A large acreage of red or purple cabbage is grown in Ontario County for processing into pickled cabbage. 
Mammoth Rock Red is the 
variety commonly used. Howard Sprague and “‘Joe’”’ Robson inspect an especially fine field of Robson Rock Red while Von poses for 
his picture. 
LATE VARIETIES 
*xROBSON DANISH BALLHEAD: 100 days. A 
special strain of Danish Ballhead bred for New York 
and adjoining States. This is our own strain, the 
stock seed for which was produced in our breeding 
plots from carefully selected individual plants. Rob- 
son Danish Ballhead is vigorous, has a medium short 
stem, produces very solid well shaped head for stor- 
age. [he heads average 4 to 6 lbs. under normal 
growing conditions. Pkt. 15 cts.;0z. 65 cts.; % lb. 
$2.00; lb. $7.10; 5 Ibs. $34.25. 
DANISH BALLHEAD: 100 days. The standard 
variety for storing for winter use. Heads ordinarily 
will weigh from 4 to 6 pounds. Under exceptionally 
good conditions many weigh up to 10 pounds. The 
heads are slightly flattened, ball shape, solid and 
heavy. This Danish Ballhead is short to medium 
stemmed and yields much better than the long stem- 
med strains. This is not seed of our own growing 
but is similar in type to Robson Danish Ballhead.

under favorable growing conditions but in drought

This treatment protects 
College of Agriculture. ( 
against seed borne diseases such as black rot which 
was so prevalent last season. 

YELLOWS RESISTANT VARIETIES 
These varieties have been bred for yellows resistance 
but do not produce quite as uniform heads as other 
varieties. We advise their use in old cabbage growing 
sections where the disease called “‘yellows”’ is known 
to be in the soil. 
* MARION MARKET: 80 days. This is the best of 
the early round headed yellows resistant varieties. 
The head resembles Copenhagen Market but is 
larger. The seed we are offering has been field 
tested and is uniform and yellows resistant. Pkt. 15 
oe 60 cts.; % lb. $1.80; lb. $6.00; 5 Ibs. 
2835/9. 
WISCONSIN ALLSEASON: 95 days. A large cab- 
bage suitable for sauerkraut. Many growers have 
reported very heavy yields from this variety. Wis- 
consin Allseason is a late maturing variety and 
should be transplanted early if maximum yields are 
to be obtained. Heads commonly 10 to 12 in. 
across, 8” deep and weigh 9 to 10 lbs. Pkt. 15 cts.; 
oz. 55 cts.; % lb. $1.80; lb. $6.00; 5 Ibs. $28.75. 
WISCONSIN BALLHEAD: 95 days. A new yellows 
resistant Danish type cabbage. Produces good 
crops under favorable conditions and keeps well 
in storage. Only recommended for badly infested 
soils where Danish Ballhead has failed. Not as 
uniform and will not usually yield as well as Danish 
Ballhead. Pkt. 15 cts.; oz. 60 cts.; % lb. $1.80; 
lb. $6.00; 5 Ibs. $28.75.
