnijQpr O ne the most popular late varieties. 
—--■ Houser Cabbage has a large head, “solid 
as a rock,” and seldom “cracks,” except at the stem 
end. The heart is unusually small, a valuable fea¬ 
ture, and the entire head is finely grained and free 
from the coarse ribs found in some varieties. The heads 
are round, sometimes developing a very slight dull 
point or oval shape at the top. It has been the habit of 
Houser Cabbage, since its introduction years ago, to fol¬ 
low this tendency. Houser is different in color, shape, and 
quality from any other Cabbage. Its keeping qualities 
are remarkable. The heads average 10 to 12 pounds. 
Down goes the price this year! Pkt. 10 cts.; 3 pkts.
