Kraut (Ger.) 
CABBAGE 
Cavolo capucci (It.) 
One ounce of seed will produce 1500 to 2 000 plants sown in open ground, or 3000 if sown in frames;• 
a packet about 250 plants. It requires 4 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. 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. 
Hot Water Treated Seed 
We can supply hot water treated seed of the varieties of cabbage listed in this catalog 
if ordered in quantities of one ounce or more, at no advance in cost. Hot water treated 
seed is usually a little lower in germination. 
We will supply untreated seed in all orders unless treated seed is specifically requested.

Early and Medium Early Varieties 
GOLDEN ACRE. The Earliest Cabbage. This is the strain of Golden 
-1 Acre which we have sold for years and is superior 
in uniformity of type and earliness to many stocks that are sold at a much higher 
price. 
Golden Acre is not only the earliest cabbage, but all the heads mature at about 
the same time. In our many trials and our customers fields it has headed a week 
earlier than Jersey Wakefield and two weeks earlier than Copenhagen Market. 
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. Practically every plant makes a perfect head. 
Owing to its earliness, uniformity, fine quality and appearance, this cabbage 
has proved to be the most profitable market variety for the early crop.

mend it to growers who want only the best.

COPENHAGEN MARKET. True Large Heading Strain. This 
early round head cabbage is 10 days to two weeks 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 coarse¬ 
ness. Our stock not only makes uniform hard heads, but is larger than 
most other stocks of this variety. 
Pkt. 10c: Oz. 35c; M Lb. $1.00; Lb. $3.25. 
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 Copenhagen Market in shape and mature a little later. This 
is an unusually uniform and true stock of this variety. 
Pkt. 10c; Oz. 60c; M Lb. $1.90; Lb. $6.50. 
Golden Acre Cabbage 
Solid bright green heads. Very early. 
ENKHUIZEN GLORY. Originator’s Strain. This cabbage has 
proved to be one of the best and 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 originator’s stock and has been found extremely 
satisfactory by our customers. 
Pkt. 10c; Oz. 25c; Lb. 75c; Lb. $2.50. 
Early Jersey Wakefield. The standard early cabbage' with pointed 
heads. The heads are very compact and of excellent quality. 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. 45c; M Lb. $1.20; Lb. $4.00. 
LARGE LATE COPENHAGEN. 
Fine Kraut Cab¬ 
bage. 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 remarkable variety grows round and hard almost as early as 
regular Copenhagen Market and then continues 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, Superior Quality. Th is cabbage is of such 
superior quality to ordinary cabbage that there is no comparison. 
Sleaford Market is as 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 rather early, are of medium size, pointed and do not 
get very hard. On account of its superb quality we particularly recom¬ 
mend this cabbage for the home garden. 
Pkt. 10c: Oz. 50c: Lb. $1.25. 
Large Late Copenhagen Cabbage 
This typical head is nearly a foot in diameter.

We sell both properly hardened greenhouse grown plants for early 
and field grown plants for later planting. See page 82 for varieties 
and prices.
