 table or by the market-gardener. Whether grown in the open ground 

 for summer and fall use or in frames for spring and early summer, or 

 forced in greenhouses for winter use, it invariably gives the greatest 

 satisfaction, producing large, fine, buttery yellow heads, thoroughly 

 blanched leaves, crisp, tender, sweet and white. It has compara-
