Everybody everywhere is loud in praise of Penn State Ballhead Cabbage 
PENN STATE Ballhead Cabbage 
This very excellent late Cabbage, developed 
by Dr. C. E. Myers, Professor of Plant Breed¬ 
ing at our Pennsylvania State College, pro¬ 
duces the nearest to 100 per cent marketable 
heads of any late Cabbage we know. Each 
year, under Dr. Myers’ own personal super¬ 
vision, is produced the stock-seed from which 
our seed is then produced. 
Only those with a knowledge of the inten¬ 
sive, expert breeding-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 
compared with the average of 10 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.

Ik/ipODT A KIT I Only the original seed of Penn State Ball- 
r ^ ~ ‘ head Cabbage, grown directly from Dr. 
Myers’ stock seed, contains the label opposite. It is your 
guarantee of the true State College Strain of the latest improved 
crop from Dr. Myers’ latest improved stock seed. Send your order 
to Schell’s for official seed, sealed. 
Good News and Bad News! Fortunately, we have a fair 
supply of Dr. Myers’ Penn State Cabbage seed produced in 1937. 
This is good news; yet, even though we expected a very large 
crop to supply the ever-increasing demand for this excellent 
Cabbage, we obtained only 40 per cent of a normal crop, due to 
unfavorable conditions. Therefore, it is important that you get 
your order in early to avoid disappointment.
