CABBAGE—Continued. 
DANISH BALLHEAD (Short Stem). A leader among Cabbage for win- 
ter because of its solid hard head and excellent keeping qualities. 
It has a distinctly larger and heavier head than Special Hollander. 
The heads are round, uniform in shape, size and color. Average weight 
per head 6% pounds. We recommend Danish Ballhead Short Stem to 
particular growers. Pkt., 10c; 1% oz., 35c; 0z., 65c; 14 lb., $2.00. 
MAMMOTH ROCK RED. This is the largest and best of the red types. 
This carefully bred strain we offer produces fine, large, solid heads of 
good color. Pkt., 10c; 14 oz., 35c; oz., 60c; % I1b., $1.85. 
Savoy Chieftain. rxcelient early strain for home and market gar- 
den. Heads medium size, short-stemmed, compact, uniformly Savoyed. 
Dark olive-green color. Very firm. Stand a long time without bursting. 
Pkt., 10c; 44 0z., 35c; oz., 60c; 14 1b., $1.75. Z 
IMPROVED AMERICAN SAVOY. Here is a Savoy that will please the 
more particular gardener. Our strain has been bred for market garden 
purposes, is dark, densely curled and exceptionally hard-heading. It 
never fails to satisfy. 
Pkt., 10c; 14 02z., 35c; oz., 60c; 1% 1b., $1.75. 
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 
which 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. 
Bugner. Because it is yellows-resistant, this old variety is becoming 
more in demand. It is later than Danish Ballhead, and has larger and 
more flattened heads. A heavy producer. Popular with market growers. 
Pkt., 15c; 14 02., 35c; oz., 65c. 
Golden Acre. (Yellows-Resistant.) This strain developed from Golden 
Acre. It is the same type as Golden Acre Special, 3 to 4 days later. We 
recommend planting it on soils infested with yellows. Produces heads 
ready for cutting two weeks earlier than Marion Market. It is a uni- 
form strain, maturing very early. 
Crop failed. 
Marion Market. (Yellows-Resistant Copenhagen.) Resistant to “yel- 
lows.” Early, round head, short stem. Excellent quality. Use Marion 
Market if you are bothered with disease. A sure header. 
Pkt., 10c; 1% 02z., 35c; 0z., 65c; 14 Ib., $2.C0. 
Wisconsin All Season. (Yellows-Resistant.) Very valuable in local- 
ities infested with the disease known as “cabbage yellows.” Used for 
kraut, also valuable for winter keeping. Heads large, 10 to 12 inches 
across, 8 inches deep and weigh 9 to 10 pounds. 
Pkt., 10c; 4% 0z., 30c; 02., 50c; %4 1b., $1.85. 
Wisconsin Hollander No. 8. (Yellows-Resistant.) Splendid late 
cabbage for storage, shipment and kraut manufacture on land infested 
so badly with the “yellows” disease that other varieties failed com- 
pletely. Heads large, globular, very firm. Keeps well until spring. 
Pkt., 10c; 14%40z., 35c; oz., 65c; 14 lb., $2.00. 
Wisconsin Ballhead. (Yellows-Resistant.) A new strain which pro- 
duces excellent crops on soil infested with ‘“‘yellows.’’ Keeps well, is of 
fine texture and matures earlier and has a smaller head than Wis- 
consin No. 8. 
Pkt., 10c; 144 0z., 35c; oz., 65c; 14 lb., $2.00. 
Chinese Cabbage 
A packet will sow 30 feet of row; 1 ounce 200 to 300 feet; 4 ounces per acre. 
We advise that the seed be sown in July or August (not earlier) be- 
cause Chinese cabbage has a tendency to bolt to seed in warm weather. 
Sow where the plants are to remain in rows 2% feet apart, 18 inches 
apart in the row. It is very easily grown and takes very little space. 
The crop matures in from 8 to 10 weeks. 
Chihli. This is the grand new strain of Chinese cabbage. Grows 18 to 
24 inches tall and 5 to 7 inches in diameter, with straight and narrow 
crown. Interior bleaches creamy white, crisp and delicious. It is a 
good keeper and shipper. We have proven seed. 
Pkt., 10c; 1% 02., 25c; oz., 50c; %4 1b., $1.85. 
WONG BOK. This is a shorter and more solid head than the Pe-Tsai 
variety. Has a deliciously mild flavor, and the pale green, closely 
wrapped leaves blanch to almost pure white. 
Pkt., 10c; 144 02., 25c; oz., 50c; 4 1b., $1.85. 
SWISS CHARD 
A packet will sow 15 feet of row; 1 ounce 50 feet. 
LARGE GREEN WHITE-RIBBED. The best selling sort on the market. 
It is a big improvement over the Lucullus varieties; the leaf is green 
and curly. It also has a much better flavor than the Lucullus sorts. 
Commercial growers claim this will out-sell any other kind. 
Pkt., 10c; 02., 25c; 44 lb., 85c; % Ihb., $1.25.
