Cabbage 
One ounce of seed should produce 3000 plants. 5 ounces is sufficient for an acre. For earlier crop start seeding 
in hotbed in Feb., cover seed 4" deep, transplant in April. For late crop start seed in May or June outdoors, in 
good rich soil and transplant in July. Transplant when 4''-6" high. Deep rooting will resist drought, so in 
setting out plants, cover to the first leaf stems. It is best to plan for cabbage to mature at various times through 
the season by planting different kinds or not all at the same time. Rows should be 2'—2}' apart with 18”’ between 
plants. The number of Days gives relative period to maturity from setting out plants. Allowa 
month additional from time seed is started. 
Wisconsin Yellows-Resistant Cabbage varieties were introduced by the Wisconsin Agricultural 
Experimental Station to combat the tremendous crop failures at the beginning of this century, 
and have proven to meet their requirements to prevent the disease commonly known as ‘‘Yellows,”’ 
Or sometimes called ‘‘Wilt.’’ 
All Head Early—78 Days. Very hardy, large, flat, 
short stem, solid head, early for its size. Few out- 
side leaves, consequently can be planted closer to- 
gether than most other large Cabbages. A reliable 
sort, wellnamed. One of the best of the intermediate 
varieties. It is one of those varieties which can be 
planted early in the Spring as well as for late 
Autumn. One of the best Cabbages on the market. 
BLOOMSDALE LARGE LATE DRUMHEAD— 
100 Days. A larger heavy head, smooth-leaved, late 
ripening Cabbage. No strain is superior and few 
equal to this. Head is thick, broad, solid, flat. 
Leaves extend well over the center leaves of the head 
and fold down alternately, forming a tight, compact 
head. We cannot 
too highly recom- 
mend this strain 
of Large Late 
Drumhead, but be 
careful to plant 
it in a suitable 
location. 
BLOOMSDALE 
LARGE LATE 
FLAT DUTCH 
—100 Days. The 
original strain of 
this cabbage was 
obtained. by us 
from Swedish gar- 
deners who settled 
in Philadelphia 
previous to the 
Revolutionary 
War. Ever since 
that time we have 
been continually 
reselecting this 
Cabbage; we now 
believe it is second 
to none of this 
type. It is late, 
produces large solid, weighty, very uniform heads 
and is the best cropper. 
Charleston or ‘Large Wakefield—73 Days. A 
large, flattish variation of the pointed early Jersey 
Wakefield. Heads are half round, later than the 
Jersey Wakefield by about 10 days and 40 to 50% 
larger. This variety is also extremely popular with 
market gardeners, owing to its earliness and its size. 
Copenhagen Market—67 Days. The plants are 
very vigorous, short, stout stems, few outer leaves, 
DD Uonduth Seed Ce. 

Drumhead Savoy . 
These strains have been successful in combating this disease. 
producing a very hard, round head, very uniform in 
size and of long keeping qualities. In maturity 
slightly larger and later than Golden Acre. Pro- 
oe a greater tonnage per acre and is very profit- 
able. 
Danish Round Head Short Stem—103 Days. 
This variety is considered by many the most 
popular ballhead, having a shorter stem, and is a 
little earlier than the tall stem; much superior. It 
produces a very solid, good quality medium size 
round head and is very popular with the market 
gardeners in Cabbage growing districts of northern 
latitudes. The best late Cabbage. 
Drumhead Savoy—90 Days. The best of its 
class, is as palat- 
able as a Cauli- 
flower. One of 
the best short 
stalk Cabbages 
one Can grow. 
Large size, deep 
green, flat heads, 
curly or crinkled 
leaves. 
Early Dwarf Flat 
Dutch—90Days. 
This variety pro- 
duces thick leaves, 
very dark blue in 
color. Succeeds 
admirably in 
Southern States 
on account of its 
ability to resist 
heat. 
Early Jersey 
Wakefield—63 
Days. A short 
stemmed, hardy, 
early cone-shaped 
heading variety, broad at the bottom with a pointed 
peak, the leaves leathery and well folded over the 
top. 
Golden Acre—65 Days. Here we have an acquisi- 
tion, for seed of this variety planted at the same 
time will mature 5 days earlier than Early Jersey 
Wakefield, besides being larger and much more 
showy. Plant dwarf, compact. Few outer leaves. 
Heads very solid; earlier but smaller than Copen- 
hagen. It is conical in shape, short stem and almost 
rests on the ground.
