Danish Drumhead Cabbage
In 1879, Mr. Edward Abelgoord wrote me from Canada, that he raised a large Drumhead cabbage, the seed of which was brought from Denmark, which was the best kind of Cabbage that he had seen in that latitude. (46 degrees). Being very valuable for the extreme North. It was earlier than Fottler's Drumhead and made large, flat heads of excellent flavor and was so reliable for heading. I raised a field of this new cabbage and it proved a large, flat, early Drumhead, very reliable for heading. I would recommend market gardeners and others to try it. Much like Stone-Mason in size and shape but is ten days or more earlier. Pkt., 10c; oz., 30c; ¼ lb., $1.00; lb., mail, $3.15; lb., exp, $3.00
