Kraut (Ger.) CABBAGE Cavolo capucci (It.) 
One ounce of seed will produce 1500 to 2000 plants sown in open ground, or 3000 if sown in frames; 
a packet about 250 plants. It requires U to 6 ounces of seed to produce plants for an acre of ground. 
Methods of Culture. To get very early cabbage in the Northern 
states the seed should be sown in hot-beds in February or March, or 
about six weeks before the ground outside is ready to receive the plants. 
For the home garden it is often more satisfactory to buy a few dozen 
plants for early cabbage. See page 82. For medium early crop, the seed 
of early kinds like Copenhagen Market or Golden Acre may be sown in the 
open ground as early as possible and the plants transplanted as soon as 
large enough. They will give cabbage ready for use in August if the land 
is rich and well cultivated. For the late crop the seed should be sown in 
the Northern states about May 20, and the plants set out July 1. Early 
varieties may be sown as late as June 10, and will mature a good crop. 
Hot Water Treated Seed 
We can supply hot water treated seed of the varieties of cabbage 
listed in this catalog if ordered in quantities of one ounce or more, 
at no advance in cost. Hot water treated seed is usually a little 
lower in germination. We will supply untreated seed in all orders 
unless treated seed is specifically requested. 
Early and Medium Early Varieties 
QQ[_[)E|s| ACRE. The Ear,iest Cabbage. This well known 
-1 variety is not only the earliest cabbage we 
know but it is so uniform that practically every plant makes a perfect 
head. It often heads a week earlier than Early Jersey Wakefield and 
two weeks earlier than Copenhagen Market. 
The heads are of fine quality round as a ball, medium size (4-5 lbs.) 
and very firm. The plants are of neat compact growth so that they 
may be set close together. Since its introduction commercial growers 
have recognized this as the most profitable early market variety and 
home gardeners are always proud of their rows of Golden Acre. 
This is the same superior strain of Golden Acre which we have sold 
for years. Growers find it superior in uniformity of type and earliness 
to stocks that are sold at a much higher price.

GOLDEN ACRE SPECIAL. This specially selected strain of the above 
is the earliest and most uniform stock of cabbage. We recommend it 
to growers who want only the best. 
Pkt. 15c; Oz. 65c; )4 Lb. $1.95; Lb. $6.75. 
GOLDEN ACRE Yellows Resistant. True to type and earliness and 
in addition will produce good crops on diseased soil where regular 
Golden Acre cannot do well. 
Pkt. 10c; Oz. 55c; Lb. $1.55; Lb. $5.25. 
ACRE (New.) The most remarkable thing about this 
-- new variety is the green color which goes all 
through the heads and gives them a fresh bright appearance at all 
times. They are of fine quality, and particularly attractive for salad. 
The heads resemble the famous Golden Acre but are larger, greener 
and in our trials have matured a few days later. They are very solid 
and stand better than most early kinds without splitting. The plants 
are short and very compact so they can be planted close together. We 
have never seen a more uniform stock. This is an extraordinary fine 
variety for the home garden as well as for commercial planting.

Yellows Resistant Copenhagen Market 
Every plant is just alike. 
COPENHAGEN MARKET. Yellows Resistant. 
Special Strain. This variety will grow and mature good early round 
heads on land so diseased with “yellows” that other cabbage fails 
entirely. The heads are very uniform; of true Copenhagen Market 
type and they mature only a little later. 
We are pleased to offer this new strain of Resistant Copenhagen 
Market which we consider a real achievement in Cabbage breeding. 
This strain is not only resistant to yellows but is the most uniform and 
true to type strain of resistant cabbage we know. 
Pkt. 10c; Oz. 55c; M Lb. $1.55; Lb. $5.25. 
MARION MARKET. Yellows Resistant Copenhagen Type. The 
heads resemble Copenhagen Market in shape and will grow and ma¬ 
ture good early round heads on land so diseased with “yellows” that 
other cabbage fails. This is an unusually uniform and true stock of 
this variety. Matures a little later than Copenhagen Market. 
Pkt. 10c; Oz. 50c. Lb. $1.30; Lb. $4.25. 
Early Jersey Wakefield. The standard early cabbage with pointed 
heads. The heads are very compact and of excellent quality. Our 
strain is very early and practically all the plants produce heads of the 
correct shape and they mature almost at the same time. 
Pkt. 10c; Oz. 35c; Lb. $1.00; Lb. $3.25. 
COPENHAGEN MARKET. True Large Heading Strain. This 
variety has long been a favorite for home, market and kraut, and in 
fact wherever early cabbage is grown. The seed we offer is the true 
large heading strain which is so popular among particular growers. 
The heads are larger than Golden Acre and mature about 10 days 
later. They are firm, round and grow on compact plants, which are so 
even that practically every plant makes a good head. It has proved 
a profitable cabbage for market and excellent for the home garden. 
Copenhagen Market is largely grown for kraut and is excellent for 
this purpose, the heads being of fine quality, tender and without 
coarseness.

LARGE LATE COPENHAGEN. Ca *- 
-- — - -— — bage. 1 his remark¬ 
able large strain of Copenhagen Market has proved an outstanding 
cabbage to grow for market and kraut. 
It becomes round and hard almost as early as regular Copenhagen 
Market and then continues to grow without splitting or getting soft, 
producing fine large solid heads ten to twelve inches in diameter that 
can be cut in the fall for kraut. When fully grown they will stand a 
long time without splitting and are so uniform that every plant pro¬ 
duces a big hard solid head. 
If you are looking for heavy tonnage combined with fine hard heads 
of superior quality, grow some Large Late Copenhagen. 
Pkt. 10c; Oz. 35c; M Lb. $1.00; Lb. $3.25. 
SLEAFORD MARKET, Superior Quality. This cabbage is so superior 
for flavor to ordinary cabbage that there is no comparison. Sleaford 
Market is as delicate in flavor as Brussels Sprouts. If you never have 
eaten cabbage of this type you have a treat in store for you. The 
beads mature rather early, are of medium size, pointed and do not get 
very hard. On account of its superb quality we particularly recom¬ 
mend this cabbage for the home garden.
