DANISH BALL-HEAD or 
HOLLAND CABBAGE. 
T HIS type of winter Cabbage has become very popular of late 
years on account of its unequalled keeping qualities as well 
as for the great solidity and weight of the heads; it is strong 
and vigorous in growth, a little “leggy” but producing large, 
round, compact heads exceedingly hard ahd solid, weighing, when 
trimmed, fully one-fourth more than any other Cabbage of equal 
size; in consequence, it keeps in fine condition until spring. For 
boiling, slaw, sauerkraut, etc., it is unsurpassed, being crisp, tender 
and sweet. It seems to grow luxuriantly on all 
soils and under most conditions, withstanding 
hot, dry weather, and does not rot from the 
effects of wet seasons, and the heads do not burst. 
Our strain of Danish Ball-head Cabbage yields a 
larger number of solid heads than any other va¬ 
riety. This is the testimony of almost every large 
grower of winter Cabbage. (See Cut.) 
“ The Holland Cabbage Seed from you last year was the best 
I ever planted , yielding at the rate of 20 tons to the acre." 
E. A. BENNETT. Williamson, N.Y. 
“Your Danish Ball-Head Cabbage was fine last season. 
The best I ever grew." HARRY WIESEHAN, Peoria, III. 
T HIS peerless variety was introduced bv us, 
and we can say without hesitation that it is 
the finest late Cabbage in this country to-day, 
entirely distinct, and the best keeper; it produces 
enormous solid heads of that desirable dull green 
shade. It has such small outer leaves that it can 
be planted closer than the ordinary late sorts; for 
this teason it can be relied upon to produce a 
greater weight per acre than any other variety. 
A distinctive feature of the Autumn King is the 
peculiarly crimped leaves, which not only add to 
its appearance, but enable it to be distinguished 
anywhere. But, however good a variety may be 
_ at its introduction, it is of paramount importance 
that improvement in purity be steadily main¬ 
tained. To this end we have for many years worked 
most assiduously on our stock of this valuable va¬ 
riety, and it is only fair to say that our stock as it is 
sold to-day is more of a “King” than ever. 
It has successfully stood the most severe of all tests, 
the competition of the market stand, and is prized and 
relied on by prominent growers in all sections of the 
country. ( See cut.)
