Italian Green Sprouting Broccoli 
A wonderful crop of Golden Acre Special 
Cabbage. It is a great satisfaction to pro¬ 
duce a field of such a uniform crop from 
seed such as you get from Holmes. 
Holmes - Houser Cabbage 
SFABGEL KOHL (Ger.) 
Broccoli 
CAVOLO BBOCOOLE (It.) 
One ounce will produce 5000 plants ; 3 ounces per acre. 
ITALIAN GREEN SPROUTING (Calabrese). This is a delicious 
vegetable. It somewhat resembles Cauliflower, but It is of a more 
delicate flavor. Preferred to cauliflower as it may be cut from early 
summer to late fall, as every new branch produces a head or sprout. 
The heads or sprouts, when ready to use are deep green and when 
cooked in the same manner as cauliflower are very tender and tasty. 
Broccoli is grown the same as cabbage or cauliflower. The strain we 
offer has been tested. Fkt., 10c; Vi oz., 30c; oz., 50c; Vi lb., $1.50; 
lb., $5.00. 
Brussels Sprouts 
BOSEHKOHL (Ger.) CAVOLO DI BRUSSELS (It.) 
One ounce will produce 2500 plants ; one-fourth pound will plant an acre. 
LONG ISLAND IMPROVED DWARF. (Special). This Is the same stock 
used by the professional Long Island growers. Plants of the Long 
Island Special do not grow very tall, but they are covered from the 
ground up with large sprouts. Do not get our Special Strain confused 
with the ordinary Long Island strain that is offered by many seeds¬ 
men. Fkt., 10c; oz., 25c; Vi lb., 75c; lb., $2.50. 
Cabbage 
KRAUT (Ger.) CAVOLO CAFUCCIO (It.) 
One ounce of seed produces about 4000 plants; 4 ounces 
enough plants to set an acre. 
GOLDEN ACRE. The earliest Cabbage. Matures a week ahead of Jer¬ 
sey Wakefield and ten days ahead of Copenhagen Market which it re¬ 
sembles in other respects. The heads are small to medium size, as 
round as a ball, and very firm. The plant is of dwarf, compact growth 
with but few leaves, permitting the plants to be set closely. Fkt., 10c; 
Vi oz., 20c; oz., 35c; Vi lb., $1.15; lb., $3.50. 
GOLDEN ACRE SPECIAL. This strain is most valuable for earli¬ 
ness and uniformity, and in quickness to reach maturity. It proved 
distinctly superior to other strains in maturing at same time. We rec¬ 
ommend it to growers who want the earliest and best. Fkt., 15c; 
Vi oz., 35c; oz., 60c; Vi lb., $1.75; lb., $6.00. 
GOLDEN ACRE (Disease-Resistant). This strain developed from 
Golden Acre. It is the same type as Golden Acre. We recommend 
planting it on soils slightly infested with yellows. Our strain had 
first ranking at the Marietta Trials 1937, competing with 28 other 
varieties. It is a uniform strain, maturing very early. Fkt., 15c; 
Vi oz., 40c; oz., 75c; Vi lb., $2.35; lb., $8.00. 
COPEHAGEN MARKET IMPROVED. This is really a wonder¬ 
ful Copenhagen Market as it follows the Golden Acre by about 10 days 
but is all of 20 per cent larger. It is practically its equal in uniformity 
and characteristics but does not mature entirely at one time as the 
Golden Acre. If both were planted on the same date, then by the time 
the Golden Acre offers 80 to 90 per cent marketable heads, the Im¬ 
proved Copenhagen will have 10 per cent of the heads hard enough 
to market. In another week 50 per cent more will have reached the 
marketable state. Fkt., 10c; Vi oz., 20c; oz., 30c; Vi lb., 85c; lb., $2.75. 
EARLY JERSEY WAKEFIELD. A standard early sort with pointed 
heads. Heads are of a fair size and very compact. Our strain is very 
early; practically all the plants produce heads of the correct shape 
and mature almost at the same time. Fkt., 5c; Vi oz., 20c; oz., 30c; 
Vi lb., 75c; lb., $2.50. 
GLORY OF ENKHUIZEN. Heads large in size, round, solid, uniform 
in shape and maturity, of very good quality. The heads will range 
from 6 to 7 pounds in weight. This variety is popular for market and 
home use. One of the most desirable varieties for kraut. We offer a 
very fine strain of this Cabbage—none better. Fkt., 10c; Vi oz., 15c; 
oz., 25c; Vi lb., 70c; lb., $2.25. 
HOLMES-HOUSER. Latest Cabbage of Them All. Introduced by H. 
L. Holmes in 1897. Its wonderful quality, extremely small heart, and 
fine ribs are features not found in any other Cabbage. The shape is 
round and deep, developing a very slight oval shape at the top (see 
illustration). In solidity it is as hard as the Danish Ballhead, com¬ 
pact in habit of growth. It is a strong, vigorous grower, with ability 
to resist disease (yellows). Fkt., 10c; Vi oz., 30c; oz., 50c; Vi lb., $1.50; 
lb., $5.00. 
WISCONSIN ALL SEASON. (Yellows resistant). Very valuable in 
localities infested with the disease known as "cabbage yellows.” Used 
for kraut, also valuable for winter keeping. Heads large, 10 to 12 
Inches across, 8 inches deep and weigh 9 to 10 lbs. Fkt., 10c; Vi oz., 
20c; oz., 35c; Vi lb., $1.00; lb., $3.00.
