Redkoop, Red Drumhead (Seeds of Change is where I got mine), Red Acre (try 
victory seed company), Lasso (haven't tried that one up here).  I haven't 
been able to find the Redkoop seeds the last couple of years.  It is too hot 
here to grow any early cabbage but grew the Ruby Ball when we lived on the 
coast.
