ROBSON QUALITY SEEDS, HALL, 
NEW YORK 
Some growers prefer Robson Danish Ballhead; 
others plant Seneca Danish Ballhead. Orson Rob- 
son likes Seneca Danish because it is a little 
earlier, more uniform and all-in-all a more refined 
type. 
652 SENECA DANISH BALLHEAD: 95 days. 
A new and superior strain of Danish Ball- 
head developed on our farms and released 
for trial to commercial growers in 1947. 
Seneca Danish is very vigorous; has a medi- 
um short stem and is outstanding in yield 
and quality. ‘Che 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 Rob- 
son Danish Ballhead. See prices below.

cabbage each year, plants Robson Red Danish. 
RED CABBAGE 
648 RED DANISH BALLHEAD: 100 days. 
Our strain of Red Danish we find is the 
most satisfactory and dependable variety to 
grow. We no longer are offering Mammoth 
Rock Red; our Red Danish is equally as 
large and much more uniform in deep 
purple-red color. Heads average 4 to 6 
Ibs., are round, slightly flattened at top, 
very solid. Widely used for pickling and 
coleslaw; keeps well in storage. Market 
growers are using it in preference to Red 
Acre, though slightly later, because of its 
uniformity and dependability. See prices 
below.
