CABBAGE 
^'The Most Destructive and Widespread 
Cabbage Disease!" 
This new edition of our descriptive catalogue of Yellows Resis¬ 
tant cabbage seed is of deep interest to the trade for it contains 
up-to-date information on progress made in combatting what is 
probably the most destructive and widespread malady afflicting 
this crop. The money loss imposed by this disease is enormous. 
Instead of diminishing, “Yellows” is spreading; it is found in 
nearly all of the large producing areas in Central and Eastern 
states and more recently is spreading rapidly in sections as far 
south as Florida, Mississippi, and Texas, west as far as Colorado, 
and it is gradually creeping farther north within Minnesota, 
Wisconsin, Michigan, and New York. There is no telling where 
this dreaded disease will make its appearance, but it is certainly 
spreading to new land, and once the soil is infested, no amount 
of rotation, soil tieatment, or seed treatment will control it. 
“Yellows” is caused by a thread-like organism belonging to the 
fungi or mushroom family and has the capacity of thriving either 
on living plants of the cabbage family or on any dead vegetation 
in the soil, thus enabling the organism to live indefinitely. 
The Only Control Is 
To Grow Yellows Resistant Cabbage 
The WISCONSIN CABBAGE SEED COMPANY is the only 
organization devoted exclusively to the development and im¬ 
provement of Yellows Resistant strains. We are carrying on in

When Professor Jones was called in to iS|^sti^te tfi^d^ease-, 
he very soon discovered the only remedy ^^^^^deveUjp ^ew 
strains resistant to the Yellows. Up to the presei^^im^Prof^sser 
Jones, Dr. Walker and co-workers have develope^^^ of ^ 
varieties now in use. The production of Kraut va^etfes^ waS'., 
financially supported by members of the National Krai^^a'^lj^s jw 
Association. 
When these resistant strains were released by the Univer; 
of Wisconsin, it was necessary that they be kept in a high! 
resistant form, and made available to the trade. The WISCON 
SIN CABBAGE SEED COMPANY was then organized for 
this purpose. The work is directed by a plant pathologist es¬ 
pecially trained under Dr. Walker. The company maintains ex¬ 
tensive breeding grounds and an air-conditioned warehouse in 
the heart of the Yellows area of Racine County, Wisconsin. 
This catalogue presents the story to the highly important 
Yellows Resistant work from inception to the present day. The 
company is devoting all its energy, resources and scientific ap¬ 
plications available to this one commodity in an endeavor to 
supply the trade with strains of uniform type and quality; to 
keep Resistance at the highest point possible; and to breed new 
strains. A new strain requires from 8 to 10 years to develop.
