CABBAGE 
Culture-—The secret of growing hardy plants is to thoroughly prepare the soil in the plant bed. Plow the soil 
to a depth of eight or ten inches, pulverize well. Sow in drills not too freely, about one-half inch deep, press the 
soil firmly over the seed ; this is important. In about six weeks transplant in rows three feet apart, one foot in 
the row for Winnigstadt, eighteen inches for large-heading varieties. Keep the crop well watered and cultivated 
for when the growth is checked the seed head matures and bursts forth as soon as moisture is again applied. This 
accounts for much cabbage going to seed. The days indicated are the average number required to produce heads 
ready for market, from the time young plants are set in the field. 
EARLY VARIETY 
EARLY JERSEY WAKEFIELD 
Early Jersey Wakefield—The best first-early oblong¬ 
headed cabbage. The heads are uniformly hard and 
solid. They are pyramidal in form, generally pointed 
at the end, with but few outside leaves. The outer 
leaves are unusually thick and heavy, and it is thereby 
enabled to stand more cold weather without injury 
when carried through the winter.

Extra Early Express—About ten days earlier than 
Early Wakefield; heads small, heart-shaped and very 
solid. Per pkt. 10c; oz. 25c; *4 lb. 85c; lb. $2.50 
Early Flat Dutch—Earlier and heads somewhat 
smaller than Late Flat Dutch ; a good short stemmed 
early. Pkt. 10c; oz. 25c; r A lb. 85c; lb. $2.50 
Baby Head—Of unusual merit. The beautiful little 
round heads are “solid as a rock” and weigh from three 
to six pounds, just a right size for family use.

Copenhagen Market 
Copenhagen Market—It is undoubtedly without a 
rival as the finest large round-headed early Cabbage 
in cultivation. The type is thoroughly fixed, the heads 
maturing all at the same time—(this being a great 
consideration to Market Gardeners, entailing less labor 
in harvesting the crop and allows the ground to be 
cleared at the first cutting). The heads average about 
ten pounds each in weight, and very solid, with small 
core and of fine quality. The plant is short-stemmed, 
the heads being produced almost on the ground level. 
The leaves are light green, rather small saucer-shaped, 
and always tightly folded. The plants, therefore, can 
be set closer than usual with varieties of similar size.

GOLDEN ACRE 
Golden Acre—A very fine new sort from Denmark— 
the home of fine Cabbages. It is very uniform, almost 
every head could be cut at the same time. The origin¬ 
ator states that Golden Age matures quicker than 
any variety known to him. The head is of medium size, 
quite round, and is surrounded by a few small outer 
leaves. It is very firm and fully equal to any of the 
late sorts in this respect. On account of its hardness 
it will stand in the field for a month or more without 
bursting and can be shipped long distances and arrive 
in excellent condition. Don’t fail to give the Golden 
Acre a trial. Pkt. 10c; oz. 40c; lb. $1.25.

LATE VARIETY 
RED CABBAGE 
DANISH STONEHEAD OR ROUND RED 
Danish Stonehead or Round Red—This splendid nov¬ 
elty is a recent introduction. It produces round or 
ball shaped heads of great solidity and unusually dark 
purplish color, and this rich coloring extends to the 
center of the head, showing only a small portion of 
white when cutting across the veins and tissue. The 
plants are of strong, compact growth, producing heads 
uniform in size and shape, from 6 to 8 inches in diam¬ 
eter. It is the best keeper of any of the Red Cabbages. 
Most desirable for the housewife in slicing for slaws, 
salads etc 
Per pkt. 10c; oz. 25c; lb. 85c; lb. $2.50 
BALLHEAD 
Danish Ballhead—Our seed is absolutely unequaled! 
It is esteemed for winter use because of the great 
solidity and excellent keeping qualities of the heads. 
From repeated trials, as well as from the experience 
of many customers purchasing our original Danish- 
grown seed, we know that this selected strain surpasses 
in even growth and heading, as well as in uniform size 
and solidity of heads, any other stock of “so-called 
Hollander Cabbage.” The magnificent heads are nearly 
round in form, very hard and solid ; they keep in finest 
condition, when buried through the winter, coming out 
solid in spring. Pkt. 10c; oz. 25c; % lb. 85c; lb. $2.50 
Danish Roundhead—Has given such splendid satis¬ 
faction to growers for winter market that we could 
fill pages with enthusiastic letters from pleased 
planters. The heads average larger in size than those 
of the Ballhead, maturing about two weeks earlier, 
and are set on shorter stalks. They are extremely hard 
and solid, with interior leaves blanched to the purest 
whiteness ; sweet flavor and crisp tender texture. 
Per pkt. 10c; oz. 25c; lb. 85c; lb. $2.50 
Premium Flat Dutch—An improved strain of the old 
Large Late Flat Dutch type. Highly esteemed.

Burpee’s Surehead Cabbage—This famous cabbage 
was first introduced years ago. It produces large round 
flattened heads, of the Flat Dutch type, and is remark¬ 
able for its certainty to head. It is all head and always 
sure to head. The heads are remarkably uniform, ex¬ 
tremely hard, fine in texture, and ordinarily weigh 
from ten to fifteen pounds each. It is very sweet fla¬ 
vored, has but few loose leaves, keeps well, is good for 
shipping. Pkt. 10c; oz. 25c; % lb. 85c; lb. $2.50.
