Harris* Special Strains of Danish Cabbage 
There seems to be no “best” type of Danish cabbage for all places and all conditions. There are 
numerous strains of merit that differ in some particulars or are suited to particular climates, types 
of soil or markets. The thing to do is to find out which type is best suited to your conditions and 
grow that kind. 
The strains we have listed here are the best in their respective classes and are offered by us after 
careful observation in our own trial grounds and in our customers’ fields. We firmly believe that there 
can be no better Danish cabbage sold than these varieties which we offer no matter how much is charged 
for the seed. __ 
HARRIS BALLHEAD. This strain is the most uniform stock of Danish cabbage we 
—.-know. We have bred this stock on our own farm for a num¬ 
ber of years, paying particular attention to uniformity and solidity of the head. The heads are 
very hard and deeper than most stocks of Danish cabbage and will produce a very large tonnage 
of line cabbage. The heads are also greener than most strains and keep exceptionally well in 
storage. You will be pleased with this fine strain. 
Pkt. 10c; Oz. 50c; J4 Lb. $1.35; Lb. $4.50. 
DANISH BALLHEAD Short Stem. Also 
called “Danish Roundhead.” The heads are 
large, very solid, more flattened than Harris’ 
Ballhead, and of good deep green color. Our 
stock of this variety is very uniform and heavy 
yielding, practically every plant making a 
good firm head. 
Pkt. 10c; Oz. 30c; M Lb. 90c; Lb. $3.00. 
PENN STATE BALLHEAD. True Uniform 
Stock. This excellent variety was originated 
by Dr. Meyers of the Pennsylvania State Col¬ 
lege and has found favor in many cabbage 
growing sections. It is a short stem variety, 
with heads of medium size, inclined to be flat 
but very hard and an attractive bright green 
color. This cabbage will produce a large ton¬ 
nage per acre and keeps well in storage. We 
strongly recommend this variety for growers 
who prefer a Danish cabbage of the flat type. 
In our trials and in our customers fields our 
stock has proved to be very uniform and true 
to type. 
Pkt. 10c; Oz. 40c; M Lb. $1.10; Lb. $3.50. 
DANISH BALLHEAD Intermediate. This 
strain produces heads that are larger and not 
so much flattened as the Short Stem. They 
are very solid, and deep green and have a 
reputation for keeping exceptionally well in 
storage. 
Pkt. 10c; Oz. 35c; M Lb. $1.00; Lb. $3.25. 
Wisconsin HOLLANDER. “Yellows” Re¬ 
sistant. Will grow and produce good Danish 
cabbage on land that is so diseased with 
“Yellows” that other cabbage fails entirely. 
The heads are as round as a ball and very deep 
green with a purple or bluish tint on the edges. 
The plants are of strong, healthy growth with 
short stems, very hardy, and produce heads of 
uniform type. We recommend this variety for 
growing in sections where “Yellows” is 
prevalent. 
Pkt. 10c; Oz. 50c; K Lb. $1.30; Lb. $4.25.

Perfection Drumhead Savoy 
You don't know "quality" until you have eaten this cabbage. 
Red Cabbage 
Red cabbage is always in demand and it usually sells for more in the 
markets than white cabbage. If really good seed is used there is no reason 
why Red cabbage should not yield nearly as much as Danish Ballhead 
and prove much more profitable. 
MAMMOTH ROCK RED. The largest red. This is the largest of the 
red varieties. The seed we offer will produce large, solid heads of dark 
red color. This is a high yielding strain practically every plant produc¬ 
ing a good head under favorable conditions. 
Pkt, 10c; Oz. 40c; M Lb. $1.15; Lb. $3.75. 
EARLY ROUND RED. (NEW.) The Earliest Red. Noted for its 
earliness and uniform manner of heading. See page 5. 
Pkt. 15c; Oz. 90c; % Lb. $3.00. 
Savoy Cabbage 
PERFECTION DRUMHEAD. 
Grow for fine quality. This 
fine cabbage should have a 
place in every home garden as it is of so much finer quality than 
ordinary cabbage and most attractive in appearance. The heads are 
firm, bright green all through while the leaves are dark green and very 
much blistered. The quality is much superior to common cabbage 
especially when cooked. If you have not eaten Savoy cabbage you have 
no idea what fine cabbage tastes like. 
Growers for market and roadside stands can depend on Harris’ 
Perfection Drumhead for a sure heading strain of the right type. 
Pkt. 10c; Oz. 35c; Lb. $1.00; Lb. $3.25.
