Italian Green Sprouting Broccoli 
Yellows-Resistanl Cabbage 
Seed 
Both varieties listed below are the result of 
special breeding against Yellows or Wilt Dis¬ 
ease, an infection frequently attributed to hot 
or dry weather. Our stock seed is selected rig¬ 
idly and continuously for type and resistance. 
We offer only first greueratlon seed from such 
stock. 
62 MABZOIT MABKET. Highly resistant to 
yellows : round head, short stem, will permit 
close planting. Earliest of all yellows-resist- 
ant varieties selected from Copenhagen Mar¬ 
ket. 
Fkt., 10c; oz., 50c; $l-25. 
63 YBI.I.OWS-BESISTABT HOEIiAN- 
DEB. This is a strain of Hollander or Dan¬ 
ish Ballhead. A heavy yielding, round head, 
late type. 
Fkt., 10c; oz., 50o; IB., $1.25. 
Early Varieties 
64 GOEDEN ACBE. This is an early, round- 
headed Cabbage which closely resembles Co¬ 
penhagen Market in type. As its name im¬ 
plies, it is a money-maker. It is 8 to 10 days 
earlier than Copenhagen Market but is small¬ 
er and can be planted closer. Because of its 
earliness and fine quality it commands a 
higher price than any round-headed Cabbage. 
Fkt., 10c; oz., 35c; M IB., 95c. 
65 EABEV JEBSEY WAKEFZEED. One 
of the earliest and by far the surest heading 
of first early Cabbages. Most gardeners de¬ 
pend upon it entirely for their extra early 
crop. It is exceedingly hardy, resists cold and 
unfavorable conditions and is the most likely 
to yield_ satisfactory results. Plants are com¬ 
pact, with erect conical heads and few outer 
leaves. Stems short; heads of medium size, 
very solid and of excellent quality. 
Fkt., 10c; oz., 35c; ^ IB., 95c. 
66 EABEY WINNIBGSTADT. One of the 
best conical or sharp heading sorts which is 
compact and of excellent quality. Quick ma¬ 
turing. It is the hardiest not only as regards 
frost but will suffer less from excessive wet, 
drought, insects, or disease than any other 
sort of its class. 
Fkt, 10c; oz., 30c; H IB., 90c. 
68 COFENBAGEB MABKET. The earliest 
round-head or flat Cabbage yet introduced. 
The heads are exceptionally large and it has 
a very short stem and few outer leaves—a 
most excellent sort for home gardens and 
market gardeners. On account of extreme 
earliness, it is destined to become one of the 
leading sorts grown, as a flat Cabbage fills 
barrels or crates faster than sharp head Cab¬ 
bage and will yield the grower more returns. 
We predict for Copenhagen Market an ex¬ 
tensive cultivation. Our stock is from one of 
the best Denmark growers. 
Fkt., 10c; oz., 30c; IB., 90c. 
Red Cabbage 
82 MAMMOTH BEE BOCK. A variety 
used mainly for pickles and sauerkraut. It is 
highly esteemed. 
Fkt., lOc; oz., 35c; H IB., 95c. 
Broccoli 
60 ITAUAH GBEEH SFBOUTINO (Cal- 
aBrese). The truest heading strain. A 
packet will produce about 200 plants; an 
ounce about 2000. Broccoli is grown the 
same as cabbage or cauliflower. Simply sow 
the seed in the open ground in May and 
transplant the plants when large enough. 
Plant forms a large, solid head which remains 
green. When the central head is cut, numer¬ 
ous sprouts develop from the leaf axils, each 
sprout terminating in small, green heads. 
A popular delicacy for the entire family. 
Fkt., 10c; oz., 25c; oz., 40c. 
Caltnre. For earliest plants the seed is 
sown in hotbeds from January to March. To 
make the best plants, sow early and transplant 
to cold frames. Then at the end of March or 
the first of April transplant to the garden. 
One ounce makes aBout 2000 gfood plants. 
Six ounces make plants enough for 1 acre. 
For summer use, sow in the open ground in 
April and for late use, sow in May or June. 
There is no crop that repays so well, heavy fer¬ 
tilization and constant cultivation. When plants 
are planted in the field, apply sheep manure 
either in drills or around the plant, mixing with 
the soil. To raise the best crops of Cabbage, it 
is of the utmost importance that select seed 
stock be used. The varieties we list are saved 
from the very best stocks and will give excellent 
satisfaction. We particularly call attention to 
Copenhagen Market and Premium Late Flat 
Dutch, as being the leading sorts of the types. 
All home gardens should plant some Savoy Cab¬ 
bage, as it is so much more delicious in flavor 
than the ordinary sorts. 
One ounce for 2,000 plants. 
