veloped by Dr. Chas. Myers, of Pennsylvania State College. The head 
has a shorter core than the original Danish Ballhead, the stem is short, 
heads large, firm and heavy. The average yield per acre is much higher 
than other sorts. Its keeping qualities are excellent. 
306 Premium Flat Dutch Pkt., 10c; Y 0z., 25c; 0z., 45c; % 1b., $1.50 
(100 days.) This has been a favorite in many Cabbage growing sections 
as a late fall or winter variety, making large and much flattened heads 
of remarkable solidity. They keep well throughout the winter. 
288 Danish Ballhead (Short Stem) 
Pkt., 10c; % 0z., 30c; 0z., 55c; % 1b., $1.65 
(95 days.) A leader among Cabbage for winter because of its solid hard 
head and excellent keeping qualities. It has a distinctly larger and 
heavier head than Special Hollander. The heads are round, uniform in 
shape, size and color. Average weight per head 614 pounds. We recom- 
mend Danish Ballhead Short Stem to particular growers. 
330 Mammoth Rock Red Pkiy L066 07, 30c> 02. 55¢> Veolb., $1.65 
(90 days.) This is the largest and best of the red types. This carefully 
bred strain we offer produces fine, large, solid heads of good color. 
308 Savoy Chieftain Pkt. 1@cs Y-0z., 35c: oz:, 600: Y% 1b., $1.75 
(88 days.) Here is a superb Savoy that is early and will please the par- 
ticular gardener. This strain has been bred for market garden purposes. 
It is short stemmed, compact, dark green, densely curled, and exception 
ally hard-heading. Superior to American Savoy. It never fails to satisfy.

Yellows-Resistant Cabbage Seed 
Since many farms have “yellows sick” soil, yellows-resistant varieties 
should be planted more. In many sections they are the only varieties which 
will succeed. Even if the yellows infection is slight, and the ordinary kinds 
can be grown, the yel'ows-resistant varieties usually do better and produce 
larger crops. 
The yellows-resistant varieties have been so improved in the past few 
vears. that in nearly all cases they are as true and uniform as the similar 
non-resistant kinds. Our stocks below are the best——none better. 
316 Bugner PEE IOC y2 OZ NOOC 302. 00Cn 4 1b $195 
(100 days.) Because it is yellows-resistant, this old variety is becoming 
more in demand. It is later than Danish Ballhead, and has larger and 
more flattened heads. A heavy producer. Popular with market growers. 
318 Golden Acre Pkt., 15c; Y% 0z., 40c; 0z., 75c; % 1b., $2.25 
(60 days.) (Yellows-Resistant.) This strain developed from Golden 
Acre. It is the same type as Golden Acre Special, 3 to 4 days later. 
We recommend planting it on soils infested with yellows. Produces 
heads ready for cutting 2 weeks earlier than Marion Market. It is a 
uniform strain, maturing very early. 
321 Marion Market Pkt= 1062 4o.02., 5c: -0z., 65c; 44 lb., $1.95 
(75 days.) (Yellows-Resistant Copenhagen). Resistant to “yellows.” 
Early, round head, short stem. Excellent quality. Use Marion Market 
if you are bothered with disease. A sure header.

(90 days.) (Yellows-Resistant.) Wery valuable in localities infested with 
the diesase known as “Cabbage yellows.” Used for kraut, also valuable 
for winter keeping. Heads large, 10 to 12 inches across, 8 inches deep

327 Wisconsin Hollander No. 8 
Pki., 10e* % 02z.,35e;'0z., 65c: % 1b., $1.95 
(100 days.) (Yellows-Resistant.) Splendid late Cabbage for storage, 
shipment and kraut manufacture on land infested so badly with the 
“‘vellows” disease that other varieties failed completely. Heads large, 
globular, very firm. Keeps well until spring. 
Chinese Cabbage 
A packet will sow 30 feet of row; I ounce 200 to 300 feet; 4 ounces per acre. 
We advise that the seed be sown in July or August (not earlier) be- 
cause Chinese Cabbage has’ a tendency to bolt to seed in warm weather. 
Sow where the plants are to remain in rows 214 feet apart, 18 inches apart 
in the row. It is very easily grown and takes very little space. The crop 
matures in from 8 to 10 weeks. 
335 Chihli j Pkt., 10c; % oz., 25c; 02z., 40c; % 1b., $1.10 
(70 days.) This is the grand new strain of Chinese Cabbage. Grows 18 
to 24 inches tall and 5 to 7 inches in diameter, with straight and narrow 
crown. Interior bleaches creamy white, crisp and delicious. It is a good 
keeper and shipper. We have proven seed.
