Late or Winter Cabbage 
ease): | i395 Burpee’s Sureheado 
Surehead Market Gardeners’ Strain 
























93 days. One of the oldest cabbages 
listed today, Surehead still deserves its 
name. Our American grown stock is 
distinct, uniform, and very desirable 
where a large late cabbage with a flat- 
tened head is required. Short stem, 
small frame, with heads weighing 7 to 
10 lbs., 10 to 12 in. in diameter and 6 to 
7 in. deep. Good keeper. Seed crop 
is very short. Pkt. 10¢; 14 oz. 25¢. 
194 Premium 
Flat Dutch 
100 days. The largest cabbage we list —10 
to 13 in. across, 5% to 7 in. deep and weigh 
10 lbs. and more. Can of course be use 
when much smaller. Valuable for late fall 
and winter use, especially for kraut and 
winter storage. Interior is well folded. Me- 
dium stem. Pkt. 10¢; 14 oz. 25¢; oz. 40¢. 
The seed crops of some varieties of Cabbage, especially Red and the late Danish Ballhead type, 
were practically failures, so we regret we are unable to offer them this year. 
Chinese or Celery Cabbage 
Not a true cabbage; resembles Cos Lettuce somewnat. May be served like lettuce, 
or, when shredded, makes a delicious cole slaw. Boiled, it is far more palatable than 
ordinary cabbage. Where summers are cool, seed may be sown in early spring, other- 
wise sowings should be made about 3 months before your first expected frost. If 
sown too early, plants will ‘‘bolt’’ during hot weather and not form heads. A packet 
will sow about 25 ft. of row, an oz. about 200 ft. 
214 Chihli © — Earliest maturing, tallest growing 
73 days. Should be largely planted, as it is an early, sure- 
heading Chinese Cabbage, growing 18 to 20 in. tall and 
about 3% to 4in. thick. The firm, well-blanched, white 
heads taper near the top. Leaves are broad, smooth 
and fringed at the edges. For market and roadside 
sales, Chihli is extensively grown because the large, 
attractive heads sell readily; it is the most popular 
for the home garden. Very crisp and tender; 
excellent eating—raw or cooked. 
Pkt. 15¢; 14 oz. 35¢; oz. 60¢. 
212 Pe-Tsai — Medium tall 
78 days. Large Cos Lettuce-like heads, 12 to 14in. 
tall, the inner leaves tightly folded around the thick, 
pure white heart which is well blanched, tender, 
juicy, and has an agreeably pungent flavor either 
eaten raw like lettuce or cooked like cabbage. Desir- 
able for home gardens where a head intermediate in 
size between Chihli and Wong Bok is wanted. 
Pkt. 10¢; 12 oz. 30¢; oz. 50¢. 
Chihli Wong Bok * 211 Wong Bok — Dwarf growing 
Chinese Chinese 78 days. Short, broad, tightly folded, well-blanched heads, 
Cabbage Cabbage 8 to 10 in. high. Excellent quality, crisp and delicious; ten- 
der and juicy. Hearts are suitable for serving as individual 
portions. For home use, its fine quality, tenderness and size 
will be greatly appreciated. Pkt. 10¢; 14 oz. 30¢; oz. 50¢.
