255 Danish Ballhead, Harris’ Special Strain 
The Outstanding Short Stem Danish Cabbage 
(See photo on back cover) 
This is the same excellent strain that we formerly offered as Harris Ballhead. It is a true short 
stemmed Danish type that we have grown for many years here on our own farms. We can now 
confidently say that it is the best strain of Danish cabbage obtainable. 
The heads are rounder than most Danish, with an attractive bright green color, slightly tinged 
with purple. It is very uniform, extremely solid and just the right size for market and shipping, 
averaging about five to six pounds in weight. The vigor and great uniformity of this strain make it 
the most consistently heavy yielder we know. In addition it has proved to be a very superior 
keeper, coming out of storage in excellent shape. 
The seed we offer was grown directly from our latest and finest selected stock seed produced 
here on our own farm. If you want the best Danish, grow Harris’ Special Strain. See prices below.
