We List Only the Best Varieties 
We are large growers and shippers of cabbage, growing and shipping hundreds of cars yearly. We 
test and try out on our vegetable farms, every new introduction of cabbage and the varieties listed 
herein are those found to be best adapted to the soil and climatic conditions of the West. 
CULTURE: The ground should be well fertilized, 
deeply plowed (fall plowed if possible). For early 
planting sow seeds of the early varieties in hotbeds 
the first part of February. For second early and later 
crops sow in March and April, in hotbeds or cold 
frames. The plants should be set in rows 2)4 to 3 feet 
apart and from 12 to 18 inches apart in the rows, 
according to the richness of the soil—the richer the 
soil the closer they may be grown. Until the plants 
start to head they should have frequent cultivation. 
Seed for midseason and late crops can be drilled out 
in the field during April and thinned instead of trans- 
planting. Use Cubor for cabbage worms; aphis (plant 
lice), Black Leaf 40, Vapatone or Chlordane (Colorado 
44). See pages 89-90. 
GOLDEN ACRE. 65 days from setting of plants. 
A very fine extra early cabbage, in fact, the 
earliest round head variety maturing uniformly 
and all heads about at the same time. Heads 
are round, very firm, bright green color, about 
8 to 12 inches in diameter. The stalk is very 
short, plants can be set close together. 
GOLDEN ACRE ELITE. An exira fine strain of 
Golden Acre. This seed specially selected and 
grown for uniformity of type, earliness and yield. 
COPENHAGEN MARKET IMPROVED. 74 io 76 
days. A splendid early, round head short stem 
sort, head averaging 5 to 8 pounds in weight. 
The compact growth of the plant, the solidity of 
the head, makes it very popular with the market 
gardeners. One of the best second early varie- 
ties. 
SUMMER KING or EARLY ROUND DUTCH. 75 
days. A new introduction. Plants compact, short 
stems, heads extremely firm, ball-shaped, medium 
size, and commonly weigh 4 to 5 pounds. Very 
attractive as much greener than other cabbages. 
Excellent shipping variety. 
DANISH ROUNDHEAD SHORT STEM. Danish 
grown. 100 to 105 days. A heavy yielding Hol- 
land type, heads solid, round, little flattened on 
top, uniform, heavy yielder. 
EVERGREEN HOLLANDER 
ELITE. Genuine. 100 to 108 
days. Plants medium, short 
stems, erect, and compact, al- 
lowing close planting. Heads 
spherical, medium sized, very 
firm. Retains its fresh green 
color longer than any other 
later sort. The most popular 
late variety for the Rocky 
Mountain region. 
GLORY OF ENKHUIZEN. 80 to 
85 days. Heads are good size, 
solid, round in shape, good 
green color. It matures a little 
later than Copenhagen Market 
and just before the Hollander 
and Danish Roundhead. Excel- 
lent shipping and early kraut 
variety. 
DANISH BALLHEAD SHORT STEM HOLLAND. 
(Gold Seal Quality.) 100 to 108 days. If planted 
on good ground a large yield can be expected, 
for the heads are all of a good size, deep round, 
very solid and interior very compact. Desirable 
for shipping, storage or high quality kraut. 
PENN STATE BALL HEAD. 100 to 110 days. A 
heavy yielder. Heads attractive, extremely hard, 
flattened globe, 8 to 9 inches across, 6 to 7 inches 
deep, excellent for winter storage. 
CHINESE CABBAGE 
This is not a true cabbage and is often called 
Celery Cabbage. It combines the qualities and 
flavor of both celery and cabbage and is highly 
prized as a salad vegetable. 
CULTURE: Same as turnip or lettuce. For spring 
crop plant as soon as danger of frost is over. For fall 
crop, plant in July. Sow seed in rows 24 inches apart 
and after established thin out to 12 inches apart in 
the rows. Irrigate and cultivate well. Do not allow 
ground to dry out. 
CHIHILI or TALL VARIETY. The best and earliest 
variety is ready to eat in 70 days from seeding. 
Leaves are long, green and fringed on edge with 
white mid-ribs; but just before maturing, the 
leaves tighten and fold over forming firm, com- 
pact, bleached, torpedo shaped heads. 
WONG BOK. Heads shorter and thicker than 
Chihili. Compact, tender and well-blanched. 
SAVOY CABBAGE 
CHIEFTAIN SAVOY. The best of the savoy cab- 
bages, medium early but stands a long time 
without bursting. Plants medium sized, short 
stemmed, leaves broad, dark green rounded, 
closely savoyed. Heads medium large drumhead 
type, thick flat rounded on top.
