Ballhead Cabbage 
See photograph of crop on page 10 
This very excellent late Cabbage, de¬ 
veloped by Dr. C. E. Myers, Professor of 
Plant Breeding at our Pennsylvania State 
College, produces near 100 per cent market¬ 
able heads. Each year, under Dr. Myers’ 
own personal supervision, is produced the 
stock seed from which our seed is then 
produced. 
Only those with a knowledge of the in¬ 
tensive, expert breeding work carried on by 
Dr. Myers for many years past, as well as at 
this present time, cajn appreciate the true 
value of this thoroughbred strain of late 
Ballhead Cabbage. Is it any wonder then 
that it has yielded as much as 23.8 tons 
per acre, as compared with the average of 
10 tons per acre of other varieties? Penn State Ballhead will mean a big crop 
of quality Cabbage to everyone who grows it. Order Early. 
Only the original seed of Penn State Ballhead 
Cabbage, grown directly from Dr. Myers’ stock 
seed, contains the label opposite. It is your guarantee of the true State 
College Strain of the latest improved crop from Dr. Myers’ latest improved 
stock seed. Send your order to Schell’s lor official seed, sealed.
