Blonde Beauty is somewhat wrinkled and appears to be a type about half waj- 

 between (jrand Kapids and -Ml Seasons. The leaves are course and form large, compact 

 heads. The edible maturity is of long duration. 



Bronze Curled, from Landreth, is a very attractive bronze red variety. The leaves 

 are small, closely crinkled, very crisp and mild flavored. Jt stands well and is one 

 of the best red sorts. 



Bronze Hod is darker red than the former and forms a more compact head. The 

 delicately colored margins of the leaves forming the large, solid heads, together with 

 the desirable quality, makes it one of the leading sorts of its class. 



Brown Dutch has a dull, greenish-red color; leaves are smooth and form a loose, 

 open head. Xot as desirable as either of the other bronze varieties. 



Buckbee Forcing is of the Grand Rapids type, but the leaves arc not as much 

 crinkled. It grows upright, matures quickly, seeds readily. The quality is good and 

 appears to be valuable for a (juick growing sort. 



California Cream Butter is a small heading sort of good quality. The leaves are 

 small, oval, smooth, closely covering the compact tender }iead. 



Crisp as Ice is one of the best red varieties. It is very attractive and of excellent 

 quality. The heads are not large, but are compact and tender. 



Detroit ilarket is of the same type as Buckbee's Forcing, but does not grow quite as 

 large. 



Denver Market is very attractive for its kind. Tlie leaves are finely crinkled, 

 large, crisp and tender. Matures quickly and stands for a good period. 



Early Curled Silesia ai)pcars to be very much like Crand liapids Forcing. It is a
