ISBELL’S CABBAGE SEED 
The fundamental principle to success in growing: any seed crop ig 
explained in the one word “Selection.” Without it one cannot obtain 
seed stock true to type that will produce the dependable and uni¬ 
form quality of seed which our trade requires. 
This applies perhaps more forcibly to Cabbage culture than to 
any other crop. 
Isbell seed stock lias been carefully selected and then is sown for 
the seed cron where the climatic and soil conditions are perfect, in 
the Puget Sound country of Washington, in Denmark, and elsewhere. 
Our Cabbage seed is certain to grow well, certain to produce 
hard, long keeping heads and certain to be disease resistant.

After many years of breeding work, our Danish grower 
has developed an extra early round-head Cabbage that we 
consider the very best early sort for market and the home 
garden. Fine large heads of nearly globe shape and great 
uniformity to type. Every head in the field is of the same 
size and matures at the same time. The plants are of 
compact growth, the heads very firm and heavy, averaging 
about S pounds in weight. It is the best keeper of the 
early sorts. Isbell’s 1937 Early Cabbage is fully as early 
as the Wakefield types and the heads are much larger. 
For the market gardener this variety 
is a real money-maker and will bring 
repeat business on account of the 
superior quality. Pkt., 10c; oz., 30c; 
% lb., $1.00; lb., $3.50, prepaid.

Has given wonderful satisfaction, 
producing a normal crop on yel¬ 
low-infected soils where the non- 
resistant strains failed almost en¬ 
tirely. Highly recommended to 
the Cabbage grower for market 
and is equally as good for the home 
garden. If you have experienced 
trouble growing good cabbage ow¬ 
ing to yellows disease, try this 
variety for better results. Pkt., 
10 c; oz., 50c; *4 lb., $1.50; lb., 
$5.50, prepaid.
