Italian Green Sprouting Broccoli 
Yellows-Resistant Cabbage 
Seed 
Varieties listed below are the result of special 
breeding against Yellows or Wilt Disease, an 
infection frequently attributed to hot or dry 
weather. Our stock seed is selected rigidly and 
continuously for type and resistance. We offer 
only first generation seed from such stock. 
62 ALL SEASONS Yellows Resistant. 
Recommended for “yellows” sick soil where 
the flatter type of domestic cabbage is wanted 
for kraut, ete. A very uniform stock pro- 
ducing large crops and very highly resistant. 
Pkt., 15c; oz., 60c; 14 1b., $1.75. 
63 GOLDEN ACRE Yellows Resistant. 
True to type and earliness and in addition will 
produce good crops on ‘“‘yellows’’ sick soil 
where regular Golden Acre cannot do well. 
Pkt., 15c; oz., 75c; 1% 1b., $2.00. 
64 MARION MARKET. Highly resistant to 
yellows; round head, short stem, will permit 
close planting. Earliest of all yellows-resistant 
varieties selected from Copenhagen Market. 
Pkt., 15c; 0z., 60c; %4 Ihb., $1.75. 
65 WISCONSIN HOLLANDER. This is 2 
strain of Hollander or Danish Ballhead. A 
heavy yielding, round head, deep green, with 
a purple or bluish tint on the edges. 
Pkt., 15c; oz., 60c; 44 lb., $1.75. 
Early Varieties 
66 GOLDEN ACRE. This is an early, round- 
headed Cabbage which closely resembles 
Copenhagen Market in type. As its name 
implies, it is a money-maker. It is 8 to 10 
days earlier than Copenhagen Market but is 
smaller and can be planted closer. Because of 
its earliness and fine quality, it commands a 
higher price than any round-headed Cabbage. 
Pkt., 10c; o0z., 50c; % Ib., $1.50, 
67 EARLY JERSEY WAKEFIELD. One 
of the earliest and by far the surest heading 
of first early Cabbages. Most gardeners de- 
pend upon it entirely for their extra early 
crop. It is exceedingly hardy, resists cold and 
unfavorable conditions and is the most likely 
to yield satisfactory results. Plants are com- 
pact, with erect conical heads and few outer 
leaves. Stems short; heads of medium size, 
very solid and of excellent quality. 
Pkt., 10c; oz., 35c; %4 I1h., 95c. 
68 EARLY WINNINGSTADT. One of the 
best conical or sharp heading sorts which is 
compact and of excellent quality. Quick ma- 
turing. It is the hardiest not only as regards 
frost but will suffer less from excessive wet, 
drought, insects, or disease than any other 
sort of its class. 
Pkt., 10c; 0z., 30c; %4 lb., 90c. 
69 COPENHAGEN MARKET. The earliest 
round-head or flat Cabbage yet introduced. 
The heads are exceptionally large and it has 
a very short stem and few outer leaves—a 
most excellent sort for home gardens and 
market gardeners. On account of extreme 
earliness, it is destined to become one of the 
leading sorts grown, as a flat Cabbage fills 
barrels or crates faster than sharp head Cab- 
bage and will yield the grower more returns. 
We predict for Copenhagen Market an ex- 
tensive cultivation. Our stock is from one of 
the best Denmark growers. 
Pkt., 10c; oz., 40c; 14 Ib., $1.25. 
Broccoli 
60 ITALIAN GREEN SPROUTING (Cal- 
abrese). The truest heading strain. A 
packet will produce about 200 plants; an 
ounce about 2000. Broccoli is grown the 
same as cabbage or cauliflower. Simply sow 
the seed in the open ground in May and 
transplant the plants when large enough. 
Plant forms a large, solid head which remains 
green. When the central head is cut, numer- 
ous sprouts develop from the leaf axils, each 
sprout terminating in small, green heads. 
A popular delicacy for the entire family, 
Pkt., 10c; 144 0z., 25c; oz., 40c. 
Brussels Sprouts 
One ounce makes about 2000 good plants. 
A vegetable of the cabbage family which is 
largely used in the fall. It should be more 
largely grown in home gardens. It produces 
stalks about 2 feet high, which are covered with 
small heads resembling miniature cabbage. 
These are cooked and served like cabbage and 
are very tender and delicious. 
Culture. Same as for late cabbage, but 
plants are set closer together. 
61 PERFECTION. A semi-dwarf variety and 
one of the best. Pkt., 10c; 0z., 40c. 
CABBAGE CHOICE SELECTED STOCKS 
Culture. For earliest plants the seed is sown in hotbeds from January to 
March. To make the best plants, sow early and transplant to cold frames. 
