CABBAGE—Continued. 
300 Holmes’ Ballhead. (90 days.) Is quite similar to Danish Ball- 
head Short Stem, both as to type and size of foliage as well as head, 
but is nearer perfection in uniformity; in fact, there is no strain of 
Ballhead cabbage equaling it in this respect. It brings a high price 
among the cabbage farmers in the east, who want all the plants in the 
field to look alike and produce the same size and shape of head.

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 varieties 
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 ee es 
with market growers. Pkt., 15c; 144 0z., 35c; oz., 65c; %4 Ib., $2.00. Penn State Ballhead Cabbage

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. Holmes’ Ballhead Cabbage 
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.

bage. Grows 18 to 24 inches tall and 5 to 7 inches in diameter, with
