CABBAGE 
RAISE YOUR OWN 
KRAUT AND SLAW 
Cabbage is one of my favorite vegetables and I have always had 
a lot of it in the trial grounds. Used to raise lots of it for market. 
I have spent a good deal of time in checking over the different varie¬ 
ties and kinds of seed. Guess I’ve tried all of four hundred kinds. 
These are the pick of them all. Start in house or hot bed six weeks 
or more before you expect to plant out of doors. Likes rich deep 
soil. An ounce should make 2500 plants.

All Head 
Early 
524 EARLY ROUND WAKE¬ 
FIELD. (Golden Acre.) This 
variety is fully as early as the 
extra early Wakefield and is 
just as good in every way, if 
not better. It is crisp, tender 
and sweet and forms a small, 
very solid head, doesn’t burst 
open and is very uniform. I 
claim it is better than Wake¬ 
field. Price: Pkt. 5c; 14 oz. 
18c; oz. 30c; 14 lb. 65c. 
Norseman 
Leads Them All 
Disease Resistant Cabbage 
523 MARION MARKET. Early. 
A yellow-resistant strain of Co¬ 
penhagen, which has all of the 
good points of that variety plus 
the resistance to disease. Price: 
Pkt. 5c; 14 oz. 20c; oz. 35c. 
526 WISCONSIN HOLLANDER. 
Late. If you once grow this va¬ 
riety, you’ll want it again. A 
strain of the famous Hollander, 
perhaps a, little larger and more 
leafy than the parent. Heads 
are round and somewhat flat but 
very solid and a good keeper. 
Practically 100% immune to 
“yellows.” Price: Pkt. 5c; y 2 oz. 
25c; oz. 40c; *4 lb. $1.25. 
Miscellaneous Cabbage 
533 RED ROCK. A sure crop¬ 
per, used for cooking, salads or 
pickling. Heads are very solid 
and red throughout. Perfectly 
round and solid as a rock. Price: 
Pkt. 10c; 14 oz. 20c; oz. 30c; 
14 lb. 90c. 
517 SAVOY. For fineness and 
delicate flavor, you’ll have to go 
some to beat this variety. The 
leaves are crumpled, giving it a 
different appearance. I think 
the quality is improved by a 
slight touch of frost. Heads 
are round and very solid. Ptice : 
Pkt. 5c; 14 oz. 10c; oz. 15c; *4 lb. 
50c. 
539 CHINESE CAB¬ 
BAGE PE TSAI. 
A great salad veg- 
etable that should 
be better known. 
Serve like let 
or celery or pre¬ 
pare like ordinary 
cabbage. Should 
be grown as an 
early spring or fall 
crop. I have best 
success when sow¬ 
ing seeds in the 
field the last part 
of July or first 
part of August. 
Heads are tall and 
leaves unfold to 
the interior of the 
plant of a creamy- 
white. It’s getting 
more popular all 
the time. Price: 
Pkt. 5c; % oz. 
12c; ounce, 20c.