Then at the end of March or the first of April transplant to the garden. 
One ounce makes about 2000 good plants. 
Six ounces make plants enough for 1 acre. 
Medium Early Varieties 
72 ALL SEASONS. One of the largest and 
a thoroughly satisfactory second early sort. 
Plants are vigorous, sure heading; leaves 
large and smooth. This is a first-class sort 
both for early and late planting and is espe- 
cially adapted for kraut. It is well adapted 
to stand the hot sun and adverse conditions. 
Pkt., 10c; 0z., 30c; 1% lb., 90c. 
73 EARLY DWARF FLAT DUTCH. A 
variety which has long been popular among 
growers, both for home use and markets. 
The heads are borne on short stems and are 
very large, solid, and nearly flat on top. 
Practically every plant will form a good, 
solid head which will mature earlier than 
Late Flat Dutch. 
Pkt., 10c; 0z., 30c; 14 Ib., 90c. 
75 ALL HEAD EARLY. As early as most 
of the early summer Cabbages; the deep, flat 
heads are extremely solid and uniform in 
color, shape, and size. Splendid for kraut. 
Pkt., 10c; 0z., 30c; %4 Ib., 90c. 
Main Crop Varieties 
77 PREMIUM LATE FLAT DUTCH. A 
very superior strain of this well-known, 
popular Cabbage which is exceptionally re- 
liable for main crop planting. It is short 
stemmed; has rather large, early leaves, and 
produces uniformly large, flat, deep, solid 
heads of splendid quality. It is an excellent 
keeper and can be relied upon as thoroughly 
satisfactory. 
Pkt., 10c; 0z., 30c; %4 lb., 90c. 
78 LARGE AMERICAN DRUMHEAD. 
One of the oldest and most popular late sorts, 
producing large, rounded heads. Has been 
grown for many years and ours is improved 
stock. Heads somewhat more globe-shaped 
than Late Flat Dutch. Leaves large, loose, 
spreading. Keeps well. 
Pkt., 10c; 0z., 30c; 1% 1b., 90c. 
79 DANISH BALLHEAD. It produces very 
large, solid heads, which are globular in 
shape, has few but rather large, thick, bluish 
green leaves. Heads are borne on short stems, 
are of medium size, round, very solid, and 
stand shipment better than any other late 
sort. One of the very best keepers and much 
desired for kraut. Our stock is Denmark 
grown and very select. 
Pkt., 15c; oz., 60c; 44 lb., $1.75. 
81 PERFECTION DRUMHEAD SAVOY. 
Too little attention is paid to the Savoy cab- 
bages. It is used almost entirely for. late 
planting and attains its greatest perfection 
in flavor after frost, when it becomes as 
tender and even more delicious than cauli- 
flower. The heads are of medium size, borne 
on short stems, and not as large as the or- 
dinary late cabbage, hence will stand closer 
planting. Our stock of this is American 
grown and will produce uniformly large 
heads for this variety. We strongly recom- 
mend it to be more extensively grown both 
for home use and market. 
Pkt., 10c; 0z., 30c; 1% Ihb., 90c. 

Red Cabbage 
82 MAMMOTH RED ROCK. A variety 
used mainly for pickles and sauerkraut. It is 
highly esteemed. 
Pkt., 10c; 0z., 50c; 1% Ib., $1.50. 
Chinese Cabbage 
Also called “Celery Cabbage.” 
An ounce of seed will sow 40 to 50 feet of 
row, a packet 3 feet. 
This vegetable of the cabbage family has 
become extremely popular. The large mid-ribs 
of the leaves are perfectly white and very 
erisp and tender. It is excellent when used as a 
salad, being of a very delicate flavor slightly 
resembling raw cabbage but more delicious. It 
is so easily raised that everyone who has a 
garden should enjoy it. 
The seed should be sown not earlier than the 
first of July in rows 2% feet apart, and the 
plants thinned 18 to 20 inches apart in the 
rows. If sown early it soon runs to seed and 
is useless. The crop matures in 8 to 10 weeks. 
83 CHIHILI. This is the earliest variety of 
Chinese Cabbage and heads more evenly than 
any other kind. The heads are pointed, very 
firm, and when matured are often 18 inches 
long, blanched pure white inside and are of 
very fine quality. Chihili is rapidly super- 
seding the older varieties, as the attractive 
heads sell readily, making this a very profit- 
able crop to grow. Our strain of Chihili is 
very uniform. 
Pkt., 10c; 0z., 35c; % Ilb., 95c.
