VicK’s Improved Danish Ballhead 
Of the many varieties of Cabbage introduced within the past fifteen years none 
has attained to so great popularity, or given such general satisfaction as Vick’s 
Improved Danish Ballhead. The fame of this particular strain has become world¬ 
wide, and it stands without a peer. It commands a higher price in the market 
than any other variety. It is remarkable for the solidity of its heads and long- 
keeping qualities. The heads are of medium size, with few' outer leaves, admitting 
of close planting; exceedingly fine-grained, hardiest of all, tender, crisp, solid, 
with no waste heart. Will average six pounds per head. Do not be deceived by 
substitutes. There is only one Improved Danish Ballhead Cabbage, and this we 
import direct from our original grower in Denmark. Packet, 5 cents ; y oz., 
10 cents ; oz., 30 cents ; lb., $3.00.
