1890 Burpee Seed Catalog says about Danish Ballhead Cabbage....

"While in Denmark in 1886, we discovered a variety of cabbage called, from the shape of the heads, ball-head, which the Danes prize so highly that they grow it almost exclusively for winter cabbage, and annually export large quantities. It has been selected for more than fifty years by the Danish gardeners. The heads are hard, round of good marketable size, fine grained, and good keepers."
