YELLOWS RESISTANT 
STRAINS OF CABBAGE 
Following 1900, crop failures became more frequent in cabbage growing 
sections of the Middle West. Even on land where the crop had been 
grown only a few times, growers were puzzled by the fact that plants 
turned yellow, leaves dropped off at stem and plants died in large num- 
bers even with careful rotation of cabbage with other crops. Once this 
diseased condition appeared there seemed to be no effective cure or pre- 
vention by rotation, seed or soil treatment, and the only course left was 
to abandon such fields as “Cabbage sick.” The varieties described below 
have proven ‘their real worth in districts where it has been impossible to 
grow cabbage of more common varieties in the past few years.
