YELLOWS RESISTANT 
STRAINS OF CABBAGE 
Following 1900, crop failures became more frequent in cabbage growing 
sections of the Middle West. Even on land where the crop had 
been 
grown only a few times, growers were puzzled by the fact that plants 
turned yellow, leaves dropped off at stem and plants died in large num- 
bers even with careful rotation of cabbage with other crops. Once this 
diseased condition appeared there seemed to be no effective cure or pre- 
vention by rotation, seed or soil treatment, and the only course left was 
to abandon such fields as “Cabbage sick.” The varieties described below 
have proven their real worth in districts where it has been impossible to 
grow cabbage of more common varieties in the past few years. 
YELLOWS EARLY RESISTANT 
GOLDEN ACRE, absolutely a new 
variety, which has been bred out of 
the Golden Acre, but has been en- 
tirely satisfactory in the last two 
years in many parts of the country. 
We have found it to be as early as 
the early strains of Copenhagen 
and yet as resistant as any of the 
other varieties of cabbage, which 
are bred with a thought of produc- 
ing a crop on infested soils. 
Our stock is limited on this va- 
riety and we would suggest that 
you place your orders early. 
WISCONSIN ALL SEASONS—$94 
Days—A yellows resistant strain of 
All Seasons. Valuable in sections 
which are infested with cabbage 
yellows or wilt. Coarser plants than 
the original All Seasons. A good 
Winter keeper, producing large, 
flat, deep hard heads. 
MARION MARKET OR NEW RE- 
SISTANT WISCONSIN COPEN- 
HAGEN—90 Days—This is a yel- 
lows resistant strain of Copen- 
hagen Market. Plants large, coarse, 
not so uniform or early by ten days 
as the original Copenhagen, but 
have solid, crisp, tender, round 
heads. Will produce a crop when 
non-resistant strains fail. 
YELLOWS RESISTANT BUG- 
NER’S SHORT STEM, extremely 
popular wherever planted, our 
strain of seed is a production of 
the originator’s stock seed. This 
variety produces large, semi-round 
heads. It is disease resistant and 
will take trifle more space to grow 
than other varieties, should not be 
set closer than 2% by 3 feet. 
WISCONSIN No. 8, a yellows re- 
sistant strain of the Danish Ball- 
head, desirable for growing in sec- 
tions infected with this disease. 
Plants are somewhat larger, more 
leafy and spreading than the Ball- 
head, but heads are fully as firm, 
compact and long keeping. 
DANISH BALLHEAD SHORT 
STEM; (Yellows Resistant) A de- 
sirable new strain which produces 
excellent crops on soil infested with 
cabbage “yellows.” Keeps well, is of 
fine texture, and matures slightly 
earlier than Wisconsin No. 8. 
GLOBE, a yellows resistant type of 
the well known Glory of Enkhui- 
zen, having about the same size 
head as the Glory. The most pop- 
ular of all the yellows resistant va- 
rieties. We sell more of Globe than 
all others. 
EVERGREEN HOLLANDER— 
Latest introduction in the disease 
resistant cabbages. A fine strain of 
Hollander, heads well rounded, 
solid, and dark green color. More 
resistant to yellows than any other 
late varieties of cabbages.
