THEY GROW BETTER • THEY YIELD BETTER 
PEININ STATE Ballhead Cabbage 
This very excellent late Cabbage, developed by Dr. C. E. 
Myers, Professor of Plant Breeding at our Pennsylvania State 
College, produces the nearest to ioo per cent marketable heads 
of any late Cabbage we know. Each year, under Dr. Myers’ own 
personal supervision, is produced the stock-seed from which our 
seed is then produced. 
Only those with a knowledge of the intensive, expert breed¬ 
ing-work carried on by Dr. Myers for many years past, as well 
as at this present time, can appreciate the true value of this 
thoroughbred strain of late Ballhead Cabbage. Is it any wonder 
then that it has yielded as much as 23.8 tons per acre, as com¬ 
pared with the average of io tons per acre of other varieties. 
Penn State Ballhead will mean a big crop of quality Cabbage to 
everyone who grows it. Pkt. 10 cts.; 3 pkts. 25 cts.; V^oz. 45 cts.; 
oz. 75 cts.; y 4 lb. $2.25; V 2 lb. $4; lb. $8; 2 lbs. at $7.75 per lb.; 
5 lbs. at $7.50 per lb.; 10 lbs. at $7.25 per lb., postpaid. 
SEED CHOP ENTIRE FAILURE. The seed crop of Penn State Ballhead, produced directly from stock-seed 
bred on the College farm by Dr. Myers, was a complete failure as the result of very destructive weather conditions. 
We have a few hundred ounces and packets carried from the previous year’s crop. These test very high and we 
will supply them as long as they last to the first orders received. They will have the official seal on them. 
Fortunately for our customers, we knew of a very excellent crop of seed being grown in Denmark from second- 
generation seed of Penn State Ballhead, and we purchased this entire crop for your benefit. Knowing it is the 
genuine Penn State of very fine quality, we can recommend it highly to you. 
(Next year we will again have Dr. Myers’ first-generation seed.)

Our good friends, Gilleland Bros., Pa., write 
us: “We had 108 tons of very nice solid Penn State 
Cabbage, averaging 14 tons per acre. We sold to 
30 stores with not one complaint, and all said it was 
the best they had ever handled. We have tried the 
rest, but are now buying the best.” 
OTHER LATE VARIETIES OF CABBAGE

- of the best late Cab¬ 
bages in cultivation. The heads are medium large, ex¬ 
tremely hard, solid, fine-grained, and of the most excel¬

bages. For keeping it is unexcelled. The heads are in 
shape between a globe and a flat, or more a half-globe.

Hnuser ® ne the most popular late varieties. 
-- Houser Cabbage has a large head, “solid 
as a rock,” and seldom “cracks,” except at the stem 
end. The heart is unusually small, a valuable fea¬ 
ture, and the entire head is finely grained and free 
from the coarse ribs found in some varieties. The heads 
are round, sometimes developing a very slight dull 
point or oval shape at the top. Its keeping qualities 
are remarkable. The heads average 10 to 12 pounds.
