CABBAGE 
Native of the Western European Coast. Gardeners can rely upon Landreths’ Cabbage Seed. 
One ounce will produce 1000 plants. Seed breaks ground in 5 days. One inch high in 8 days 
under most favorable circumstances in greenhouse. Deep rooting will resist drought, so in setting 
out cover to the first leaf-stems. Supply plenty of moisture and manure. We suggest that you do not sow 
seed for an entire crop at one time, as plants of various ages are differently affected by circumstances, and 
by separate seed plantings you have a better chance to profit from at least a portion of your crop. 
Wisconsin Yellows-Resistant Cabbage varieties were introduced by the Wisconsin Agricultural 
Experimental Station to combat the tremendous crop failures at the beginning of this century, 
and have proven to meet their requirements to prevent the disease commonly known as 
‘*Yellows,”’ 
disease. 
All Head Early—90 Days. Very hardy, large, flat, 
short stem, solid head, early for its size. Few out- 
side leaves, consequently can be planted closer to- 
gether than most other large Cabbages. A reliable 
sort, well named. One of the best of the intermediate 
varieties. It is one of those varieties which can be 
planted early in the Spring as well as for late 
Autumn. One of the best Cabbages on the market. 
BLOOMSDALE LARGE LATE DRUMHEAD— 
120 Days. A large heavy head, smooth-leaved, late 
ripening Cabbage. No strain is superior and few 
equal to this. Head is thick, broad, solid, flat. 
Leaves extend well over the center leaves of the head 
and fold down alternately, forming a tight, compact 
head. We cannot too highly recommend this strain 
of Large Late Drumhead, but be careful to plant it 
in a suitable location. 
BLOOMSDALE LARGE 
LATE FLAT DUTCH— 
120 Days. The original 
strain of this cabbage was 
obtained by us’ from 
Swedish gardeners who 
settled in Philadelphia, 
previous to the Revolu- 
tionary War. Ever since 
that time we have been 
continually reselecting 
this Cabbage; we now be- 
lieve it is second to none 
of this type. It is late, 
produces large solid, 
weighty, very uniform 
heads and is the _ best 
cropper. 
Charleston Large Wakefield, Landreths’ Very 
Select—80 Days. Specially selected. Very choice 
and uniform, best of any from any source. One-third 
stronger grower than the Jersey Wakefield. One of 
the best early shipping sorts, larger but not so early 
as the Landreths’ Select Jersey Wakefield. 
Charleston or Large Wakefield—80 Days. A 
large, flattish variation of the pointed early Jersey 
Wakefield. Heads are half round, later than ithe 
Jersey Wakefield by about 10 days and 40 to 50% 
larger. This variety is also extremely popular with 
market gardeners, owing to its earliness and its size. 
Copenhagen Market—80 Days. The plants are 
very vigorous, short, stout stems, few outer leaves, 
producing a very hard, round head, very uniform in 
size and of long keeping qualities. In maturity 
slightly larger and later than Golden Acre. Pro- 
duces a greater tonnage per acre and is very profit- 
able.

or sometimes called ‘‘Wilt.’’ These strains have been successful in combating this 
Danish Round Short Stem, Amagar or Hol- 
lander—116 Days. This variety is considered by 
many the most popular ballhead, having a shorter 
stem, and is a little earlier than the tall stem; much 
superior. It produces a very solid, good quality 
medium size round head and is very popular with 
the market gardeners in Cabbage growing districts 
of northern latitudes. The best late Cabbage. 
Drumhead Savoy—100 Days. The best of its 
class, is as palatable as a Cauliflower. One of the 
best short stalk Cabbages one can grow. Large size, 
deep green, flat heads, curly or crinkled leaves. 
Early Flat Dutch—90 Days. This variety pro- 
duces thick leaves, very dark blue in color. Succeeds 
admirably in Southern States on account of its 
ability to resist heat. 
Early Jersey Wakefield, 
Landreths’ Very Select 
—70 Days. Specially se- 
lected, extra early, choice 
in all good qualities, earlier 
than Long Island Wake- 
field. Heads ovoid, broad 
at the base and running to 
a blunt point. Very solid, 
early. This excellent 
| variety is the surest head- 
ing of the very early 
varieties and most de- 
pended upon by the mar- 
ket gardeners of the 
Southern States for heads 
' to send North in the early 
Spring. A very superior 
selection. 
Marion Market Cabbage 
Early Jersey Wakefield—70 Days. A _ short 
stemmed, hardy, early cone-shaped heading variety, 
broad at the bottom with a pointed peak, the leaves 
leathery and well folded over the top. 
Golden Acre—65 Days. Here we have an acquisi- 
tion, for seed of this variety planted at the same 
time will mature 5 days earlier than Early Jersey 
Wakefield, besides being larger and much more 
showy. Plant dwarf, compact. Few outer leaves. 
Heads very solid; earlier but smaller than Copen- 
hagen. It is conical in shape, short stem and almost 
rests on the ground. 
Golden Acre Yellows Resistant—66 Days. A 
yellows resistant type of Golden Acre. Described 
above. 
Marion Market or New Resistant Wisconsin 
Copenhagen—90 Days. A yellows-resistant strain 
of Copenhagen Market. Plants large, coarse, not 
so uniform or early by ten days as the original 
Copenhagen, have solid, crisp, tender, round heads. 
Will produce a crop when non-resistant strains fail.
