Italian Green Sprouting Broccoli 
Yellows-Resistanfc Cabbage 
Seed 
Both varieties listed below are the result of 
special breeding against Yellows or Wilt Dis¬ 
ease, an infection frequently attributed to hot 
or dry weather. Our stock seed is selected rig¬ 
idly and continuously for type and resistance. 
We offer only first generation seed from such 
stock. 
62 MARION MARKET. Highly resistant to 
yellows ; round head, short stem, will permit 
close planting. Earliest of all yellows-resist- 
ant varieties selected from Copenhagen Mar¬ 
ket. 
Fkt., 10c; oz., 60c; V4 lb., $1.75. 
63 YELLOWS-RESISTANT HOLLAN¬ 
DER. This is a strain of Hollander or Dan¬ 
ish Ballhead. A heavy yielding, round head, 
late type. 
Fkt., 10c; oz., 50c; V4 lb., $1.25. 
First Early Sorts 
64 GOLDEN ACRE. This is an early, round- 
headed Cabbage which closely resembles Co¬ 
penhagen Market in type. As its name im¬ 
plies, it is a money-maker. It is 8 to 10 days 
earlier than Copenhagen Market but is small¬ 
er and can be planted closer. Because of its 
earliness and fine quality it commands a 
higher price than any round-headed Cabbage. 
Pkt., 5c; oz., 35c; *4 lb., $1.00. 
65 EARLY JERSEY WAKEFIELD. One 
of the earliest and by far the surest heading 
of first early Cabbages. Most gardeners de¬ 
pend upon it entirely for their extra early 
crop. It is exceedingly hardy, resists cold and 
unfavorable conditions and is the most likely 
to yield satisfactory results. Plants are com¬ 
pact, with erect conical heads and few outer 
leaves. Stems short; heads of medium size, 
very solid and of excellent quality. 
Fkt., 5c; oz., 35c; V4 lb., $1.00. 
66 EARLY WINNINGSTADT. One of the 
best conical or sharp heading sorts which is 
compact and of excellent quality. Quick ma¬ 
turing. It is the hardiest not only as regards 
frost but will suffer less from excessive wet, 
drought, insects, or disease than any other 
sort of its class. 
Fkt., 5c; oz., 30c; 14 lb., 90c. 
68 COPENHAGEN MARKET. The earliest 
round-head or flat Cabbage yet introduced. 
The heads are exceptionally large and it has 
a very short stem and few outer leaves—a 
most excellent sort for home gardens and 
market gardeners. On account of extreme 
earliness, it is destined to become one of the 
leading sorts grown, as a flat Cabbage fills 
barrels or crates faster than sharp head Cab¬ 
bage and will yield the grower more returns. 
We predict for Copenhagen Market an ex¬ 
tensive cultivation. Our stock is from one of 
the best Denmark growers. 
Fkt., 5c; oz., 30c; *4 lb., 90c. 
Red Cabbage 
82 MAMMOTH ROCK RED. A variety 
used mainly for pickles and sauerkraut. It is 
highly esteem d 
Fkt., 5c; oz., 35c; V4 lb., $1.00. 
Broccoli 
60 ITALIAN GREEN SPROUTING (Cal¬ 
abrese). The truest heading strain. A 
packet will produce about 200 plants ; an 
ounce about, 2000. Broccoli is grown the 
same as cabbage or cauliflower. Simply sow 
the seed in the open ground in May and 
transplant the plants when large enough. 
Plant forms a large, solid head which remains 
green. When the central head is cut, numer¬ 
ous sprouts develop from the leaf axils, each 
sprout terminating in small, green heads. 
A popular delicacy for the entire family. 
Pkt., 10c; oz., 40c. 
Culture. For earliest plants the seed is 
sown in hotbeds from January to March. To 
make the best plants, sow early and transplant 
to cold frames. Then at the end of March or 
the first of April transplant to the garden. 
One ounce makes about 2000 good plants. 
Six ounces make plants enough for 1 acre. 
For summer use, sow in the open ground in 
April and for late use, sow in May or June. 
There is no crop that repays so well, heavy fer¬ 
tilization and constant cultivation. When plants 
are planted in the field, apply sheep manure 
either in drills or around the plant, mixing with 
the soil. To raise the best crops of Cabbage, it 
is of the utmost importance that select seed 
stock be used. The varieties we list are saved 
from the very best stocks and will give excellent 
satisfaction. We particularly call attention to 
Copenhagen Market and Premium Late Flat 
Dutch, as being the leading sorts of the types. 
All home gardens should plant some Savoy Cab¬ 
bage, as it is so much more delicious in flavor 
than the ordinary sorts. 
One ounce for 2,000 plants. 
Second Early Varieties 
72 ALL SEASONS. One of the largest and 
a thoroughly satisfactory second early sort. 
. Plants are vigorous, sure heading; leaves 
large and smooth. This is a first class sort 
both for early and late planting and is espe¬ 
cially adapted for kraut. It is well adapted 
to stand the hot sun and adverse conditions. 
