LATE VARIETIES 
j^cROBSON CERTIFIED DANISH BALLHEAD: 100 
days. For the first time we are offering New York 
State Certified cabbage seed. This seed was grown 
from heads selected on our own farms. It has been 
laboratory tested for germination and field tested for 
purity and trueness to type. It was found to meet all 
the requirements for New York State Certification 
and bears the official certification seal. We are offer¬ 
ing this certified seed at no advance in price. The 
standard variety for storing for winter use. Heads 
ordinarily will weigh from 4 to 6 pounds. Under 
exceptionally good conditions many weigh up to 10 
pounds. The heads are slightly flattened, ball shape, 
solid and very heavy. This yields much better than 
the long stemmed strains and keeps better in storage 
than the larger types of Danish. Pkt. 10 cts.; oz. 
40 cts.; X lb. $1.25; lb. $4.00. 
UNCERTIFIED DANISH BALLHEAD: 100 days. 
For those who desire a less expensive grade of Danish 
Ballhead seed, we offer uncertified seed. It was 
grown from our own stock and wc believe it is 
superior to other seed offered at these prices. Pkt. 
10 cts.; oz. 30 cts.; X lb. 90 cts.; lb. $3.00. 
PENN STATE BALLHEAD: 110 days. A uniform 
strain of Ballhead developed by Dr. C. E. Myers of 
the Pennsylvania State College of Agriculture. 
Plants are medium size with short stems. The heads 
are flattened, globe shape and very solid. Desirable 
for storage. Penn State does well in New York State 
under favorable growing conditions but in drought 
years is apt to produce very small heads. Pkt. 
10 cts.; oz. 30 cts.; yi lb. 90 cts.; lb. $3.00. 
Robson Certified Danish Ballhead cabbage has been especially 
bred for its storage qualities. Growers say the medium size, deep, 
solid heads store longer with less waste. 
RED DANISH BALLHEAD: 100 days. We had a 
complete crop failure of this variety and were forced 
to purchase seed from another grower. We have seen 
this stock under field conditions and believe it will 
be satisfactory to our growers. The heads are 
medium size, dark purple and very solid. Pkt. 10 
cts.; oz. 25 cts.; yi lb. 80 cts.; lb. $2.75. 
CHIEFTAIN SAVOY: 88 days. Very uniform in size 
and heavily savoyed. For further description, see 
page 2. Pkt. 10 cts.; yi oz. 20 cts.; oz. 65 cts.;

mer, the plant is apt to go to seed before heading. Sow

apart. Thin seedlings to 15 inches apart. 
CHIHLI: 75 days. A tall, sure-heading variety. The
