LONG ISLAND IMPROVED HMS BRATT 
A fine sort for home and truck gardeners. Most commonly grown as a fall, 
winter, and early spring crop. The plants are dwarf and compact, usually 
becoming about 20 inches tall, producing solid, round, cabbage-like balls 114 
inches in diameter. These balls mature in succession from the base of the 
plant upward and should be harvested accordingly. To extend harvest season 
beyond hard freezing weather, pull entire plant and stand them together in 
a shed or yard where they can be covered over with straw for protection.

For a heavy crop of fine cabbage, it is important that seed which is uniform, high 
yielding, and true to type be planted—Keystone Quality Seeds fulfill that need. A high 
soil fertility is essential to satisfactory production. Early planting and insect control also 
must be considered for best results.
