One ounce for 2000 plants; Ylb. to Valb. for an acre 
For fall crops many growers drill the seed directly 
in the field, later thinning out to the desired spacing 
between plants in the row. This avoids 
the hazard of transplanting losses and in- 
sures continued growth during the usual 
heat and drought of late summer. 
EARLY VARIETIES 
Green Acre. The uniform heads of 
this fme variety are like Golden 
Acre but are larger, greener, and 
very few days later. The uniform, 
compact plants are quite short- 
stemmed and have but few outer 
leaves. The mtense green leaf 
color makes the heads appear fresh 
and inviting, even after shipping. This often means extra dollars of profit to you. 
Golden Acre, Super Strain. A very superior Danish-grown strain which we main- 
tain at its high degree of uniformity by special selection. It resembles the old 
Copenhagen Market but the medium-sized, firm heads, 4 to 5 pounds each, 
mature one week earlier than our Early Copenhagen Market. The dwarf, com- 
pact plants, with rather small frame, can be set closely to give a very heavy yield 
of first-quality heads. On yellows-infested Jand, because of its earliness, it often 
matures and is fully marketed before the soil becomes warm enough for the 
disease to become active. This strain is easily worth the higher cost of the seed. 
Yellows-Resistant Golden Acre. This is the very earliest round-headed partly 
yellows-resistant variety and is more uniformly true to type than any other. By 
selection, we have increased its earliness so that now it matures very little, if any 
later than our Golden Acre, Super Strain described above. 
Yellows-Resistant Racine Market. Of Golden Acre size maturing a few days later 
in about 65 days. The heads are round, compact and solid, dependably uniform 
and of fresh gray-green color. Similar m leaf and head to Copenhagen Market. 
Excellent for early market and shipping. Stands long without splitting. 
Copenhagen Market. The round, solid heads, larger than Golden Acre, are of fine 
quality and very uniform. The light green leaves fold tightly over one another. 
The sturdy plants are short-stemmed, with the heads just above the ground. 
SECOND-EARLY VARIETIES 
Yellows-Resistant Glory of Enkhuizen (Globe). This second-early short-stemmed 
variety Is very sure heading and of excellent quality. The vigorous plants have 
quite big, rather spreading, curved and frilled outer leaves. Its dark green heads 
are round with very short core, very hard and solid, and large for so early a va- 
riety, maturing a week after Marion Market. Seldom attacked by cabbage worms. 
Yellows-Resistant Copenhagen Market. Matures 2 to 3 weeks after Copenhagen Market 
Early. The almost-round, very hard heads ship perfectly. They stand in the field over a 
long cutting period without bursting, often being cut along with the late varieties. 
Yellows-Resistant Marion Market. A heavy yielder of round, very deep, hard heads like 
Copenhagen but the plant is larger. Ours Is a very fine strain gaining in use each year. 
SAVOY CABBAGE RED CABBAGE VARIETIES 
Perfection Drumhead, XXX. Strong 
plants have but few outer leaves 
growing closely about the large, 
solid, very hard, round, nice green 
heads. The leaves are heavily | Yellows-Resistant Red Hollander. Late, and fine 
crimped or savoyed. Flavor is de- for storing. A heavy yielder and sure header. Not 
liciously mild; improved by frost. as large as Mammoth Rock Red but darker.
