Noted for its solid uniform heads 
255 Danish Ballhead, 
Harris’ Special Strain 
The Outstanding Short Stem Danish Cabbage 
This is a true short stemmed Danish type that 
we have grown for many years here on our own 
farms. 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

True Stock—Excellent for Storage 
In many cabbage sections, more and more 
growers each year are turning to our stock 
of Penn State Ballhead. It is outstanding 
for its uniform solid heads and the big ton- 
nage it produces per acre. 
The heads are medium size, more flat- 
tened in shape than our Special Strain of 
Danish and they are exceptionally uniform. 
It is an excellent storage type and a heavy 
yielder, making it a most profitable kind 
to grow. 
The stock seed for our crop came directly 
from Dr. Myers at Penn State College, and 
the strain we offer is the best and purest 
obtainable. See prices below. 
256 Danish Ballhead—Short Stem 
Uniform Heavy Yielding Strain 
We consider this strain one of the best and 
evenest stocks of Danish Cabbage we have had 
in our trials for many years. The heads are at- 
tractive in shape, slightly broader and not quite 
as deeply rounded as our special strain. The 
color is more greenish than most Danish and 
the heads are good sized and very solid. The 
tonnage per acre is exceptionally heavy. 
The plants make a remarkably even growth, 
all short stemmed, and practically every one 
produces a fine head. An excellent strain for 
late market and storage. See prices below. 
“We set out 44,000 cabbage plants from the seed 
of Golden Acre Special from you and commenced

vesting them today.”
