CABBAGE 
For early, sow seed in hot beds in December or January, reset in open in February 
or March. For late planting sow seed in open beds and transplant. One ounce will 
produce about 2000 plants. Ten to fifteen thousand plants required to the acre. 
Golden Acre (62-64 days)—Our best early variety with medium size, hard, uniform 
heads. Plants small, heads round, stems short, small outer leaves allow close plant- 
ing. Stands a long time without bursting. 
Copenhagen Market (68-70 days)—-An old dependable in the Pecos Valley for early 
market and shipping. Round heads, solid and of superior quality. Short stem. 
Early Jersey Wakefield (62-64 days)—An extra early variety. Small, compact conical 
heads, 5 inches thick and 7 inches long. 
Evergreen Hollander (90-100 days after setting, plants will make a marketable head)— 
120 days to mature. One of the most popular main crops in the mountain districts. 
A solid medium size head from 5 to 7 pounds. Outer leaves retain green color well and 
protect for long distance shipping. 
Ferry’s Hollander (90-100 days)—A late evergreen. Solid spherical heads that weigh 
6 to 7 lbs. Desirable for high altitude. Good quality, will keep well in storage until 
late spring. 
Danish Ballhead—Matures along with Evergreen Hollander. Solid and compact head 
with medium core. Is appreciated by those who ship and sell by weight. Excellent 
keeper. Does extra well in mountain districts. 
Danish Roundhead (short stem) (90-100 days)—Similar to Ballhead but with shorter 
stem and slightly larger head. Also a good cabbage for the mountain districts. 
Red Rock (100 days)—Forms a round, dark red, solid head about 8 inches in diam- 
eter. The quality is excellent and it keeps well in storage. 
Late Flat Dutch (110 days)—A large, round, flattened and very firm head of a medi- 
um stem. A good cabbage for kraut. 
CHINESE CABBAGE 
Also known as “Chinese Lettuce,” “Odorless Cabbage,” “Celery Cabbage,” etc. Plant 
in fall for best results, does fine on muck land. Do not sow in spring since it will 
bolt to seed, neither does it transplant well. Used in salads sometimes as a substi- 
tute for lettuce. 
Chihili (75 days)—Outside leaves dark green, inside creamy white of fine quality. 
Wong Bok (75 days)—Heads are 8-10 inches tall, broad and firm. Curled leaves, good 
quality. 
Pe tsai (75 days)—Cylindrical tapering head, white tinted with green. Outer leaves 
dark green. 
CAULIFLOWER 
One ounce produces 3000 plants, 6 to 8 ounces per acre. The cultivation is similar to 
that of cabbage. Leaves must be gathered and tied about the head to protect from 
the sun and facilitate bleaching. 
Early Danish Snowball (30 to 35 days from seed to plant) (55 days from plant to 
maturity)—The best all around variety for both home and market garden. Has long 
been the leader in this locality.
