Cabbage 
One ounce for 2000 plants; Ylb. to Y2lb. for an acre 
For fall crops many growers drill the seed directly 
in the fie d, later thinning out to the desired spacing 
between plants in the row. This avoids 
all hazard of transplanting and insures 
continued growth during the heat and 
drought of late summer. 
Early Varieties 
Green Acre. (New.) The heads of 
this fine variety are like Golden 
Acre but are larger, greener, and 
a few days later. The uniform, 
compact plants are short- 
stemmed and have few outer 
leaves. The intense green leaf color 
makes the heads appear fresh 
and inviting, even after shipping. This often means extra dollars of profit. 
Golden Acre, Super Strain. A very superior Danish-grown strain which we main- 
tain at its high degree of uniformity by special selection. It resembles the old 
Copenhagen Market but the medium-sized, firm heads, 4 to 5 pounds each, 
mature one week earlier than our Early Copenhagen Market. The dwarf, com- 
pact plants, with rather small frame, can be set closely to give a very heavy 
yield of first-quality heads. On yellows-infested Iand, because of its earliness, it 
often matures and is fully marketed before the soil becomes warm enough for the 
disease to become active. This strain is easily worth the higher cost of the seed. 
Yellows-Resistant Golden Acre. This is the very earliest round-headed partly 
yellows-resistant variety and is more uniformly true to type than any other. By 
selection, we have increased its earliness so that now it matures very little, if any, 
later than our Golden Acre, Super Strain. 
Yellows-Resistant Racine Market. Of Golden Acre size maturing in about 65 days 
after setting plants. The heads are round, compact and solid, dependably uni- 
form and of good gray-green color. Similar in leaf and head type to Copenhagen 
Market. Excellent for early market and shipping. 
Copenhagen Market. The round, solid heads, larger than Golden Acre, are of fine 
quality and very uniform. The light green leaves fold tightly over one another. 
Plants are short-stemmed, with heads just above the ground. 
Super Strain Golden Acre Cabbage 
Second-Early Varieties 
Yellows-Resistant Glory of Enkhuizen (Globe). This second-early short-stemmed 
variety Is very sure-heading and of excellent quality. The vigorous plants have 
quite big, rather spreading, curved and frilled outer leaves. Its dark green heads 
are round with very short core, very hard and solid, and large for so early a va- 
riety, maturing a week after Marion Market. Seldom attacked by cabbage worms. 
Yellows-Resistant Copenhagen Market. Matures 2 to 3 weeks after Copenhagen Market 
Early. The almost-round, very hard heads ship perfectly. They stand in the field over a 
long cutting period without bursting, often bemg cut along with the late varieties. 
Yellows-Resistant Marion Market. A heavy yielder of round, very deep, hard heads like 
Copenhagen but the plant is larger. Ours Is a very fine strain gaining in use each year. 
Chinese Cabbage 
Special Narrow Head. A great specialty of ours. Upright, tapered heads, 15 to 18 
inches tall and 4 to 5 inches across, very solid, well blanched, crisp and of delicious 
flavor. Drill seed m June or July (do not transplant) in rows 214 feet apart and 
thin to a foot apart. Matures in 8 to 10 weeks. Keeps for a Jong time in storage.

Red Cabbage 
Red Acre. The very earliest deep red; extremely uniform and sure heading. Matures just after 
Copenhagen. Has pepe and size of Golden Acre. 
Yellows-Resistant Red Hollander. Late, and fine for storing. A heavy yielder and sure head 
Not as large as Mammoth Rock Red but darker. ee cee a 
Savoy Cabbage 
Chieftain. Earlier than standard Savoys as it matures in 88 days from setting of plants. 
Medium-sized, short-stemmed, compact plants with broad rounded, uniformly savoyed 
dark olive-green leaves. Heads are medium-large, drumhead type, thick and flattened but 
rounded on top, and firm. Stand Jong without bursting. Not resistant to yellows, 
Perfection Drumhead, XXX. The strong plants have but few 
outer leaves growing closely about the large, solid, very hard, 
round, nice green heads. The leaves are heavily savoyed. 
Late Cabbage 
Danish Roundhead, Short Stem. One of the best-keeping 
varieties. Heads are round, large, heavy, and very hard. 
Hollander. Vigorous, compact, short-stemmed plants with 
few, upright, large leaves. The very solid, round, medium- 
sized heads ship perfectly and keep well until late spring. 
round heads, slightly smaller than Hollander, on short stems. 
Likes a good rich soil. Ships very well. 
Penn State Ballhead. A very hard-heading selection 
of Danish Ballhead which yields an increased tonnage 
per acre. The heads are solid, uniform, fme-grained, on 
short stems, and keep well. Well suited to early May 
seeding, setting plants im early June to mature in early 
September when Cabbage usually brings high prices. 
Yellows-Resistant Bugner’s. A very heavy-yielding variety with 
slightly flattened round, very solid, heavy heads that are larger 
and later than Penn State Ballhead. 
Yellows-Resistant Wisconsin Hollander No. 8. The heavy, hard, 
round “‘ Ballheads,”’ slightly flattened, are unexcelled for storing, 
shipping and kraut manufacture. Each weighs 7 to 9 pounds.
