Brussels Sprouts 
One ounce makes about 2000 plants. 
A vegetable of the cabbage family which is 
largely used in the fall. It should be more 
largely grown in home gardens. It produces 
stalks about 2 feet high, which are covered with 
small heads resembling miniature cabbage. 
These are cooked and served like cabbage and 
are very tender and delicious. 
Culture. Same as for late cabbage, but 
plants are set closer together. 
61 LONG ISLAND IMPROVED. (90 days.) 
A semi-dwarf variety and one of the best. 
Pkt., 15c; 4% oz., 50c; 0z., 85c. 
CABBAGE CHOICE SELECTED STOCKS 
Culture. For earliest plants the seed is sown in hotbeds from January to 
March. To make the best plants, sow early and transplant to cold frames. 
Then at the end of March or the first of April transplant to the garden. 
One ounce makes about 2000 plants. 
Four ounces make plants enough for one acre. 
The number of days indicated give relative period from maturity from 
setting of plants. 
Broccoli 
60 GREEN SPROUTING. (60 days.) The 
truest heading strain. A packet will produce 
about 200 plants; an ounce about 2000. 
Broccoli is grown the same as cabbage or 
eauliflower. Simply sow the seed in the open 
ground in May and transplant the plants 
when large enough. Plant forms a large, 
solid head which remains green. When the 
central head is cut, numerous sprouts de- 
velop from the leaf axils, each sprout termi- 
nating in small, green heads. A _ popular 
delicacy for the entire family. 
Pkt., 15c; 144 0z., 35c; oz., 60c.

