One ounce for 2000 plants; Ylb. to Y21b. for an acre 
For fall crops many growers drill the seed directly 
in the field, later thinning out to the desired spacing 
between plants in the row. This avoids 
all hazard of transplanting and insures 
continued growth during the heat and 
drought of late summer. 
Early Varieties 
Green Acre. (New.) The heads of § 
this fine variety are like Golden 
Acre but are larger, greener, and 
a few days later. The uniform, 
compact plants are short- 
stemmed and have few outer 
leaves. The intense green Jeaf color 
makes the heads appear fresh Super Strain Golden Acre Cabbage 
and inviting, even after shipping. This often means extra dollars of profit. 
Golden Acre, Super Strain. A very superior Danish-grown strain which we main- 
tain at its high degree of uniformity by special selection. It resembles the old 
Copenhagen Market but the medium-sized, firm heads, 4 to 5 pounds each, 
mature one week earlier than our Early Copenhagen Market. The dwarf, com- 
pact plants, with rather small frame, can be set closely to give a very heavy 
yield of first-quality heads. On yellows-infested land, because of its earliness, it 
often matures and ts fully marketed before the soil becomes warm enough for the 
disease to become active. This strain is easily worth the higher cost of the seed. 
Copenhagen Market, Early. The round, solid heads, larger than Golden Acre, are 
of fine quality and very uniform. The light green leaves fold tightly over one 
another. Plants are short-stemmed, with heads just above the ground. A few 
days later than regular Golden Acre. Cuts tender, white and compact. 
Yellows-Resistant Golden Acre. This is the very earliest round-headed partly 
yellows-resistant variety and is more uniformly true to type than any other. By 
selection, we have increased its earliness so that now it matures very little, if any, 
later than our Golden Acre, Super Strain. 
Second-Early Varieties 
Copenhagen Market, Midseason. This matures about a week after Copenhagen Market 
Early and gives a heavy yield of Jarger, solid, uniform heads of high quality. Often com- 
mands a higher market as it matures when the Early strain is at the bursting stage. 
Glory of Enkhuizen. This second-early short-stemmed variety is very sure-heading 
and of excellent quality. The vigorous plants have quite big, rather spreading, 
curved and frilled outer Ieaves. Its dark green heads are globular, very hard and 
solid, and grow large for so early a variety. Seldom attacked by cabbage worms. 
Yellows-Resistant Glory of Enkhuizen (Globe). Fine variety with nice large, 
uniform, round heads with very short core, maturing a week after Marion Market. 
Yellows-Resistant Copenhagen Market. Matures 2 or 3 weeks after Copenhagen Market 
Early. The almost-round, very hard heads ship perfectly. They stand im the field over a 
long cutting period without bursting, often being cut along with the late varieties. a 
Yellows-Resistant Marion Market. A heavy yielder of round, very deep, hard heads like 
Copenhagen but the plant is larger. Ours is a very fine strain gaining in use each year. 
Red Cabbage Varieties 
Red Acre. (New.) Earliest deep red; very, very uniform and sure heading. 
Matures just after Copenhagen. Has shape and size of Golden Acre. 
Haco Red. Early, round, dark red, hard, weighing 3 to 5 pounds trimmed.

Yellows-Resistant Red Hollander. Late, and fine for storing. A heavy 
yielder and sure header. Not as large as Mammoth Rock Red but darker.

Late Cabbage 
Danish Roundhead, Short Stem. One of the best-keeping 
varieties. Heads are round, large, heavy, and very hard. 
Hollander. Vigorous, compact, short-stemmed plants with 
few, upright, large leaves. The very solid, round, medium- 
sized heads ship perfectly and keep well until late spring. 
Sure-heading, and very hardy. 
Hollander, Ferry’s. Extra-fine with extremely uniform hard, 
round heads, slightly smaller than Hollander, on short stems. 
Likes a good rich soil. Ships very well. 
Penn State Ballhead, Select. A very hard-heading se- 
lection of Danish Ballhead which yields an increased 
tonnage per acre. It may be planted closer because of 
restricted Jeaf-growth. The heads are solid, uniform, 
fme-grained, on short stems, and keep well. Well suited 
to early May seeding, setting plants in early June to ma- 
ture in early September when Cabbage usually brings 
high prices. Much improved over the original strain. 
Yellows-Resistant Wisconsin Ballhead. Matures 10 days ahead of 
Wisconsin Hollander No. 8, is less coarse, more uniform,

Yellows-Resistant Wisconsin Hollander No. 8. The heavy, hard, 
round “‘Ballheads,”’ slightly flattened, are unexcelled for storing, 
shipping and kraut manufacture. Each weighs 7 to 9 pounds.
