CABBAGE—Continued 
LATE CABBAGE VARIETIES 
These are the varieties commonly referred to as 
winter storage varieties. The heads of “Danish” or 
“Ballhead” varieties are not as tender in quality as 
the early varieties but are very attractive in appear- 
ance and keep well in storage. Savoy is a type of 
winter cabbage that has become popular with those 
who have tried it. Chieftain Savoy is excellent both 
in salads and cooked. We suggest you try it. 
*652 SENECA DANISH BALLHEAD: 95 days. A 
new and superior strain of Danish Ballhead devel- 
oped on our farms and released for trial to commer- 
cial growers in 1947. Seneca Danish is very vigor- 
ous; has a medium short stem and is outstanding in 
yield and quality. The heads are very solid, uni- 
form, average about 5 to 6 pounds in weight and 
show a very attractive bloom on the top leaf of the 
head; a little earlier than Robson Danish Ballhead.

Seneca Danish Ballhead is the result of crossing, selecting and 
testing strains of Danish Ballhead on our farms over a period of 
ten years. It represents what we think is the ideal type for storage 
and market. Don Paarlberg, now teaching at Purdue University, 
helped in making these selections. He apparently considers this 
an ideal type of Seneca Danish Ballhead.

“Your Seneca Danish Cabbage seed proved very good. We had 
wonderful cabbage from same. I think it is far ahead of your 
regular Danish. I would advise every cabbage grower to try some 
of your Seneca Danish.”’
