 & ■DOolOIl during the winter months, as it produces 

 heads of very large size, often 12 inches or more across, and succeeds 

 better in cooler temperature than most forcing strains. The large 

 heads are beautifully blanched and of superior quality. It also 

 heads well in the open ground during cool weather of spring and
