Yellows-Resistant Cabbage Seed 
_ Since many farms have “yellows sick” soil, yellows-resistant varie- 
ties should be planted more, In many sections they are the only varieties 
be Pa 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 below are the best—none better.
