Cabbage 
One ounce for 2000 plants; VYlb. to Yalb. for an acre 
_ For fall crops many growers drill the seed directly 
in the field, later thinning out to the desired spacing 
between plants in the row. This avoids 
all hazard of transplanting and insures 
continued growth during the heat and 
drought of late summer. 
Early Varieties 
Green Acre. (New.) The heads of 
this fine variety are like Golden 
Acre but are larger, greener, and 
a few days later. The uniform, 
Cocina beeDl atl bse ares short- 
stemmed and have few outer 
leaves. The mtense green leaf color 
makes the heads appear fresh Super Strain Golden Acre Cabbage 
and inviting, even after shipping. This often means extra dollars of profit. 
Golden Acre, Super Strain. A very superior Danish-grown strain which we main- 
tain at its high degree of uniformity by special selection. It resembles the old 
Copenhagen Market but the medium-sized, firm heads, 4 to 5 pounds each, 
mature one week earlier than our Early Copenhagen Market. The dwarf, com- 
pact plants, with rather small frame, can be set closely to give a very heavy 
yield of first-quality heads. On yellows-infested land, because of its earliness, it 
often matures and ts fully marketed before the soil becomes warm enough for the 
disease to become active. This strain 1s easily worth the higher cost of the seed. 
Yellows-Resistant Golden Acre. This ts the very earliest round-headed partly 
yellows-resistant variety and is more uniformly true to type than any other. By 
selection, we have increased its earliness so that now It matures very little, 1f any, 
later than our Golden Acre, Super Strain. 
Yellows-Resistant Racine Market. Of Golden Acre size maturing in about 65 days 
after setting plants. The heads are round, compact and solid, dependably un1- 
form and of good gray-green color. Similar i leaf and head type to Copenhagen 
Market. Excellent for early market and shipping. 
Second-Early Varieties 
Copenhagen Market, Midseason. 
Early and gives a heavy yield of larger, solid, uniform heads of high quality. Often com- 
mands a higher market as it matures when the Early strain is at the bursting stage. 
Glory of Enkhuizen. This second-early short-stemmed variety Is very sure-heading 
and of excellent quality. The vigorous plants have quite big, rather spreading, 
curved and frilled outer Ieaves. Its dark green heads are globular, very hard and 
solid, and grow large for so early a variety. Seldom attacked by cabbage worms. 
Yellows-Resistant Glory of Enkhuizen (Globe). Fine variety with nice large, 
uniform, round heads with very short core, maturing a week after Marion Market. 
Yellows-Resistant Copenhagen Market. Matures 2 to 3 weeks after Copenhagen Market 
Early. The almost-round, very hard heads ship perfectly. They stand in the field over a 
long cutting period without bursting, often bemg cut along with the late varieties. 
Yellows-Resistant Marion Market. A heavy yielder of round, very deep, hard heads like 
Copenhagen but the plant is Jarger. Ours Is a very fine strain gaining in use each year.

This matures about a week after Copenhagen Market — 
Savoy Cabbage 
Perfection Drumhead. XXX. The 
hardest-headed, best Savoy. The 
strong plants have but few 
outer leaves growing closely 
about the large, solid, round, 
dark green heads. The leaves 
are heavily crimped or savoyed; 
the flavor is deliciously mild and 
sweet and superior to any other. 
Heads are unusually uniform. 
Late Cabbage 
Danish Roundhead, Short Stem. One of the best-keepimg 
varieties. Heads are round, large, heavy, and very hard. 
Hollander. Vigorous, compact, short-stemmed plants with 
few, upright, large leaves. The very solid, round, medium- 
sized heads ship perfectly and keep well until Jate spring. 
Sure-heading, and very hardy. 
Hollander, Ferry’s. 
Extra-fine with extremely uniform hard, 
round heads, slightly smaller than Hollander, on short stems. 
Likes a good rich soil. Ships very well. 
Penn State Ballhead, Select. A very hard-heading se- 
lection of Danish Ballhead which yields an increased 
tonnage per acre. It may be planted closer because of 
restricted lJeaf-growth. The heads are solid, uniform, 
fine-grained, on short stems, and keep well. Well suited 
to early May seeding, setting plants in early June to ma- 
ture in early September when Cabbage usually brings 
high prices. Much improved over the original strain. 
Yellows-Resistant Wisconsin Ballhead. Matures 10 days ahead of 
Wisconsin Hollander No. 8, is less coarse, more uniform, 
heavier, and very, very highly yellows-resistant. 
Yellows-Resistant Wisconsin Hollander No. 8. The heavy, hard, 
round ‘‘ Ballheads,’’ slightly flattened, are unexcelled for storing, 
shipping and kraut manufacture. Each weighs 7 to 9 pounds. 
Chinese Cabbage

and 4 to 5 inches across, very solid, well
