For early crops of early varieties, seed may be sown 
inside from February 15th to March 15th. For the 
main crop, the seed should be sown in the open April 
5th to May 15th. Transplanting distances should 
vary from 18 to 24 inches in the row, depending on 
the size of the mature heads. Rows should be 30 to 
36 inches apart. 
For the best early variety we recommend Golden 
Acre. Foramidseason sauerkraut cabbage use Glory 
of Enkhuizen or Marion Market. For Winter 
storage Robson Danish Ballhead is best but do not 
overlook Chieftain Savoy; try it this year and you 
will plant Chieftain Savoy every year. 
EARLY VARIETIES 
*xGOLDEN ACRE: 65 days. For early market. 
Produces uniform round heads weighing from 2 to 4 
pounds. Golden Acre is a small early strain of 
Copenhagen Market, and is a money maker in years 
when there is a high early market. Pkt. 15 cts.; 
oz. 60 cts.; % lb. $2.10; lb. $6.95; 5 Ibs. $33.50. 
EARLY COPENHAGEN MARKET: 75 days. There 
are a great many different strains of Copenhagen 
Market. We have selected for a medium size, mid- 
season Copenhagen Heads are solid and round

uniformly good as any strain on the market; in fact, 
we are rather proud of it. Pkt. 15 cts.; oz. 55 cts.; 
1% Ib. $1.65; Ib. $5.50; 5 Ibs. $26.25.

MIDSEASON VARIETIES 
LARGE LATE COPENHAGEN: 90 days. Another 
good old variety that has not been grown successfully 
here during the war but is now available. Our 
Large Late Copenhagen is primarily a “kraut” 
cabbage, growing too large for most markets. Plants 
are large and spreading; heads round, heavy, usually 
weighing 10 to 12 Ibs. Should be set early to insure 
largest tonnage. Pkt. 15 cts.; oz. 55 cts.; % lb. 
$1.65; Ib. $5.50; 5 Ibs. $26.25. 
GLORY OF ENKHUIZEN: 85 days. This late ““Do- 
mestic’’ cabbage is the standard “Kraut” variety. 
Grows too large for shipping trade. Heads are 
large, weighing from 8 to 10 pounds, round, solid, 
with few outer leaves; of excellent quality. Pkt. 
15 cts.; oz. 50 cts.; % Ib. $1.50; Ib. $5.00; 5 Ibs. 
$23.70. 
RED OR PURPLE VARIETIES 
RED ACRE: 74 days. The earliest red variety that 
we have ever tested. Red Acre originated in Europe 
and the supply of seed has been cut off by the war.

to arrive in the country early in 1946. Plants small, 
compact, short stemmed; heads medium size, round, 
hard and good red color. Pkt. 15 cts.; oz. 65 cts.; 
1% Ib. $2.10; lb. $6.95; 5 Ibs. $33.50. 
MAMMOTH ROCK RED: 100 days. The best 
known red or purple variety. Produces a larger 
head than Red Danish but not quite as deep a purple 
color. Variety usually used for pickled cabbage.

Ibs. $31.00. 
RED DANISH BALLHEAD: 100 days. Smaller 
plant than Mammoth Rock Red; stem medium, 
leaves purple; heads 4 to 6 Ibs., solid, purplish red 
color, round, flattened at top. Stores well. Pkt.
