DANISH BALL HEAD, SHORT STEM 
(100 days) 
Popular because of its great solidity of head and its un- 
equalled keeping and shipping qualities. The heads are very 
hard, fine grained, and will weigh one-fourth more than other 
varieties of equal size. Our seed is very high bred and cannot 
be excelled in quality. Genuine Amager Island grown. Pkt. 
10c; 0Z. 35c; Ib., $3.00. 
CABBAGE MARION MARKET (80 days) 
The MARION MARKET was originally bred up from 
Copenhagen Market, but differs from the latter in several 
respects. It takes about ten days longer to mature than the 
early strains of Copenhagen and produces a much larger 
plant. The heads are practically round, very hard and stand 
shipment well. The quality throughout is excellent, and a 
favorite for early Kraut. It is very highly resistant to the 
Yellows and we have seen this variety yield as high as 26 
tons per acre. Of unusual vigor, will make a crop under most 
unfavorable growing conditions. Plant growers that grow 
several varieties of cabbage will notice that the plants of 
Marion Market have extraordinary heavy smooth, round stems, 
an unmistakable sign of vigor. Pkt. 10c; oz. 40c; Ib. $3.00. 
EARLY FLAT DUTCH, STEIN’S (90 days)—An excellent 
sure heading, heat and drought resisting, short stemmed cab- 
bage, very popular in all parts of the country in spite of the 
fact that it is one of the oldest of cabbage varieties. Produces 
large, firm heads that are 5-6 inches deep, 8-9 inches in dia- 
meter weighing 5 to 7 lbs. A good keeper and a real quality 
cabbage. Pkt. 10c; 0z. 25c; lb. $2.00.

ALL SEASONS (85 days)—Heads round, flat, weighing from 
10 to 12 lbs. each. Of high quality and a sure header.

BIG CROP OF KALE 
three and four times as much per acre will you get by sowing 
our Evergreen Gem Kale. 
CONSULT the front pages of this catalog. You wll find many 
important novelties listed on those pages. 
NOTE: Maturity dates are relative and, having been deter- 
mined for one ‘growing location, may vary in other growing 
sections. 
WISCONSIN ALL SEASONS (90 days) 
Yellows resistant. Type similar to the old variety and 
the season about the same. It is the hardiest of all the flat- 
head varieties, an excellent Kraut cabbage. WISCONSIN 
ALL SEASON is known to stand unfavorable conditions of 
drought and hot weather unusually well. For this reason it 
is a very choice variety for the home garden for late summer 
and early fall use. It does not burst as readily as other vari- 
eties after heading up. Pkt. 10c; oz. 40c; Ib. $3.00. 
CABBAGE SHORT STEM HOLLANDER 
Special Strain (100 days) 
Forms extremely tight heads with practically no hollow 
spaces, perfectly globe shaped of medium size. 
Will come out of storage in better shape than other 
cabbages because it has several layers of dark green outside 
leaves. You remove one, you remove another layer of the 
outside leaves and you still have a head of cabbage as fresh 
looking as if it was cut recently. 
There are several strains of Hollander. Checked up in 
extensive field trials our Special Hollander was found the 
best strain. Pkt. 10c; oz. 35c; Ib. $3.00. 
CABBAGE EARLY MARVEL (61 days) 
You will make some extra profit by growing Barly Marvel. 
Positively the earliest cabbage, with large heads, in existence. 
The heads are ball shaped, slightly elongated, very hard, very 
white inside, of fine quality, weighing 5 to 8 lbs. per head. The 
crop comes almost all at once, and every plant that you will 
set out will make a head. Early Marvel can be marketed long 
before fully developed. If left standing in the feld when fully 
developed, will not burst for several weeks. Heads very hard, 
leaves have small midribs, eating quality very high. 
Pkt. 100; oz. 40c; Ib. $4.00. 
CABBAGE STONEHEAD (115 days) 
New. Very late in developing but of all cabbages the 
longest keeper. Heads round, smaller in size than those of 
Danish Ballhead yet weighing as much and more than the 
larger heads of regular Ballhead type. Stems medium tall. 
Wilt resistant. Pkt. 10c; oz. 40c; Ib. $4.00. 
YELLOWS RESISTANT CABBAGES 
YELLOWS IN CABBAGE—The plants turn yellow, the leaves 
drop off the stem and finally the whole plant dies. In such case 
the only remedy there is, is to grow only yellows resistant varieties 
To be benefited you must have ONLY first generation seed. 
To get a crop of cabbage on soils sick with yellows, 
Yellows Resistant varieties must be used. How did yellows 
resistant strains originate? A field of cabbage was destroyed 
by yellows excepting here and there a plant. From these, 
seed was saved, plants raised and set out in yellows sick soil. 
This time many plants made good solid heads. From these 
healthy cabbages seed was saved, plants raised and again set 
out in yellows sick soil. This went on and on until today 
we have several varieties that are immune from the yellows 
disease. The following varieties listed by us are Yellows 
Resistant: Bugner, Yellows Res., Golden Acre, Delux, Yel- 
lows Res. Globe, Marion Market Wisconsin No. 8 and Wis- 
consin All Sgasons.
