CABBAGE—Continued.

solid and firm, and their keeping qualities are unequalled. Our seed

periment Station. See page 3.

growing sections as a late fall or winter variety, making large and 
much flattened heads of remarkable solidity. They keep well through¬ 
out the winter. Fkt., 10c; y a oz., 20c; oz., 30c; V4 lb., 70c; lb., $2.00.

winter because of its solid hard head and excellent keeping qualities. 
It has a distinctly larger and heavier head than Special Hollander.

per head 6 y a pounds. We recommend Danish Ballhead Short Stem to

Cabbage for storage, shipment and kraut manufacture on land infested 
so badly with the “yellows” disease that other varieties failed com¬ 
pletely. Heads large, globular, very firm. Keeps well until spring. 
Pkt., 10c; y a oz., 20c; oz., 35c; % lb., $1.10; lb., $3.50.

to its remarkable surety to head. Heads are uniform, hardy, fine in 
texture, of a large, flattened shape, sweetly flavored, with few loose 
leaves. Fkt., 5c; % oz., 20c; oz., 30c; % lb., 70c; lb., $2.00. 
IUFBOTED AMERICAN SAVOY. Here is a Savoy that will please the 
more particular gardener. Our strain has been bred for market garden 
purposes, is dark, densely curled and exceptionally hard-heading. It 
never fails to satisfy. Fkt., 10c; H oz., 20c; oz., 30c; y* lb., 75o; lb., 
$2.50. 
SPECIAL HOLLANDER (Short Stem). This Cabbage is quite distinc¬ 
tive. The head is small, very smooth, solid, and of a much rounded 
shape, but uniformly bred. The strain is a little earlier than the 
Ballhead, but in keeping quality there is no difference. It is a fine 
Ballhead Cabbage and in two respects it is of special value. Its size 
of head makes it very desirable for shipment to distant markets. 
Average weight per head, 5 pounds. Is also adapted for muck soils; 
very solid. Fkt., 10c; y a oz., 30c; oz., 50c; y^ lb., $1.35; lb., $4.50. 
“We raised one-half acre of Marion Market Cabbage from yout seed last year 
and the heads averaged 10 pounds. I would appreciate it if you would give me 
the same strain of seed again.”—STROUD GARDENS, Erie Co, Ohio. 
Chinese Cabbage 
One ounce of seed will sow 400 feet of row. 4 ounces per acre. 
We advise that the seed be sown in July or August (not ehrlier) because 
Chinese Cabbage has a tendency to bolt to seed in warm weather. 
Sow where the plants are to remain in rows 2^ feet apart, 18 inches 
apart in the row. It is very easily grown and takes very little space. 
The crop matures in from 8 to 10 weeks. 
CHIHLI. This is the new grand strain of Chinese Cabbage. Gr6ws 18 
to 24 inches tall and 5 to 7 inches in diameter, witli straight ina nar¬ 
row crown. Interior bleaches creamy white, crisp and' delicious. It Is 
a good keeper and shipper. We have proven seed. Fkt., 10c; % oz ->

variety. Has a deliciously mild flavor, and the pale green, closely 
wrapped leaves blanch to almost pure white. Fkt., 10c; y a ozi, 20c; 
oz., 30c; V4 lb., 75c; lb., $2.50.
