CABBAGE 
A packet will produce about 250 plants. One ounce of seed will produce 1500 to 2000 plants sown in open ground, or 3000 if sown in frames; 
14 lb. of seed is needed to produce plants for an acre. 
Methods of Culture. To get very early cabbage sow the seed in 
hot-beds about six weeks before the ground outside is ready. For the 
home garden it is often easier to buy plants for early cabbage. (See page 
74.) For medium early crops, sow in the open ground as early as possible 
and transplant as soon as large enough. For the late crop and storage 
the seed should be sown in the Northern states about May 20, and the 
plants set out July 1. Early varieties may be sown as late as June 10, 
and will mature a good crop.

250 COPENHAGEN MARKET. Early Strain. Universally 
popular variety for home 
use and market wherever early cabbage is grown. The heads of this 
strain are slightly larger and a few days later than Golden Acre, and 
have the same compact habit of growth which permits close planting. 
We recommend this early strain for its uniform medium sized heads 
and dependable yields.

for the home garden and market or kraut. The heads ripen ten days 
after Copenhagen and are very large, round and solid. The flavor is 
remarkably fine, making this one of the leading kraut varieties. 


Marion Market—Yellows Resistant Type, for Market or Kraut. 
281 MARION MARKET. Yellows Resistant Copenhagen 
Type. The heads resemble Copen- 
hagen Market but are larger and mature several days later. The heads 
are round and very solid and the quality is excellent. 
We have a very uniform and true stock of this variety which will 
produce large round heads on land so diseased with yellows that other 
cabbage fails entirely. Our strain grows such fine heads that it is used 
by many growers who have very slight or no yellows infection. We 
highly recommend this excellent cabbage.

excellent large kraut type and should replace Enkhuizen Glory on all 
land that is infected with yellows. Our stock is very even, producing 
large uniform heads.

242 ALL SEASONS. Yellows Resistant. Produces very large flat heads

Late or Danish Calbtage 
255 DANISH BALLHEAD. Harris’ Special Strain. This is our own stock of 
Danish cabbage, produced by careful breeding and 
selection here on our own farm. It is the same strain that we formerly sold as Harris’ Ball- 
head and is now much improved for uniformity and excellent type. Heads round, very hard 
and keep well in storage. See also full description on page 3.

285 PENN STATE BALLHEAD. True Stock. Originated at the Pennsylvania State College 
and has become the favorite of thousands in many cabbage growing sections. It is a very 
uniform short stem Danish type producing a heavy tonnage per acre and it keeps excep- 
tionally well in storage. The heads are more flattened in shape than our Special Strain, and 
are medium sized, very hard and of attractive bright green color. 
The seed we offer this year was grown directly from stock seed supplied by the Pennsyl- 
vania State College and is the purest, finest strain obtainable. We highly recommend it.

295 WISCONSIN HOLLANDER. Yellows Resistant Danish Type. This strain is the 
best Danish cabbage to grow if the soil shows any yellows infection. Under normal con- 
ditions it produces good crops on diseased land where other Danish cabbage fails entirely 
and has proved to be a very profitable type. The heads are uniform, as round as a ball 
and very deep green with a purple or bluish tint on the edges. The plants are of strong, 
healthy growth and the yields are heavy.

cabbage. This variety is immensely popular with market and home gardeners alike. It is 
very dark red in color, firm and solid, and produces excellent crops under normal conditions. 
Our strain is very reliable and uniform, and will produce the finest heads. Widely used for 
pickling and cole slaw, and keeps well in storage. 
With this strain red cabbage is a highly profitable kind to grow, as it is always in demand 
and usually sells for more than green cabbage.
