CABBAGE 
No crop calls for more care in the purchase of seed than does cabbage, for it is subject to serious 
seed-borne diseases. Plant, therefore, only strains which have been raised and prepared for sale with 
scrupulous care in the avoidance of bacterial infection. 
The earliest cabbages are started under glass and transplanted when 4”-6” high, into rows 2-2 1 /£ ft. 
apart with 18” between plants. Later, larger sorts need a little more room. Each ounce of seed 
should produce about 3,000 plants and an acre of cabbage will contain 12,000-15,000 plants. 
Days given below are from setting of plants to marketable heads. 
Yellows-resistant Varieties 
Essential to the grower in yellows-infested areas. 
Cabbage yellows or wilt is a prevalent and serious disease which makes the plants turn yellowish, 
wilt and curl up. It is caused by a fungus growth in the soil and there is no known remedy once 
the plants have become infected. Where the disease is known to exist the following yellows-resistant 
varieties should be planted. 
All Head Select: 78 days. Similar to All Head 
Early. Very uniform and of good quality. 
Improved Globe: 77 days. A resistant improved 
stock of Glory of Enkhuizen. Large solid heads. 
Resistant Golden Acre: 65 days. A resistant 
strain of the well-known extra early variety. 
* Marion Market: 79 days. Developed from 
Copenhagen Market but with slightly larger, 
round, firm heads. Valuable for early kraut. 
★Wisconsin Hollander: 105 days. Similar in 
type to Danish Ballhead. Attractive, large, firm, 
flattened globe-shaped heads. Very hardy and 
a good keeper. 
Marion Market: Resistant to yellows 
Wisconsin Ball Head: 100 days. Very hard. 
Smooth large heads with blue-green leaves. 
A very good late variety. 
Wisconsin All Season: 95 days. Similar to the 
standard All-Seasons but perhaps a little coarser. 
Standard Varieties 
All Head Early: 78 days. Very hardy, with 
large, deep-flat heads, uniform in size and color. 
Excellent for shipping and for kraut. 
All Seasons: 87 days. Stands heat well. Large 
deep heads. 
★Copenhagen Market: 69 days. An excellent 
early variety for shipping or kraut. Few outer 
leaves, short stem; heads round and solid, 3^-4 
lb. weight; of superior quality. 
★Charleston Wakefield: 74 days. A heavy yield¬ 
ing, conical-headed sort largely used in Southern 
planting for shipment to Northern markets. 
Larger than Jersey Wakefield. 
★Danish Ball Head or Hollander: 103 days. The 
leading variety, equally good for kraut, storage 
or shipping. The deep round head is very hard 
and the interior compact. 
Early Flat Dutch. Stein's: 90 days. Widely and 
well known as a medium early, heavy producer 
of large, solid somewhat flattened heads. A fa¬ 
vorite with shippers and local market growers. 
★ Varieties marked with a star are strongly recommended as not only excellent developments 
of modern plant-breeding methods but also most highly in demand for markets generally.
