Mr. Klitgord tuho learned the
secrets of big cabbage and
cauliflower crops in Denmark.

In business in the United States
for thirteen years.

$200 to $300 per acre from
Cabbage. Up to $1200
from Cauliflower

In over-crowded Europe there is a country smaller in size than
Vermont and New Hampshire, but with more than four times their
population. Land is scarce. The people are many. But they must eat.
And there they have learned the secret of making every acre produce
its utmost, to feed the swarming millions.

That country is Denmark. Year after year of stern necessity has
produced plants that grow strong and large. They yield generously.
They flourish under conditions that would make failures of similar plants
not so select nor so hardy. Best of all, when brought over to this country
they produce astonishing crops.

High-grade Danish-grown seeds planted in Danish soil outyield any
others the world over. And high-grade Danish-grown seeds in American
soil outyield American-grown seeds — and always have.

But the seeds must be high-grade

You can grow poor seed in Denmark, as you can anywhere. Mr. M.
Klitgord has a peculiar advantage here. He was born in Denmark. He
is a grower by instinct and training. He has an arrangement with
Denmark’s best seed house, which gives Mr. Klitgord the best seeds
that this leading house gets. So strictly is this lived up to that in two
recent official tests Mr. Klitgord’s seeds produced 41,411 pounds (20%
tons) and 36,126 pounds (18 tons) of Ball Head Cabbage per acre against
competitors’ 23,547 pounds (11% tons) and 29,359 pounds (14% tons).
Klitgord’s average heads weighed 3.65 and 4.95 pounds against their
2.97 and 4.72. These two strains led all competitors, of which there were
16 all told. And Klitgord’s led them all!

“Your seed the best ever”

“I think your seed the best ever. Having once bought from you I will always
buy from you.”

Ray Killian, Brunswick, Ohio

Mr. Klitgord inspecting cabbage in the field

Cost the same— yield far bigger

No more seeds are needed, no more work, no more cultivation, no
more investment. But more dollars come back to you, because every
acre will yield you at least 3 to 6 tons more than you are getting now—
often 10 tons more.

“That’s fine,” you say, “but how much more will those seeds cost
me?” Not any more. Klitgord high-grade Danish-grown seeds cost
you the same as you pay many growers for American-grown seeds. But
what a difference in the yield! And in your profits!

You can get $100 or so more per acre

Say, for instance, it costs you $1.00 for seed for one acre with either
Klitgord seeds or some other kind. The cost is the same, then, for seed
and for all labor needed to bring the crops to maturity. But from your
other seed you get perhaps 10 to 12 tons of cabbage. From your Klitgord
Danish seed you get 18 to 30 tons. At $10 a ton one kind of seed brings
you $100 to $120 per acre, your Klitgord seed $180 to $300.

$1000 to $1200 from Cauliflower per acre

Cauliflower sells by the dozen heads. The price ranges from $1.75
to $3.00 per dozen; $2.35 is a fair average. Klitgord seeds for one acre
cost around $6. You should get, as others do, 7000 to 8000 heads per
acre — say 500 to 650 dozen heads. At $2.35 per dozen one acre would
bring you $1175 to $1527.50. So our claim of $1000 to $1200 per acre is
really less than users of Klitgord seeds are really getting.

The Importance of Reliable Seed

The United States Department of Agriculture in its bulletin on the
“Cabbage” recognizes the importance of high grade seed in the growth
of successful cabbage crops. “In no truck crop does the character of the
seed count for more than in cabbage, ” it reads. “The small saving made
by the purchase of cheap or inferior seed is usually paid for a hundred
times over in the lessened value of the crop. A grower can not afford to
risk his crop for so small a saving.”

— Farmers Bulletin No. 443, page 8.

“Never had such fine plants”

“The seed I got from you yielded an extra fine crop of cabbage and cauliflower.
I never had such fine plants.”

Be sure you get Klitgord Seeds

Since Klitgord’s Danish-grown seeds have proven such money-

makers for the farmer, some
seeds from Danish strains and
has experimented with seeds
raised in this country direct
from real Danish - grown
seeds. American- grown seeds
never give the heavy, firm,
large plants nor the great
tonnage per acre that come
from seeds which were raised
in Denmark. Klitgord seeds
are all imported direct from
Denmark, home of the cab-
bage and cauliflower, after
careful selection. Even other
Danish seeds, as we have
seen, do not yield like
Klitgord seeds.

calling them “Danish.” Mr. Klitgord

Cabbage

Cabbage is grown for three differ-
ent purposes: as a truck crop, as a
market garden crop, and as a farm
crop; depending upon location. Mar-
ket gardeners within hauling distance
of most large cities are growers of
cabbage on a limited scale. Truck
farming, which amounts really to ex-
tensive market gardening, takes place
chiefly on the Atlantic seaboard from
Baltimore southward. The early
varieties are used for this purpose and
the culture differs considerably from
that in the north.

