These seeds were sown in open beds in April. The seed did not germinate freely, 

 and the plants grew slowly until after they were transplanted.

 were set out and thirteen developed fine heads; five plants were destroyed by Cutworms

 heads. Fit for the table by the middle of September. Heads, solid, large, crisp and

 fine flavour. Fit for the table all winter.