Medium Early Varieties 
72 AEE SEASON'S. One of the largest and 
a thoroughly satisfactory second early sort. 
Plants are vigorous, sure beading; leaves 
large and smooth. This is a first class sort 
both for early and late planting and is espe¬ 
cially adapted for kraut. It is well adapted 
to stand the hot sun and adverse conditions. 
Fkt., 10c; oz., 25c; IB., 75c. 
73 EABEY EWABF FEAT DUTCH. A 
variety which has long been popular among 
growers, both for home use and markets. 
The heads are borne on short stems and are 
very large, solid, and nearly flat on top. 
Practically every plant will form a good, 
solid head which will mature earlier than 
Late Flat Dutch. 
Fkt., lOc; oz., 25c; IB., 75c. 
75 AEE HEAD EABET. As early as most 
of the early summer Cabbages ; the deep, flat 
heads are extremely solid and uniform in 
color, shape, and size. Splendid for kraut. 
Fkt., 10c; oz., 25c; IB., 75c. 
Main Crop Varieties 
77 FBEMIUM EATE FEAT 
dutch, a very superior strain of 
this well-known, popular _ Cabbage 
which is exceptionally reliable for 
main crop planting. It is short stem¬ 
med ; has rather large early leaves, 
and produces uniformly large, flat, 
deep, solid beads of splendid quality. 
It is an excellent keeper and can be 
relied upon as thoroughly satisfactory. 
Fkt., 10c; oz., 25c; Vn IB., 75c. 
78 EABGE AMEBICAN DBUM- 
HEAD. One of the oldest and most 
popular late sorts, producing large, 
rounded heads. Has been grown for 
many years and ours is improved 
stock. Heads somewhat more globe- 
shaped than Late Flat Dutch. Leaves 
large, loose, spreading. Keeps well. 
Fkt., 10c; oz., 25c; V4 IB., 75c. 
79 DANISH BAEEHEAD. It pro¬ 
duces very large, solid heads, which 
are globular in shape, has few but 
rather large, thick, bluish green leaves 
Heads are borne on short stems, are of 
medium size, round, very solid and 
stand shipment better than any other 
late sort. One of the very best keepers 
and much desired for kraut. Our stock 
is Denmark grown and very select. 
Fkt., 10c; oz., 35c; H IB., 95c. 
Brussels Sprouts 
One ounce makes aBont 2000 fiTood plants. 
A vegetable of the cabbage family which is 
largely used in the fall. It should be more 
largely grown in home gardens. It produces 
stalks about 2 feet high, which are covered with 
small heads resembling miniature cabbage. 
These are cooked and served like cabbage and 
are very tender and delicious. 
Culture. Same as for late cabbage, but 
plants are set closer together. 
61 FEBFECTION. A semi-dwarf variety 
and one of the best. Fkt., 10c; oz., 25c. 
81 FEBFECTION DBUMHEAD SAVOT. 
Too little attention is paid to the Savoy cab¬ 
bage in this locality, as for home gardens it is 
unquestionably the most desired of all cab¬ 
bages. It is used almost entirely for late 
planting and attains its greatest perfection 
in flavor after frost, when_ it b^omes as 
tender and even more delicious than cauli¬ 
flower. The heads are of medium size, borne 
on short stems, and not as large as the or¬ 
dinary late cabbage, hence will stand closer 
planting. Our stock of this is American 
grown and will produce uniformly large 
heads for this variety. We strongly recom¬ 
mend it to be more extensively grown both 
for home use and market. 
Fkt., 10c; oz., 30c; lb., 90c. 
Chinese Cabbage 
Also called “Celery CaBBagpe.” 
An ounce of seed will sow 40 to 50 feet of 
row, a packet 3 feet. 
This vegetable of the cabbage family has be¬ 
come extremely popular. The large mid-rihs of 
the leaves are_ perfectly white and very crisp 
and tender. It is excellent when used as a salad, 
being of a very delicate flavor slightly resem¬ 
bling raw cabbage but more delicious. It is so 
easily raised that everyone who has a garden 
should enjoy it. 
The seed should be sown not earlier than the 
first of July in rows 2% feet apart, and the 
plants thinned 18 to 20 inches apart in the 
rows. If sown early it soon runs to seed and is 
useless. The crop matures in 8 to 10 weeks. 
83 CHIHIEI. This is the earliest variety of 
Chinese Cabbage and heads more evenly than 
any other kind. The heads are pointed, very 
firm, and when matured are often 18 inches 
long, blanched pure white inside and are of 
very fine quality. Chihili is rapidly super¬ 
seding the older varieties, as the attractive 
heads sell readily, making this a very profit¬ 
able crop to grow. Our strain of Chihili is 
very uniform.