Inasmuch as we are located in the
center of the section devoted to rais-
ing cabbage as a farm crop we shall
limit our discussion to that type of Red Stone Head— io to 15 tons per acre
cabbage growing.

There are four important points in the cultivation of
a high-yielding cabbage crop:

1. Reliable, healthy seed of a high yielding strain.

2. The selection of disease-free land for seed bed and
field.

3. Strong healthy seedlings that will stand transplanting
well.

4. Fields kept clean by frequent cultivation.

The four

cardinal

principles

of successful

cabbage

growing

Soil and
climate

The soil best adapted to the farm cabbage is a heavy,
rich and moist loam. Cabbage can be successfully grown
as a farm crop in New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey,
New England, the states bordering on the Great Lakes, Kentucky, Tenn-
essee, and farther south. Because of the scope of this territory and the
variations in climates and seasons, we can not, of course, give any
definite schedule for planting, etc. This must be determined by the
locality and the season.

p ,. Cabbage is often used as one of the factors in a crop

J^?ara rotation — a popular combination being corn followed by

oats and clover, followed by cabbage. Clover sod turned
under and supplemented by a heavy dressing of stable manure, worked
deep, makes good cabbage soil. In place of manure a high grade ferti-
lizer of SV2 to 4 per cent of nitrogen, 6 to 8 per cent of phosphoric acid
and 8 to 10 per cent of potash can be used; 500 to 1000 pounds per acre.

S 1 tion f The first step in the actual production of the cabbage

th 0 ed bed *s ^he se^ection of a seed bed which has not grown or

e se c )ec propagated diseased cabbage or related crops for a period

impor an 0f g or 7 years: i. e. land that is known to be free from
club root and rot organisms. (See paragraph on Clubroot, page 6)

The seed bed for the intermediate and late crops
should be in the open but preferably in a sheltered spot.

“Yielded a splendid crop”

“The cabbage and cauliflower yielded a splendid crop. I have always used
your seeds. They grow.”

Frank R. Clark, R. F. D. No. 1, Morrisville, N. Y.

Cabbage

(For prices see enclosed price list)

Earliest Oblong Heads

EARLY JERSEY WAKEFIELD — Probably the most popular of the early
oblong varieties, its solid pointed heads maturing very early because
of its exreme hardiness. One of the best for the extra early crop.

CHARLESTON LARGE WAKEFIELD — A good variety to follow Jersey
Wakefield. Matures about a week later with conical heads fully as
solid and at least V2 larger.

TRUE EARLY WINNINGSTADT — Another good successor to the extra
early varieties. Dark green, pointed heads, solid and of excellent
quality.

Early Round Heads

GOLDEN ACRE — Very early. Excellent variety for the market garden-
er and whoever plants small tracts. Matures 10 days before Copen-
hagen, is smaller, can be planted closer. Its earliness and fine quality
bring a fine price.

EXTRA EARLY ROUND — The earliest of all rounds. A wonderful new
cabbage with heads as solid as a rock and weighing 5 to 6 pounds.
Will stand long after being ready to cut without splitting. We re-
commend a trial of this remarkable early cabbage.

The most popular early cabbage in the markets of Copenhagen and
now equally popular in America. Klitgord seed is the finest there is,
being imported direct from the originators of this favorite strain in
Denmark.

COPENHAGEN — One of the most valuable crops. Is ready for the mar-
ket as soon as the early Jersey Wakefield. Plants are short steamed
and may be set closer than most
varieties. A vigorous grower and
fine keeper. Solid core of excellent
quality makes it one of the best
sellers. Yield about 18 to 24 tons
per acre.

GLORY OF ENKHOUSEN— A second
early, sure-heading variety of large,
solid heads. A compact grower al-
lowing close planting. Especially
desirable for market growers to set
out in July after the early spring
crops are harvested. This strain
of Glory is a very heavy yielder,
customers often reporting yields of
30 tons to the acre. 90% of New
York State Kraut is made from
this strain.

ALL HEAD EARLY — Another excell-
ent second early cabbage, or it can
be planted late for a fall or early
winter crop. Deep, solid, flat heads
of uniform size and shape. Yields Extra Early Round— 18 to 25 Tons
18 to 22 tons in good seasons.

“Some heads 10 pounds”

“Your Extra Early Round seed yielded the nicest cabbage I have ever raised,
some heads weighing as high as 10 pounds.”

