CABBAGE

• YELLOWS RESISTANT VARIETIES— The State of Wis-
  

consin and several other State Departments of Agriculture
have for a number of years been working on the best com-
mercial cabbage varieties, adapting them to resist yellows
or wilt. It is now possible with these resistant stocks to
grow cabbage successfully even on diseased land, by sowing
seed which is grown under special conditions to make it
resistant. While the cost of this seed is somewhat higher
than non-resistant seed, there is the added advantage of
securing stock which has been reselected for conformity
to true type and heading quality. Therefore these improved
varieties are most desirable for both diseased and clean
ground. See pages 10 and 11.
