CABBAGE 
1 ounce for 2500 plants; 6 ounces for an acre 
We List Only the Best Varieties 
We are large growers and shippers of cabbage, growing and shipping hundreds of cars yearly. We 
test and try out on our vegetable farms, every new introduction of cabbage and the 
varieties listed 
herein are those found to be best adapted to the soil and climatic conditions of the West. 
CULTURE: The ground should be well fertilized, 
deeply plowed (fall plowed if possible). For early 
planting sow seeds of the early varieties in hotbeds 
the first part of February. For second early and later 
crops sow in March and April, in hotbeds or cold 
frames. The plants should be set in rows 242 to 3 feet 
apart and from 12 to 18 inches apart in the rows, 
according to the richness of the soil—the richer the 
soil the closer they may be grown. Until the plants 
start to head they should have frequent cultivation. 
Seed for midseason and late crops can be drilled out 
in the field during April. 
FIELD SOWING. For midseason and late crops, 
many growers, wi good success, drill the seed 
direct in the field, where the crop is to be grown. 
Some plant in single rows others, to increase tonnage 
and insure more marketable size heads, drill seed 
double rows, and thin to 15 inches apart. 
For cabbage worms and aphis, we recommend 
Parathion. (See Page 92.) 
EARLY WONDER. The earliest, round headed va- 
riety; uniform. Plants compact with short stems 
similar to Golden Acre but 3 to 5 days earlier. 
GOLDEN ACRE. The most widely used early 
cabbage maturing uniformly and all heads about 
the same time. Plants fast growing, medium 
green, small and compact with short stems. 
Heads are round, 6 to 7 inches in diameter with 
solid white interiors. 
GOLDEN ACRE ELITE. An extra fine strain of 
Golden Acre. This seed specially selected and 
grown for uniformity of type, earliness and yield. 
COPENHAGEN MARKET. A _ splendid second 
early, round head short stem sort, head averag- 
ing 4 to 8 pounds in weight. The compact 
growth of the plant, the solidity of the head, 
make it very popular with the market gardeners. 
GLORY OF ENKHUIZEN. Plants short stemmed, 
light green. Heads are of good size, solid, flat- 
tened globe shaped. Matures between Copen- 
hagen Market and Holland. Widely used for 
market and early kraut. For shipping, we pre- 
fer Wisconsin Globe. 
FERRY’S HOLLANDER. One of the 
best late cabbages. Plants are short 
stemmed, erect and compact, allow- 
ing closer planting. Heads be- 
come firm when fairly small 
reaching marketable sizes in 105 
days and fully grown in 120 
days from setting in field. Espe- 
cially suited for direct field sow- 
ing. Can supply in originator’s 
sealed 1 lb. bags at 25c pound 
extra. 
OAKVIEW BALLHEAD. Bred by 
Ferry and is identical to Ferry's 
Hollander except heads are 
larger and is ten days later. 
DANISH BALLHEAD SHORT STEM. Holland grown.

large. Heads deep, round, very hard. Excellent 
home and market garden variety and makes

retains its green color longer. Heads globe 
shaped, medium size, very solid and well cov- 
ered with bluish green wrapper leaves. Plants 
medium stemmed and erect. 
PENN STATE BALLHEAD. 100 to 110 days. A 
heavy yielder. Heads attractive, extremely hard, 
flattened globe, 8 to 9 inches across, 6 to 7 
inches deep, excellent for winter storage. 
YELLOWS DISEASE RESISTANT 
STRAINS 
Ground often becomes infested with a thread- 
like organism or fungi which causes a disease 
known as CABBAGE YELLOWS. Can be controlled 
in cabbage sick soils only by use of yellow resis- 
tant strains of seed. ~ 
The strains known as Wisconsin Golden Acre, 
Wisconsin Copenhagen, Wisconsin Globe, and 
Wisconsin Ballhead are the development of the 
University of Wisconsin and are all first generation 
seed. 
WISCONSIN GOLDEN ACRE. 65 days. The earliest 
of resistant round head cabbages. Selected from 
Elite Golden Acre. Heads globular, firm, clear 
white interior of fine quality. Plants uniform, 
planted close together. 
85 per cent resistant.