Albert Callin, Box 122, Swanton, Vermont

IPinter Cabbage

DANISH BALL HEAD— Prob-
ably the most popular of all
cabbage. Hardy, adaptable
to all types of soil, a sure
header, of unrivalled solidity
and weight and, above all, it
is a good keeper.

The Danish Ball Head may
be a medium to late cabbage,
but is usually grown as a late
crop. The heads are round
and extra heavy. Can be
grown in close quarters.

The keeping qualities of
the Ball Head are unequalled.
It comes out of the pits in March as fresh as when put in,
and with very little waste.

DANISH ROUND HEAD — This strain produces large, solid,
almost perfectly round heads of the same keeping qualities
as the famous Danish Ball Head. It is about 10 days or 2
weeks earlier in maturing and is one of the very heaviest
yielders. Crops of 20 to 28 tons per acre are not un-
common. A fine strain for shipping in late fall.

Red Cabbage

RED DANISH STONE HEAD — This strain of late red cab-
bage, originated in Denmark, is considered one of the best
cabbages introduced. The plants are strong and compact,
producing dark red, round, solid heads. The red color ex-
tends through to the center of the head. Valuable for
home garden, market or pickling.

MAMMOTH RED ROCK — This is the largest and surest head-
ing of the red cabbages. A vigorous grower, medium stem
and an attractive deep red color. Excellent for cole slaw
and pickling.

Danish Ball Head' — 15 to 22 Tons

“Seeds very satisfactory”

“For the last two years I have used your cabbage and cauliflower seeds and
find them very satisfactory.”

Ernest Hiltbrunner, Asbury Park, New Jersey

One ounce of seed will produce about 2,000 plants.
How and Allow 6 ounces to the acre. The seed should be sown

when to thinly broadcast or in open drills not over xk inch deep,

sow seeds For early cabbage sow seed as early as possible in the
spring, preferably in covered frames, transplanting to the open after the
seedlings have been hardened off by gradually exposing to the night
air. In some sections the seed beds are covered with cheese-cloth
preventing harmful insects from coming in contact with the young
seedlings.

In the latitude of central New York the later varieties
are sown in the open about May 1st. If the weather and soil are dry,
the late sowing should be shaded and watered to hasten germination,
but the young seedlings should not be shaded or crowded after they are
above the ground or they will not be stocky by transplanting time.

Care of the The young plants should be kept free from weeds and

young plants crowding until ready to transplant.

Setting out Transplanting should take place as soon as the

the plants seedlings are 4 to 6 inches high. Set plant down to the
first leaf. This is important. Early varieties, which are
smaller, may be planted 18 to 20 inches apart in the row, but 24 inches
is not too much for some of the late, large-growing sorts. Plants may
be set out by hand with a dibble or on a large scale with a transplanting
machine.

Keep your Keeping the fields clean is very important. Plants

fields clear should be cultivated frequently as long as the cultivator
of weeds can be mn between the rows.

A few words In harvesting and

about har- storing cabbage, great

Itolin? an<1 care should be zeroised

in handling the heads.
They should be tossed carefully from
hand to hand and never thrown into
a wagon or bin. In hauling cabbage,
spring wagons should always be used.

Three requisites for
successful storing of cabbages are :
(1) Carefully handled heads of a
good storing variety, such as the
Danish Ball Head grown from im-
ported seed; (2) a frost proof storage
house with dead air space at walls
and roof and arranged so as to avoid
drip from the ceiling; and (3) con-
trol of ventilation and temperature
to prevent condensation of moisture
on cabbage.

Qlorig of Enkhousen— 17 to 35 Tons

“Will use no other seed”

“The Glory Seed I got from you germinated 100%. Yielded over 30 tons per
acre. I will use no other.”

Michael Bolger, Stanley, N. Y.

Enemies of the
Cabbage

Early protection of the crop from
insect enemies is important.

Root During some sea-

Maggot sons root maggots

which attack the cab-
bage in the seed bed constitute its
worst enemy. The method for com-
bating these pests is to use finely pul-
verized mercuric chloride at the rate
of one ounce dissolved in 10 gallons
of water. The resulting solution

should be applied to the base of the
plants, the object being to misten the
ground around the plants to a depth
of an inch or more, at the rate of one
gallon to about 30 feet. The first
application should be made as soon as
the flies appear in numbers, but not
until the seedlings are well out of the
ground or severe burning will result.
In a bad maggot year three applications may be necessary at intervals of
about one week. This method costs less than half that of cheese cloth
screening but can not be recommended unqualifiedly as a substitute
during an extremely severe infestation.

