Cabbage 
One ounce for 2000 plants; Ylb. to Y2lb. 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, 
compact plants are _ short- 
stemmed and have few outer 
leaves. The intense green leaf color <a ~ 
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 3 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 1s fully marketed before the soil becomes warm enough for the 
disease to become active. This strain is easily worth the higher cost of the seed, 
Yellows-Resistant Golden Acre. This is 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, if any, 
Jater 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 uni- 
form and of good gray-green color. Similar in leaf and head type to Copenhagen 
Market. Excellent for early market and shipping. 
Copenhagen Market. The round, solid heads, Iarger than Golden Acre, are of fine 
quality and very uniform. The light green leaves fold tightly over one another. 
Plants are short-stemmed, with heads just above the ground.

Second-Early Varieties 
Yellows-Resistant Glory of Enkhuizen (Globe). 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 Jeaves. Its dark green heads 
are round with very short core, very hard and solid, and large for so early a va- 
riety, maturing a week after Marion Market. Seldom attacked by cabbage worms. 
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 being cut along with the late varieties. 
Yellows-Res stant Marion Market. A heavy yielder of round, very deep, hard heads like 
Copenhagen but the plant is larger. Ours Is a very fine strain gaining In use each year. 
Because of Red Cabbage Varieties 
short crop 
we are Red Acre. The very earliest deep red; extremely uniform and sure heading. 
Matures just after Copenhagen. Has shape and size of Golden Acre. 
Mammoth Rock Red. Largest, late sort with solid round, dark red heads. 
Yellows-Resistant Red Hollander. Late, and fine for storing. A heavy 
yielder and sure header. Not as large as Mammoth Rock Red but darker.

sweet and superior to any other. 
Heads are unusually uniform. 
Late Cabbage 
Danish Roundhead, Short Stem. One of the best-keeping 
varieties. Heads are round, large, heavy, and very hard. 
Hollander. Vigorous, compact, short-stemmed plants with 
few, upright, largeleaves. The very solid, round, medium- 
sized heads ship perfectly and keep well until late 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 Type. A very hard-heading selection 
of Danish Ballhead which yields an increased tonnage 
per acre. It may be planted closer because of restricted 
leaf-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 mature m early 
September when Cabbage usually brings high prices. 
Excellent for kraut. 
Yellows-Resistant Bugner’s. A very heavy-yielding variety with 
slightly flattened round, very solid, heavy heads that are larger 
and later than Penn State Ballhead. 
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.
