Book Description
Excerpt from Ferry's Home Garden Catalogue, 1932 Fer ry's hollan der By eliminating the defects which we found in ordinary strains of Danish Ball Head and select ing for the more desirable features, we are able to offer a strain of late cabbage that has no equal. Round heads about six inches in diameter are borne on stems four to five inches in length. When set out early in July the plants reach maturity late in September and the heads remain in perfect condition until, cold weather makes harvesting necessary. If pitted or stored in a cold cellar at a tempera ture a little above freezing, they will keep perfectly throughout the winter and furnish a supply of prime cabbage whenever wanted. E-we have taken heads from storage on May first that were practically as fresh and crisp as when stored the previous November. Although Smaller than other late varieties the head is so solid that it weighs seven to nine pounds. The interior of the head is white, and the flavor is mild and sweet. Try this for late fall use and winter keeping. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
