CABBAGE 
A packet will produce about 250 plants. One ounce of seed will produce 1500 to 2000 plants sown in open ground, 
or 3000 if sown in frames; 14 to % lb. of seed is needed to produce plants for an acre. 
Methods of Culture. To get very early cabbage in the Northern states, 
sow the seed in hot-beds in February or March, or about six weeks before 
the ground outside is ready to receive the plants. For the home garden 
it is often more satisfactory to buy a few dozen plants for early cabbage. 
(See page 82.) For medium early crops, the seed of early kinds may be 
Early and Medium Early Varieties 
GOLDEN ACRE. The Earliest Cabbage. Every garden should 
have some Golden Acre. 
It is not only the earliest cabbage we know but so dependable and 
sure heading that practically every plant makes a perfect head. It is 
ready to use a week earlier than Early Jersey Wakefield and commer- 
cial growers everywhere recognize it as the most profitable early 
market variety. 
The heads are of fine quality, round as a ball and very firm. They are 
medium size, weighing about 4 or 5 lbs., an ideal size for family use. 
For tender, delicious, sweet cabbage, there is no finer type than Golden 
Acre. 
The plants make a neat compact growth with few outer leaves which 
permits them to be set close together. The growth is very uniform and 
the heads are so attractive that home gardeners are always proud of 
their rows of Golden Acre. 
Pkt. 10c; Oz. 60c; 14 Lb. $1.75; Lb. $6.00. 
COPENHAGEN MARKET. Large Heading Strain. This popular 
variety has heads which are larger than Golden Acre and mature about 
10 days later. They are firm, round and grow on compact plants, 
practically every plant making a good head. A profitable cabbage for 
market and excellent for the home garden. 
We regret very much that because of crop failure we cannot offer any seed 
of this variety. We consider the best substitutes to be Golden Acre Yellows 
Resistant or Copenhagen Market Yellows Resistant, both described on 
this page. 
EARLY JERSEY WAKEFIELD. Early Pointed Heads. The heads 
are of conical shape pointed at the top and rounded at the base. They 
make fine firm small heads very early in the season and are of excellent 
quality—tender, crisp and delicious. Highly recommended for home 
gardens and markets which prefer pointed heads. 
Pkt. 10c; Oz. 45c; 14 Lb. $1.20; Lb. $4.00. 
ENKHUIZEN GLORY. One of the best and most popular varieties for 
the home garden and market or kraut. The heads ripen only a week 
later than Copenhagen Market and are large, round and very solid. 
The flavor is remarkably fine. 
Our strain is noted for its earliness and the great uniformity of the 
large heads. Very well liked by many growers and highly recommended. 
Pkt. 10c; Oz. 50c; 14 Lb. $1.35; Lb. $4.50. 
GREEN ACRE. The heads resemble the famous Golden Acre, but are 
larger, greener and mature a few days later. They are very solid and 
stand better than most early kinds without splitting. The plants are 
very compact so they can be planted close together. 
Crop Failed. 
LARGE LATE COPENHAGEN. Fine Kraut Cabbage. Noted for its 
ability to stand a long time without splitting or getting soft. Produces 
large solid heads of fine quality. 
Crop Failed.

sown in the open ground as early as possible and the plants transplanted 
as soon as large enough. They will give cabbage ready for use in August if 
the land is rich and well cultivated. For the late crop the seed should be 
sown in the Northern states about May 20, and the plants set out July 1. 
Early varieties may be sown as late as June 10, and will mature a good crop.

Solid bright green heads. Very early. 
Yellows Resistant Varieties 
Early and Medium Early 
With the increase in the number of localities having trouble with 
“yellows sick’’ soil, yellows resistant varieties should be planted more. 
In many sections they are the only varieties which will succeed. Even if 
the yellows infection is slight, and the ordinary kinds can be grown, the 
yellows resistant varieties usually do better and produce larger crops. 
The yellows resistant varieties have been so improved in the past few 
years, that in nearly all cases they are as true and uniform as the similar 
non-resistant kinds. Our stocks listed below are the best to be had. 
GOLDEN ACRE Yellows Resistant. This stock ripens a few days 
later than Golden Acre and is very uniform in size and shape. The 
heads are a little larger than Golden Acre but have the same fine type. 
This strain can be used with absolute satisfaction wherever early 
cabbage of the Golden Acre type is wanted and in addition will pro- 
duce good crops on “‘yellows” sick soil where regular Golden Acre 
cannot do well. 
Pkt. 10c; Oz. 50c; 14 Lb. $1.50; Lb. $5.00. 
COPENHAGEN MARKET Yellows Resistant. Special Stock. This 
fine yellows resistant variety is extremely uniform and most attrac- 
tive. The heads are of the Copenhagen type but grow larger and 
mature about in season with Marion Market. 
Pkt. 10c; Oz. 60c; 14 Lb. $1.75; Lb. $6.00. 
MARION MARKET, Yellows Resistant Copenhagen 
Type. The heads resemble Copen- 
hagen Market but are larger and mature several days later. The heads 
are round and very solid and the quality is excellent. 
We have a very uniform and true stock of this variety which will 
produce large round heads on land so diseased with yellows that 
other cabbage fails entirely. Our strain grows such fine heads that 
it is used by many growers who have very slight or no yellows 
infection. We highly recommend this excellent cabbage. 
Pkt. 10c; Oz. 50c; 4 Lb. $1.50; Lb. $5.00. 
ENKHUIZEN GLORY Yellows Resistant (Globe). This is an excel- 
lent large kraut type and should replace Enkhuizen Glory on all land 
that is infected with yellows. Our stock is very even, producing large 
uniform heads. 
Pkt. 10c; Oz. 50c; 144 Lb. $1.50; Lb. $5.00. 
ALL SEASONS Yellows Resistant. Produces very large flat heads 
and gives enormous yields. [t is a very hardy type of domestic cabbage 
which stands a long time, and it is especially valuable for kraut growers 
with yellows infected soil as it is highly resistant. 
Pkt. 10c; Oz. 45c; 144 Lb. $1.20; Lb. $4.00.
