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 varleticn 
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. 
316 Bugner. (100 days.) Because it is yellows-resistant, this old va- 
riety 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 0z., 35c; oz., 65c; %4 Ib., $2.00. 
318 Golden Acre. (Yellows-Resistant.) (64 days.) Crop failed. 
321 Marion Market. (75 days.) (Yellows-Resistant Copenhagen.) 
Resistant to “yellows.” Early, round head, short stem. Excellent 
quality. Use Marion Market if you are bothered with disease. A sure 
header. Pkt., 10c; 1% 02., 35c; 0z., 65c; 14 Ihb., $2.00. 
325 Wisconsin All Season. (90 days.) (Yellows-Resistant.) Very 
valuable in localities 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; oz., 50c; % Ib, $1.85. 
327 Wisconsin Hollander No. 8. (100 days.) (Yellows-Resistant.) 
Splendid late cabbage for storage, shipment and kraut manufacture on 
land infested so badly with the “yellows” disease that other varieties 
failed completely. Heads large, globular, very firm. Keeps well until 
spring. Pkt., 10c; 1% 0z., 35c; 02Z., 65c; 4 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. 
335 Chihli. (70 days.) This is the grand new strain of Chinese cab- 
bage. 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; 4%4 0z., 25c; 0z., 50c; %4 Ib., $1.85. 
SWISS CHARD 
A packet will sow 15 feet of row; 1 ounce 50 feet. 
259 Rhubarb Chard. (60 days.) This new chard has the same color- 
ing as Rhubarb. The stalks are a bright crimson which extends up 
through the veins into the dark, glossy green, heavily crumpled leaves. 
Very ornamental, making a striking color note in the garden and it 
has a distinctly delicate flavor of its own. Pkt., 15c; 02., 45c. 
256 LARGE GREEN WHITE-RIBBED. (55 days.) 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; oz., 25c; %4 1b., 85c; 44 Tb., 91.25.
