Danver’s Half Long, 
FROSTPROOF CABBAGE PLANTS 
Frostproof Cabbage Plants are true to their name. They will stand frost and even freezing 
temperatures as low as 20 degrees above zero. Because of their great resistance to bad weather 
they can be planted early, just as soon as the ground can be worked. Normally you will gain 
three weeks by using frostproof plants. These plants are grown in Texas during the winter 
months and are shipped direct from our growing station at the proper time for planting. Because 
of the difficult conditions under which they grow, the plants have a somewhat wilted and stunted 
appearance, but regardless of their appearance when planted they make a steady growth. 
We can supply the following varieties: EARLY JERSEY WAKEFIELD, COPENHAGEN MAR- 
KET, CHARLESTON WAKEFIELD, GLORY OF ENKHUIZEN, EARLY FLAT DUTCH. Please 
state variety wanted and time of shipment on your order. Prices: 1 bunch (approximately 50 
plants), 50c; 2 bunches, 75c; 3 hunches, $1.00; 4 bunches, $1.25; 10 bunches, $2.00; 20 bunches, 
$3.25, postpaid. By express collect (South Texas), weight 25 lbs., 40 bunches, $4.50; 120 bunches
