Cabbage 
One ounce for 2000 plants; V^lb. to l /zlb. for an acre 
For fall crops many growers drill the seed directly 
in the field, later thinning out to the desired spacing 
between plants in the row. This avoids 
all hazard of transplanting and insures 
continued growth during the heat and 
drought of late summer. 
Early Varieties 
Green Acre. (New.) The heads of 
this fine variety are like Golden 
Acre but are larger, greener, and 
a few days later. The uniform, 
compact plants are short¬ 
stemmed and have few outer 
leaves. The intense green leaf color 
makes the heads appear fresh Super Strain Golden Acre Cabbage 
and inviting, even after shipping. This often means extra dollars of profit. 
Golden Acre, Super Strain. A very superior Danish-grown strain which we main¬ 
tain at its high degree of uniformity by special selection. It resembles the old 
Copenhagen Market but the medium-sized, firm heads, 4 to 5 pounds each, 
mature one week earlier than our Early Copenhagen Market. The dwarf, com¬ 
pact plants, with rather small frame, can be set closely to give a very heavy 
yield of first-quality heads. On yellows-infested land, because of its earliness, it 
often matures and is fully marketed before the soil becomes warm enough for the 
disease to become active. This strain is easily worth the higher cost of the seed. 
Copenhagen Market, Early. The round, solid heads, larger than Golden Acre, are 
of fine quality and very uniform. The light green leaves fold tightly over one 
another. Plants are short-stemmed, with heads just above the ground. A few 
days later than regular Golden Acre. Cuts tender, white and compact. 
Yellows-Resistant Golden Acre. This is the very earliest round-headed partly 
yellows-resistant variety and is more uniformly true to type than any other. By 
selection, we have increased its earliness so that now it matures very little, if any, 
later than our Golden Acre, Super Strain. 
Second-Early Varieties 
Copenhagen Market, Midseason. This matures about a week after Copenhagen Market 
Early and gives a heavy yield of larger, solid, uniform heads of high quality. Often com¬ 
mands a higher market as it matures when the Early strain is at the bursting stage. 
Glory of Enkhuizen. This second-early short-stemmed variety is very sure-heading 
and of excellent quality. The vigorous plants have quite big, rather spreading, 
curved and frilled outer leaves. Its dark green heads are globular, very hard and 
solid, and grow large for so early a variety. Seldom attacked by cabbage worms. 
Yellows-Resistant Glory of Enkhuizen (Globe). Fine variety with nice large, 
uniform, round heads with very short core, maturing a week after Marion Market. 
Yellows-Resistant Copenhagen Market. Matures 2 or 3 weeks after Copenhagen Market 
Early. The almost-round, very hard heads ship perfectly. They stand in the field over a 
long cutting period without bursting, often being cut along with the late varieties. 
Yellows-Resistant Marion Market. A heavy yielder of round, very deep, hard heads like 
Copenhagen but the plant is larger. Ours is a very fine strain gaining in use each year. 
Red Cabbage Varieties 
Red Acre. (New.) Earliest deep red; very, very uniform and sure heading. 
Matures just after Copenhagen. Has shape and size of Golden Acre. 
Haco Red. Early, round, dark red, hard, weighing 3 to 5 pounds trimmed. 
Mammoth Rock Red. Largest, late sort with solid round, dark red heads. 
Yellows-Resistant Red Hollander. Late, and fine for storing. A heavy 
yielder and sure header. Not as .large as Mammoth Rock Red but darker.
