CABBAGE—Continued. 
Penn State Ballhead. (See page 8.) Pkt., 10c; %4 0z., 35c; oz., 60c} 
% Ib., $1.75; lb., $6.00. 
PREMIUM FLAT DUTCH. This has been a favorite in many Cabbage 
growing sections as a late fall or winter variety, making large and 
much flattened heads of remarkable solidity. They keep well through- 
out of the winter, Pkt., 5c; %4 0z., 20c; oz., 30c; %4 Ilb., 90c; lb., $3.00. 
DANISH BALLHEAD (Short Stem). A leader among Cabbage for winter 
because of its solid hard head and excellent keeping qualities. It has 
a distinctly larger and heavier head than Special Hollander. The heads 
are round, uniform in shape, size and color. Average weight per head 
6% pounds. We recommend Danish Ballhead Short Stem to particular 
growers. Pkt., 10c; 1% 0z., 25c; 0z., 45c; %4 1b., $1.20; Ib., $4.00. 
MAMMOTH ROCK RED. This is the largest and best of the red types. 
This carefully bred strain we offer produces fine, large, solid heads of 
good color. Pkt., 10c; 144 oz., 30c; oz., 50c; 44 1b., $1.50; 1b., $5.00. 
Savoy Chieftain. Excellent early strain for home and market gar- 
den. Heads medium size, short-stemmed, compact, rounded, uniformly 
savoyed. Dark olive-green color. Very firm. Stand a long time without 
bursting.

MARION MARKET. (Yellows-Rsistant Copenhagen.) Resistant to 
“yellows.” Early, round head, short stem. Excellent quality. Use 
Marion Market if you are bothered with disease. A sure header. 
Pkt., 10c; 4% 0z., 30c; oz., 50c; % Ih., $1.35; lb., $4.50. 
WISCONSIN HOLLANDER NO. 8. (Yellows-Resistant.) Splendid late 
Cabbage for storage, shipment and kraut manufacture on land infested 
so badly with the “yellows” disease that other varieties failed com- 
pletely. Heads large, globular, very firm. Keeps well until spring. 
Pkt., 10c; 14 oz., 30c; oz., 50c; %4 lb., $1.50; Ib., $5.00. 
Wisconsin Balihead. (Yellows-Resistant.) A new strain which pro- 
duces excellent crops on soil infested with ‘‘yellows.’’ Keeps well, is of 
fine texture and matures earlier and has a smaller head than Wisconsin 
No. 8. Pkt., 10c; 44 02z., 30c; 0z, 50c; %4 1b, $1.50; 1b., $5.00. 
IMPROVED AMERICAN SAVOY. Here is a Savoy that will please the 
more particular gardener. Our strain has been bred for market garden 
purposes, is dark, densely curled and exceptionally hard-heading. It 
never fails to satisfy. 
Pkt., 10c; 4% oz., 25c; oz., 45c; %4 lb., $1.20; Ib., $4.00. 
Special Hollander. (Short Stem.) This Cabbage is quite distinctive. 
The head is small, very smooth, solid, and of a much rounded shape. 
The strain is a little earlier than the Ballhead. It is a fine Ballhead 
Cabbage. Its size of head makes it very desirable for shipment to dis- 
tant markets. Average weight per head, 5 pounds. Is also adapted for 
muck soils. Pkt., 10c; % 0z., 30c; 0z., 50c; %4 lb., $1.50; lb., $5.00. 
Cabbage “Yellows” Resistant 
These are the best stocks obtainable. If you have “yellows” on your 
farm, be sure to grow these varieties: 
Golden Acre (Yellows Resistant). Early round head, uniform. 
Marion Market. Early Copenhagen type. 
Wisconsin All Season. Main crop. Large, flat head. Excellent quality. 
Wisconsin Ballhead, Late. Flat, globe-shaped heads. 
Wisconsin Hollander No. 8. Late, round Danish type. 
Chinese Cabbage 
One ounce of seed will sow 4oo feet of row; 4 ounces per acre. 
We advise that the seed be sown in July or August (not earlier) because 
Chinese Cabbage has a tendency to bolt to seed in warm weather. Sow 
where the plants are to remain in rows 2% feet apart, 18 inches apart in 
the row. It is very easily grown and takes very little space. The crop 
matures in from 8 to 10 weeks. 
Chihli. This is the grand new strain of Chinese Cabbage. Grows 18 to 
24 inches tall and 5 to 7 inches in diameter, with straight and narrow 
crown. Interior bleaches creamy white, crisp and delicious. It is a 
good keeper and shipper. We have proven seed. 
Pkt., 10c; '% 0z., 20c; oz., 35c; 4 1b., $1.00; 1b., $3.50. 
WONG BOK. This is a shorter and more solid head than the Pe-Tsai 
variety. Has a deliciously mild flavor, and the pale green, closely 
wrapped leaves blanch to almost pure white. 
Pkt., 10c; 0z., 30c; 14 Ib., 90c; 1b., $3.00. 
CHICORY. (See Endive.) 
SWISS CHARD 
LARGE GREEN WHITE-RIBBED. The best selling sort on the market. 
It is a big improvement over the Lucullus varieties; the leaf is green 
and curly. It also has a much better flavor than the Lucullus sorts. 
Commercial growers claim this will out-sell any other kind. 
Pkt., 5c; 0z., 15c; %4 1b., 30c; Ib., $1.00.