Cabbage The cabbage worm which attacks the cabbage in the

Worm field can be controlled by the use of Paris Green at the

rate of 1 pound to 50 gallons of water, or perhaps a still
better method is to use arsenate of lead at the rate of 4 pounds to 50
gallons of water. These are both poisonous and should not be used after
heads have started to form.

Cabbage The most serious infestations of the cabbage aphis

Aphis or occur during hot, dry seasons. It is difficult to reach the
“lice” aphis by spraying methods because the colonies are usually

on the underside of the leaves.

Use a 5% nicotine sulphate dust in a mechanical
duster. The dust blown into the cabbage or cauliflower reaches the
aphis quite satisfactorily.

30 pounds of dust per acre should be enough, but as
much as 60 pounds may be necessary, depending upon the size of plants
and the degree of infestation.

Clubroot Clubroot is the worst and most persistent disease to

which cabbage is subject. It remains in infected soil for
5 to 7 years. It may be transmitted in poor plants and in manure. This
is the danger in buying plants to set out. Grow your own plants from
pure seed on land you know to be free from clubroot.

If a crop should become contaminated with clubroot,
do not use that land for at least 7 years for cabbage, turnip, rape,
mustard or any other member of the cabbage family. This applies to
both seed bed and field. The disease will spread if this rule is not ob-
served. Do not use manure containing cabbage refuse or from stalls
and pigsties in which cabbage or related crops have been fed.

Copenhagen— 22 to 28 Tons

“Yielded 23 tons per acre”

“Copenhagen Cabbage from your seed yielded 23 tons per acre for me last year.
I find it splendid.”

Harold L. Johnson, Walworth, Wayne County, N. Y.

you Can Qrou? Cauliflower

The culture of cauliflower, in general, is the same as that of cabbage.
It is usually grown on a smaller scale because it requires richer ground
and a little more attention. Anyone who can grow cabbage can grow
cauliflower.

The success of the cauliflower crop depends chiefly on two things:
(1) Uninterrupted growth and (2) high grade seed.

T . In the culture of cauliflower even more than in cab-

mportance bage the factor of good seed is an all-important one.

Plants must be bred from sure-heading strains. Probably
more cauliflower crops are unsuccessful because of cheap
seed than for any other reason.

of Good
Seed

Enrich the
Land

About the only difference between the cultivation of
cabbage and cauliflower is that the latter requires richer
ground. A 6-8-2 fertilizer broadcast on the seed bed will
help insure continued growth. For the field use 15 to 20 tons of well
rotted stable manure to the acre and work deep. Supplement this with
1,000 pounds of 4-8-4 fertilizer and harrow before planting.

„ , In Central New York the seed is planted about the

ow o middle of May and the young plants transplanted to the

ant field about 6 weeks later. Allow 4 ounces of seed to the

acre. Set plants 18 inches by 3 feet apart in the field.

When the cauliflower head is about the size of a
dollar the leaves should be bent over to protect the head
from the sun and weather, thereby bleaching it to a pure
white. Arrange leaves so that water can drain off and will not settle
on the curd.

Bleaching
the Heads

Harvesting Three
cuttings
are usually made in
the cauliflower crop.
Tie the first batch
of leaves with string,
the second with raf-
fia, and bleach the
third by breaking
the leaves over. —
Thus you can dif-
ferentiate between
the three cuttings
and will not have to
examine each head
as to maturity.

Enemies The

enemies of
the cauliflower are
the same as those
of cabbages, and the
means of protection
against them are
the same.

Snowball Cauliflower- — '7000 to 8000 heads per acre

“Proved very satisfactory”

“Your cauliflower seed proved very satisfactory in 1924, and I take a great
deal of pleasure in recommending it.”

Samuel Komright, It. F. D., Monsey, New York

Change the lo-
cality of your cau-
liflower field each
year. Use import-
ed Danish seed,
keep your crop
growing, and the
success of your
cauliflower crop
will be assured.

mentioned before
the care of cauli-
flower is the same
as that of cabbage.

Danish Qiant Caulifloiper— 7000 to 8000 heads per acre

Cauliflower

(For prices see enclosed price list)

EARLY EXPRESS SNOW BALL— Undoubtedly the finest
and most popular of the early varieties. Fine for forcing
or holding over winter for extra early crop. Can also be
grown as a late summer and fall crop. Heads medium to
large in size, compact, pure white and curd-like. A sure
and early header. Sturdy plant with short, upright leaves.
Seeds of the very highest strength and purity.

EXTRA EARLY DWARF ERFURT— An excellent sort very
similar to the Snowball, but a little later. One of the best
for general cultivation.

