BREEDERS AND GROWERS 13 CABBAGE Our cabbage seed is produced largely in the Puget Sound section at our western Washington production branch from seed stocks of highest quality. Each year the various varieties are checked at our Eastern breeding station, Milford, Conn., to guard the vital factors of earliness, evenness of maturity and uniformity. Varieties marked have been developed, mainly at the University of Wisconsin, for resistance to the cabbage-yellows disease. It is recommended that only these varieties be planted in infested areas. The column of Days gives relative period to maturity from setting out plants. Diameter Weight of head of head inches pounds Days ALL HEAD SELECT, 9 6 78 Resembles standard strains of All Head. Firm head, flat to slightly rounded at top. Uniform and of fine quality for early sauerkraut. COPENHAGEN MARKET 6^ 3^ 69 Dependably early and uniform, used largely for early kraut. Outer leaves few and of gray-green color, short stem; head round, solid, and of superior quality. An excellent short season type. CORNELL EARLY DANISH BALL HEAD 7 5 85 Developed at Cornell University and recently introduced. Plant compact, with thick leaves tending to fold over head. Earlier than standard stocks of Danish Ball Head and slightly smaller. Head somewhat flattened, compact and solid. DANISH BALL HEAD (Hollander) 7^ 6^ 103 Most widely used and best type of late cabbage for kraut or storage. Plant fairly large, sturdy, with short stem; outer leaves medium.
