ing as well as early. “ For the gardener who has the least space we suggest this 
outstanding Burgess variety. 
Ae COPENHAGEN MARKET 
70 days. One of the 
most valuable varieties 
for the home garden and 
one of the most profit- 
able for market garden- 
ers. With the exception 
of Golden Acre, it is the 
earliest round-headed 
Cabbage. . When ready 
for cutting, Copenhagen 
Market is the heaviest of 
the extra-early varieties 
and is-as good, in its 
class, as the old favorite 
Danish Ballhead. The 
stem is short; the head 
is round and solid, aver- 
ae ae ; aging 5 pounds or more, 
and uniform in shape and size. A vigorous grower and an 
excellent keeper. The heads all mature at one time, and 
will stand well without bursting. 
JUMBO 
er Large Late Drumhead 
Largest of All Cabbage 
107 days. Only a week later than Danish 
Ballhead and the largest cabbage grown. 
On good soil very few heads will weigh less 
than 12 Ibs. Heads flat, rounded at top; 
very solid ; sure to head; excellent keepers. 
Chinese or CELERY CABBAGE 
Eat Like Celery 
pF A most delicious vegetable 
which combines the rich celery 
flavor with that of the cab- 
bage. Can be cooked or eaten 
raw like celery. Makes as 
good salad as the finest head 
lettuce. The mid-ribs can be 
cooked like asparagus, and for 
cole slaw no other cabbage 
compares with it. It is ex- 
tremely productive, easily 
grown and unexcelled for fall 
to early winter use from seed 
& sown directly in the garden in 
midsummer. 
CHIHLI 
(Improved Peking) 
The first Chinese Cabbage 
and still preferred by many. 
Heads are 19” to 20” in length 
and 314” to 4” thick; solid, 
white, very crisp and tender 
and very good quality. 
MICHIHLI—Newest ond Finest 
A new and far superior type with attractive 
dark green leaves that fold closely together and 
blanch pure white inside. Tender, crisp and 
sweet. Earlier than Chihli, much more uniform 
and better in every way.

DANISH BALLHEAD 
Most Popular Winter Cabbage 
100 days. The most popular cabbage for winter. It 
is fine grained, tender and crisp. The round heads aver- 
age 6% lbs. and are so hard and solid that they will 
weigh one-fourth more than other varieties of equal size, 
and will stand shipping better than other sorts. It is 
not necessary to dispose of the crop in the fall if mar- 
ket prices are not satisfactory. The crop can be stored 
just as safely as potatoes and they will be just as solid 
in the spring as when put away in the fall. 
MAMMOTH RED ROCK 
Best of All the Reds 
95 days. A new interest in the ‘‘sweet-sour’’ tang of 
red cabbage has sent housewives scurrying back to old 
cook books for grandmother’s recipes. The first thing 
they see is that it calls for 45 minutes of cooking at 
least, and some recipes go as high as an hour and 45 
minutes. Perhaps, this is why we’ve lost sight of this 
delicious dish, only to relearn again that nothing will 
displace it, and that it’s worth the effort. Our Mammoth 
Red Rock is the largest and the best red cabbage. The 
solid round heads are red throughout. A sure cropping 
variety. Also used for salads and relishes. 
YELLOWS-RESISTART 
CABBAGE 
Cabbage Yellows or Fusarium Wilt is a 
disease that is soil-borne, and is not, 
therefore, controlled by seed treatment. 
| We, however, treat our Yellows-Resistant 
varieties against seed-borne diseases for 
| double security. If there is any danger of 
| the Yellows disease, by all means plant 
these strains. 
WISCONSIN GOLDEN ACRE 
The Earliest Round Head 
59 days. A fine, round, resistant strain 
| of Golden Acre, and earlier. Finest for 
the home garden and market. Several 
| plantings made at two-week intervals will 
| keep you supplied throughout the season. 
YELLOWS-RESISTANT 
GOLDEN ACRE 
| 64 days. Highly resistant to Yellows 
| otherwise the same as Golden Acre. 
MARION MARKET 
80 days. (Wisconsin Copenhagen.) This 
| Yellows-Resistant strain of Copenhagen 
| Market is larger and 10 days later than 
| our regular strain. 
WISCONSIN HOLLANDER 
Yellows-Resistant Ballhead 
110 days. Disease-proof variety of the 
Danish Ballhead type. In addition to its 
| ability to resist Yellows, has all the good 
| qualities of the old Danish Ballhead, and 
will weigh 11% Ibs. more.