Red Cabbage 
82 MAMMOTH RED ROCK, (90 dzays.) 
Medium Early Varieties 
72 ALL SEASONS. (90 days.) One of the 
weather. Our stock seed is selected rigidly and 
continuously for type and resistance. We offer 
only first generation seed from such stock. 
62 WISCONSIN ALL SEASONS. (90 
days.) Recommended for “‘yellows’’ sick soil 
where the flatter type of domestic cabbage is 
wanted for kraut, etc. A uniform stock pro- 
ducing large crops and very highly resistant, 
Pkt., 15c; 1% oz., 35c; oz., 60c. 
63 WISCONSIN GOLDEN ACRE Yellows 
Resisant. (64 days.) True to type and ear- 
liness and in addition will produce good crops 
on “yellows’’ sick soil where regular Golden 
Acre cannot do well. 
PkKt., 15c; 14 02., 40c; 0z., 70c. 
64 MARION MARKET. (75 days.) Highly 
resistant to yellows; round head, short stem, 
will permit close planting. Earliest of all 
yellows-resistant varieties selected from Co- 
penhagen Market. 
Pkt., 15c; 4% oz., 30c; oz., 50c. 
65 WISCONSIN HOLLANDER. (100 days.) 
This is a strain of Hollander or Danish Ball- 
head. A heavy yielding, round head, deep 
green, with a purple or bluish tint on the 
edges. 
PEt., 15c; 14 02z., 35c; oz., 65c. 
Early Varieties 
66 GOLDEN ACRE. (64 days.) This is an 
early, round-headed Cabbage which closely 
resembles Copenhagen Market in type. As 
its name implies, it is a money-maker. It is 
earlier than Copenhagen Market but is small- 
er and can be planted closer. Because of its 
earliness and fine quality, it commands a 
higher price than any round-headed Cabbage. 
Pkt., 10c; 14 02Z., 30c; oz., 50c. 
67 EARLY JERSEY WAKEFIELD. (66 
days.) One of the earliest and by far the 
surest heading of first early Cabbages. Most 
gardeners depend upon it entirely for their 
extra early crop. It is exceedingly hardy, 
resists cold and unfavorable conditions and is 
the most likely to yield satisfactory results. 
Plants are compact, with erect conical heads 
_and few outer leaves. Stems short; heads of 
medium size, very solid and of excellent 
quality. 
Pkt., 10c; % oz., 30c; oz., 50c. 
69 COPENHAGEN MARKET. (68 days.) 
The heads are exceptionally large and it has 
a very short stem and few outer leaves—a 
most excellent sort for home gardens and 
market gardeners. On account of extreme 
earliness, it is destined to become one of the 
leading sorts grown, as a flat Cabbage fills 
barrels or crates faster than sharp head Cab- 
bage and will yield the grower more returns. 
Pkt., 10c; 14 02., 30c; 0z., 50c. 
largest and a thoroughly satisfactory second 
early sort. Plants are vigorous, sure head- 
ing; leaves large and smooth. This is a first- 
class sort both for early and late planting 
and is especially adapted for kraut. It is 
well adapted to stand the hot sun and ad- 
verse conditions. 
Pkt., 10c; % oz., 30c; 02z., 50c. 
73 EARLY DWARF FLAT DUTCH. (84 
days.) A variety which has long been popular 
among growers, both for home use and mar- 
kets. The heads are borne on short stems 
and are very large, solid, and nearly flat on 
top. Practically every plant will form a 
good, solid head which will mature earlier 
than Late Flat Dutch. 
Pkt., 10c; 1% 02., 30c; 0z., 50c. 
Main Crop Varieties 
77 PREMIUM LATE FLAT DUTCH. (105 
days. A very superior strain of this well- 
known, popular Cabbage which is exceptional- 
ly reliable for main crop planting. It is short 
stemmed; has rather large, early leaves, and 
produces uniformly large, flat, deep, solid 
heads of splendid quality. It is an excellent 
keeper and can be relied upon as thoroughly 
satisfactory. 
Pkt., 10c; % oz., 30c; 0z., 50c. 
79 DANISH BALLHEAD. (95 days.) It 
produces very large, solid heads, which are 
globular in shape, has few but rather large, 
thick, bluish green leaves. Heads are borne 
on short stems, are of medium size, round, 
very solid, and stand shipment better than 
any other late sort. One of the very best 
keepers and much desired for kraut. 
Pkt., 15c; 1% 0z., 35c; 0oz., 60C. 
81 PERFECTION DRUMHEAD SAVOY. 
(90 days.) Too little attention is paid to 
the Savoy Cabbages. It is used almost en- 
tirely for late planting and attains its great- 
est perfection in flavor after frost, when it 
becomes as tender and even more delicious 
than cauliflower. The heads are of medium 
size, borne on short stems, and not as large 
as the ordinary late Cabbage, hence will stand 
closer planting. Our stock of this is Ameri- 
can grown and will produce uniformly large 
heads for this variety. We strongly recom- 
mend it to be more extensively grown both 
for home use and market.

GARDEN BULBS IN COLOR—275 Color Pictures. By McFarland. 
Price: $2.49, Postpaid. 

A variety used mainly for pickles and sauer- 
kraut. It is highly esteemed. 
Pkt., 15c; 144 0z., 35c; oz., 60c. 
Chinese Cabbage 
Also called “Celery Cabbage.” 
An ounce of seed will sow 40 to 50 feet of 
row. 
This vegetable of the cabbage family has 
become extremely popular. The large mid-ribs 
of the leaves are perfectly white and very 
crisp and tender. It is excellent when used as a 
salad, being of a very delicate flavor slightly 
resembling raw cabbage but more delicious. It 
is so easily raised that everyone who has a 
garden should enjoy it. 
The seed should be sown not earlier than the 
first of July in rows 214 feet apart, and the 
plants thinned 18 to 20 inches apart in the 
rows. If sown early it soon runs to seed and 
is useless. 
83 CHIHILI. (70 days.) This is the earliest 
variety of Chinese Cabbage and heads more 
evenly than any other kind. The heads are 
pointed, very firm, and when matured are 
often 18 inches long, blanched pure white 
inside and are of very fine quality. Chilhili 
is rapidly superseding the older varieties, as 
the attractive heads sell readily, making this 
a very profitable crop to grow. Our strain 
of Chilhili is very uniform. 
Pkt., 10c; 14 0z., 25c; 0z., 45c.
