HARRIS’ BALLHEAD 
The Outstanding 
Danish Cabbage 
We have yet to see a stock of Danish 
Cabbage which is superior to Harris’ 
Ballhead. 
The heads are very uniform, ex¬ 
tremely solid and just the right size for 
market and shipping. They average about 
six lbs. in weight. The vigor and great 
uniformity of this strain year in and year 
out make it the most consistent heavy 
yielder of fine cabbage and in addition it 
has proved to be a very superior keeper 
coming out of storage in excellent shape. 
The heads are greener than most 
Danish cabbage with a slight purple tinge. 
Because of the attractive appearance, 
uniform size and firmness, this cabbage 
commands the best prices and often sells 
readily when the market is slow. If you 
want good Danish cabbage, grow Harris’ 
Ballhead. See prices below.

Late or Main Crop Varieties 
ALL SEASONS. The Best “Domestic” cabbage. 
We recommend this strain for growers who want the best in yield and type of the large 
flat “domestic” cabbages. This cabbage is popular for “kraut” in many sections. 
BUGNER. Yellows Resistant. 
Because it is yellows resistant, this old variety is becoming more in demand. It is later 
than Danish Ballhead, and has larger and more flattened heads. A very heavy producer. 
DANISH BALLHEAD. Intermediate. “Fine Keeper”. 
Heads are deeper and not as flattened as the short stemmed. The color is deeper green 
and they keep very well in storage. A profitable type to raise. 
DANISH BALLHEAD. Short Stem. Heavy yielding strain. 
This is a very fine strain producing large yields of uniform heads which are medium 
large, solid and of good color. An excellent variety for storage.
