upon the seed planted. Our seed is carefully grown from 
selected heads and under the supervision of expert Cab¬ 
bage seed growers. Our seed is also treated for the con¬ 
trol of seed-borne fungus and bacterial diseases^ such as 
damping-off, brown or black-rot, club-root, Fusarium wilt, 
known also as ‘‘yellows,” and black-leg, known also as 
wilt, Burgess’ Correctly-Grown, Disease-Treated Seeds

EARLIEST CABBAGE IN CULTIVATION 
70 days from sowing—ten days earlier 
than Jersey Wakefield. Good trials of

tle smaller than Jersey Wakefield, sure to 
head, solid and firm and bring high prices 
on account of their extreme earliness.

exception of Golden Acre, it is the earliest 
round-headed Cabbage. Only a few days

favorite Danish Ballhead. The stem is 
short.; the head is round and solid, averag¬

Yellows Resistant Cabbage 
These varieties will grow crops on land so diseased with 
yellows that ordinary cabbage cannot be grown at all. All 
our cabbage seed is treated against yellows and other 
seed-borne diseases, which will not prevent the cabbage 
plants from later contracting diseases that may be in the 
soil. If your soil is free from the cabbage disease known 
as “yellows,” our regular treated seed will be just as 
good as the Yellows-Resistant varieties. If your soil is 
even slightly infected, it will be safer to plant the Yellows- 
Resistant strains. We have the best strains available, and 
can offer the following varieties: 
Wisconsin Hollander 
Penn State Ballhead 
Developed by the Pennsylvania State College 
of Agriculture for the purpose of increasing the 
tonnage per acre without sacrificing any of the 
splendid qualities of the True Danish Ballhead.

round heads, uniform in shape, size and color; 
highest quality; excellent keeper. Pkt., 10c; oz.,
