ROBSON QUALITY SEEDS, HALL, NEW YORK 1] 

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.

regular strain of Danish Ballhead bred on our farms

Seneca Danish Ballhead is the result of many years of cabbage 
breeding by Orson Robson and his helpers. The uniformity and 
yield of Seneca Danish justifies all these years of work. 
*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.

YELLOWS RESISTANT CABBAGE 
These varieties have been bred for resistance to the 
cabbage disease known as yellows. They do not pro- 
duce quite as uniform heads as the other cabbage 
varieties and we only advise their use where soil is 
known to be infected with yellows. 
Marion Market is the most popular of these varie- 
ties. Not only is it better adapted to various types of 
marketing but it is the oldest and most uniform of all 
the yellows resistant varieties with the possible excep- 
tion of Wisconsin Copenhagen. We are recommending 
that growers of early cabbage try the new variety, 
Wisconsin Copenhagen. 

A crop of Marion Market like this means a lot of work and expense 
but there is always a market for well grown cabbage. 
654 YELLOWS RESISTANT GOLDEN ACRE: 65 
days. A Golden Acre type from Denmark into 
which yellows resistance has been bred. Plant small 
and compact. Head medium small, round and fairly 
uniform. Pkt. 15c; % oz. 45c; oz. 60c; % lb. $1.70;