Pkt., 5c; oz., 25c; *4 lb., 75c. 
73 EARLY DWARF FLAT DUTCH. A 
variety which has long been popular among 
growers, both for home use and markets. 
The heads are borne on short stems and are 
very large, solid, and nearly flat on top. 
Practically every plant will form a good, 
solid head which will mature earlier than 
Late Flat Dutch. 
Fkt., 5c; oz., 25c; 14 lb., 75c. 
74 EARLY SUMMER. An excellent second 
early Cabbage, which is a vigorous, strong 
grower, producing moderately large heads. 
It has rather spreading outer leaves, which 
are somewhat frilled and the stem rather 
short. The heads are round, solid and a trifle 
earlier than other summer sorts, and in ad¬ 
dition will stand longer without bursting 
than most others. 
Pkt., 5c; oz., 25c; y A lb., 75c. 
75 ALLHEAD EARLY. As early as most 
of the early summer Cabbages ; the deep, flat 
heads are extremely solid and uniform in 
color, shape, and size. Splendid for kraut 
making. 
Fkt., 5c; oz., 25c; 14 lb., 75c. 
Golden Acre Cabbage 
Brussels Sprouts 
ROSENKOHL (Ger.) 
CAVALO DI BRUSSELS (It.) 
One ounce makes about 2000 good plants. 
A vegetable of the cabbage family which is 
largely used in the fall. It should be more 
largely grown in home gardens. It produces 
stalks about 2 feet high, which are covered with 
small heads resembling miniature cabbage. 
These are cooked and served like cabbage and 
are very tender and delicious. 
Culture. Same as for late cabbage, but 
plants are set closer together. 
61 PERFECTION. A semi-dwarf variety 
and one of the best. Pkt., 10c; oz., 25c. 
Late Varieties 
77 PREMIUM LATE FLAT DUTCH. A 
very superior strain of this well-known, pop¬ 
ular Cabbage which is exceptionally reliable 
for main crop planting. It is short stemmed; 
has rather large early leaves, very showy 
heads and produces uniformly large, flat, 
deep, solid heads of splendid quality. It is an 
excellent keeper and can be relied upon as 
thoroughly satisfactory. 
Fkt., 5c; oz., 25c; 14 lb., 75c. 
78 LARGE LATE DRUMHEAD. One of 
the oldest and most popular of late sorts, 
producing large, rounded heads. It has been 
grown for many years and ours is an im¬ 
proved stock. The heads are somewhat more 
globe-shaped than the Late Flat Dutch. 
Leaves large, loose, spreading. An excellent 
keeper. 
Fkt., 5c; oz., 25c; V4 lb., 75c. 
79 DANISH BALLHEAD or HOLLAN¬ 
DER. It produces very large, solid heads, 
which are globular in shape, has few but 
rather large, thick, bluish green leaves. 
Heads are borne on short stems, are of me¬ 
dium size, round, very solid and stand ship¬ 
ment better than any other late sort. It is 
one of the very best keepers and is much 
desired for kraut. Our stock is Denmark 
grown and very select. 
Fkt., 5c; oz., 35c; y^ lb., $1.00. 
81 AMERICAN PERFECTION DRUM¬ 
HEAD SAVOY. Too little attention is paid 
to the Savoy Cabbage in this locality, as for 
home gardens it is unquestionably the most 
desired of all Cabbages. It is used almost 
entirely for late planting and attains its 
greatest perfection in flavor after frost, when 
it becomes as tender and even more delicious 
than cauliflower. The heads are of medium 
size, borne on short stems, and not as large 
as the ordinary late Cabbage, hence will 
stand closer planting. Our stock of this is 
American grown and will produce uniformly 
large heads for this variety. We strongly 
recommend it to be more extensively grown 
both for home use and market. 
Pkt., 5c; oz., 30c; lb., 90c. 
Chinese Cabbage 
Also called “Celery Cabbage.” 
An ounce of seed will sow 40 to 50 feet of 
row, a packet 3 feet. 
This vegetable of the cabbage family has be¬ 
come extremely popular. The large mid-ribs of 
the leaves are perfectly white and very crisp 
and tender. It is excellent when used as a salad, 
being of a very delicate flavor slightly resem¬ 
bling raw cabbage but more delicious. It is so 
easily raised that everyone who has a garden 
should enjoy it. 
The seed should be sown not earlier than the 
first of July in rows 2% feet apart, and the 
plants thinned 18 to 20 inches apart in the 
rows. If sown early it soon runs to seed and is 
useless. The crop matures in 8 to 10 weeks. 
83 CHIHLI. This is the earliest variety of 
Chinese Cabbage and heads more evenly than 
any other kind. The heads are pointed, very 
firm, and when matured are often 18 inches 
long, blanched pure white inside and are of 
very fine quality. Chihli is rapidly super¬ 
seding the older varieties, as ihe attractive 
heads sell readily, making this a very profit¬ 
able crop to grow. Our strain of Chihli is 
very uniform.
