Penn State Ballhead 
Heavy Yielding Danish Cabbage 
This variety is a great favorite in 
many cabbage growing sections. It is a 
short stemmed type originated by the 
Pennsylvania State College and is noted 
for its solid heads and the big tonnage 
which it produces per acre. 
The heads are medium size, slightly 
flattened in shape (see photo to the right) 
and of attractive bright green color. They 
are excellent for market because of the 
solidness and fine appearance of the heads 
and they keep very well in storage. 
We have a fine true stock of this 
popular type which we recommend to our Penn State Ballhead 
customers. See prices below. These heads are very firm and hard. 
Danish Ballhead (Short Stem) 
For Late Crop and Storage 
This is a most excellent strain of the true short stemmed Danish cabbage. It is a very heavy 
yielding stock producing large crops. 
The heads are very uniform for size and shape and of fine appearance. They are very firm and 
solid making this one of the best kinds to grow for late market and storage. See prices below. 
Harris’ Ballhead 
Harris’ Ballhead is famous for its consistently heavy yields. It is a very vigorous stock, pro- 
ducing uniform hard solid heads with great regularity. The heads are round, usually about 5 to 6 
Ibs. in weight, greener than most Danish, with a slight tinge of purple. Because of its attractive 
appearance and superior keeping qualities Harris’ Ballhead commands the best prices and often 
sells when the market is slow. See prices below. Crop very short.
