Cabbage "Yellows” Resistant 
These are the best stocks obtainable. If you have “yellows” on your 
farm, be sure to grow these varieties: 
Golden Acre (Resistant Detroit). Early round head, uniform. 
Marion Market. Early Copenhagen type. 
Wisconsin All Season. Main crop. Large, flat head. Excellent quality. 
Wisconsin Ballhead. Late. Flat, globe-shaped heads. 
Wisconsin Hollander No. 8. Late, round Danish type. 
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 earlier) 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 grand new strain of Chinese Cabbage. Grows 18 to 
24 inches tall and 5 to 7 inches in diameter, with straight and narrow 
crown. Interior bleaches creamy white, crisp and delicious. It is a 
good keeper and shipper. We have proven seed. 
Pkt., 10c; oz., 30c; (4 lb., 85c; lb., $2.75. 
WONG BOK. This is a shorter and more solid head than the Pe-Tsai 
variety. Has a deliciously mild flavor, and the pale green, closely 
wrapped leaves blanch to almost pure white.

CHICORY. (See Endive.) 
SWISS CHARD 
LARGE GREEN WHITE-RIBBED. The best selling sort on the market. 
It is a big improvement over the Lucullus varieties; the leaf I s green 
and curly. It also has a much better flavor than the Lucullus sorts. 
Commercial growers claim this will out-sell any other kind.
