Ross 1 Better Cabbage 
An ounce will produce about 3000 plants. 
Cabbage will thrive on any good garden soil but is 
more successfully grown on deep, strong loam, and new 
soil is much preferable, as on old land the roots are more 
liable to be affected by the disease called club-root 
Especially should land be avoided upon which, within 
two years, cabbage, cauliflower, turnips or radishes have 
been grown. 
For the earliest crop, seed is usually sown in February 
or March in hotbeds with only moderate bottom heat, 
and the plants hardened by gradually exposing them to 
the night air and transplanted as early as the ground is 
in suitable condition. 
Yellows-Resistant Cabbage 
The term, "Yellows-Resistant" Cabbage seed, does 
not necessarily imply that this seed is to be planted only 
in soil infested with the Yellows or Wilt. Our Resistant 
seed has a very high germination test, and produces a 
hardier plant, a surer producer and yields greater ton¬ 
nage than ordinary commercial strains.

The best early Cabbage. 
The earliest large, round-headed Cabbage yet intro¬ 
duced. Matures 68 days after transplanting. It is a very 
sure heading and uniform variety of hardy and compact 
growth. The heads are 7 or 8 inches in diameter and 
weigh 3 or 4 pounds. The variety is solid, sweet, crisp 
and tender. A most excellent sort for the home garden.

Danish 
Ballhead 
DANISH BALLHEAD. This is now the most popular main 
crop variety for market, due to its remarkable solidity, 
weight, uniformity in size, fine keeping qualities and 
attractive round head. It is especially valuable for 
shipping to distant markets and for late spring use. 
Though the heads are but of medium size, owing to 
their great weight the product of an acre exceeds in 
weight that of any other variety. We offer a strain 
of seed which has been proved by repeated trials to 
be unsurpassed. Pkt., 10c; Vz oz., 20c; oz., 35c; 
Va lb., $1.00. 
DANISH ROUNDHEAD. Makes a little earlier than the 
Danish Ballhead. The heads are nearly round and
