Special Hollander. (snort 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; 4% oz., 30c; 0z., 50c; % Ib., $1.50; lb., $5.00. 
Yellows-Resistant Cabbage Seed 
Since many farms have “yellows sick” soil, yellows resistant varieties 
should be Planted more. These varieties are the only ones that will 
succeed in many sections. We recommend their use wherever danger 
of yellows may exist. If disease strikes, resistant strains will show 
slight loss, where non-resistant types would be destroyed, Our list 
below are the best—none better. 
Golden Acre. (Yellows-Resistant.) This strain developed from Golden 
Acre. It is the same type as Golden Acre Special, 3 to 4 days later. We 
recommend planting it on soils infested with yellows, Produces heads 
ready for cutting two weeks earlier than Marion Market. It is a uni- 
form strain, maturing very early. 
Pkt., 15c; 1% 0z., 30c; 02z., 50c; %4 Ib., $1.50; lb., $5.00, 
Marion Market. Yellows-Resistant 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; % Ib., $1.35; lb., $4.50. 
Wisconsin All Season. (Yellows-Resistant.) Very valuable in 
localities infested with the disease known as “cabbage yellows.” Used 
for kraut, also valuable for winter keeping. Heads large, 10 to 12 
inches across, 8 inches deep and weigh 9 to 10 pounds. 
Pkt., 10c; 44 02z., 25c; oz., 45c; %4 Ihb., $1.20; lb., $4.00. 
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; 44 02z., 30c; oz., 50c; % Ib., $1.50; lb., $5.00. 
Wisconsin Ballhead. (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; %4 0z., 30c; 02, 50c; %4 Ib, $1.50; Ib., $5.00, 
Chinese Cabbage 
One ounce of seed will sow goo 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; 14 0z., 20c; oz., 35c; % Ib., $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; oz., 30c; 14 Ib., 90c; Ib., $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., 10c; 0z., 20c; %4 Ib., 65c; Ib., $2.00.