DRY WEATHER DANISH GIANT— Second early, extra
large, compact, pure white heads, tall foliage protecting
from unfavorable weather conditions. The best variety to
use in localities subject to dry, warm seasons.

“Satisfactory in every way”

“The cauliflower which I raised from seed purchased from you was very satis-
factory in every way.”

John H. Leister, Fair Ground Hill, Maryland

Beets

DETROIT DARK RED — The beets are of perfect globe shape with
small tops and fine tap roots. The color is deep red without light
colored rings. This is the best beet for canning and is excellent
for market and home use. It remains tender and sweet even after
it gets quite large. It is not as early as Crosby’s Egyptian. The
beets of this selected strain are uniformly of almost perfect shape
and deep red color. There is no finer strain of this variety grown
no matter what price is charged for the seed.

CROSBY’S EGYPTIAN — This variety is grown extensively by the
leading market growers. The skin is smooth and of a dark red color.
The foliage is rather sparse and erect. The roots are almost round,
with a small tap-root and a very small crown of leaves. The flesh
of the beets is deep blood-red with slightly lighter zonings. The
texture is crisp and fibre-free.

Carrots

CHANTENAY — The most popular carrot for table use and market.
The roots quickly grow 5 to 6 inches long, average 3 inches in diameter
at shoulder, tapering only slightly and quite square or stump-rooted
at the bottom. The color is deep orange and the roots are fine
grained, smooth as a bottle and of the finest quality. No hard core.
Fine for winter use.

DANVERS HALF LONG — The roots taper a little more at the bottom
than Chantenay and grow about two inches longer, being 7 to 8 inches
in length. This variety is planted on a large scale by market
growers, as the fine roots find a ready sale everywhere, besides being
one of the very best for table use. The flesh is a rich orange color
throughout, with a large, well-defined core. The texture of the roots
is fine-grained and free from any woody fibre. The flavor is remark-
ably sweet and tender. Easily stored for winter use. This variety
is very valuable for stock feeding as well as for markets. A thousand
bushels per acre is not at all unusual.

Spinach

KING OF DENMARK — A remarkable new spinach that is far superior
to all of the older kinds. It stands two weeks longer before running
to seed than any other variety. It also grows larger and yields more
than almost any other kind and is of superior quality. The leaves
are large, rounded, somewhat blistered, and deep green. The plants
grow vigorously and are ready to use as soon as any. King of
Denmark seeds mean more money from Spinach.

Dear Friend:

First read the letters on the last page of this folder. Why
do you suppose these gentlemen wrote those fine letters? For the same
reason which makes you write letters like that — they had so much bigger
crops than ever before, and they made so much more money out of them,
that they couldn’t help telling me about it.

When a man makes $200 to $300 per acre from cabbage and up to
$1000 per acre or more from cauliflower he has a right to be happy.

Mind you, I don't claim that my seeds if neglected will grow such crops.
But I do claim and can prove that if you will give my seeds the same
attention that you give other seeds, my seeds will give you a bigger crop
and more money. And if you will follow the instructions in my book,
giving my seeds good soil and proper cultivation, you will get crops like
you never had before.

Danish seeds for cabbage and cauliflower are known to be the
best. My seeds are all Danish. The best seed house in Denmark gathers
the best seeds grown there; then from the very best they pick the top—
notchers and according to my contract those come to me. In official
tests the seeds that I got from them produced bigger crops than the seeds
they kept for themselves.

I know every seed-man tells you his are best. He may honestly
believe it. But so many claims confuse you, and you may not know what
to believe.

I am so sure of my seeds that all I have to do is get a man
to try them once. After that he is a steady customer and would not use
any other seed. You can doubt if you like. But while you are doubting
other men are planting Klitgord seed and later on when you are getting
12 to 18 tons per acre they will be getting 20 to 30 tons. You can get
20 to 30 tons too — order your Klitgord seeds now. (Order blank and price
list enclosed.)

Very truly yours,

M. KLITGORD

P. S. If you haven’t a copy of my book "More Money Per Acre
From Cauliflower and Cabbage" let me know. It
explains why Danish seeds are best, tells the
best methods of raising and describes each
variety. Contains much interesting information.

Dear Sir: —

I am very much pleased with
the Extra Early Round Cabbage
seed I got from you. I set the
plants June 2nd, and loaded the
first carload August 2nd. It
yielded about 18 tons per acre.

My Glory yielded over 30 tons;
Copenhagen, 23 tons; and Danish
Ball Head, 19 tons per acre.

In ail I had over 300 tons of
cabbage from your seed, and no
disease of any kind.

I have used your seed for
seven years and have had great
success with it. I will use no
other seed at any price.
