Eat More Cabbage 

“Yellows”’ is a problem in many of the older cabbage growing sections. Marion Market, being resistant to this disease, has largely taken 
the place of Copenhagen Market in these areas. This field shows very little worm damage and Joe Robson says ‘‘DDT has made it pos- 
sible to easily control cabbage worms and thrip and produce quality heads that bring top prices.”

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 15th 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. 
The earliest market and home garden cabbage is Golden Acre. This is closely followed by Early Copen- 
hagen after which come Early Seneca, Marion Market, Chieftain Savoy and latest of all Danish Ballhead. 
Large Late Copenhagen, Glory of Enkhuizen, and Wisconsin Allseason are too large for most markets but are 
used for sauerkraut. Early Seneca and Marion Market are grown both for market and kraut. Early Seneca 
produces a solid green head of market size that, if left in the field, will put on size and weight without splitting 
and make a large, ripe head suitable for kraut. 
Danish Ballhead is the storage cabbage of the North. It is tough and not as sweet as the early varieties 
but keeps better in storage. The red or purple varieties are largely used for cole slaw, salads, and pickled cab- 
bage. We recommend that you try Chieftain Savoy for a late cabbage. Savoy cabbage has a fine flavor and 
is excellent both cooked and in salads. 
The important insect pests of cabbage are worms, thrips, and aphis. 
Black Leaf 40 kills aphis. 
DDT dust controls worms and thrips.
