■^one of the best for growing for cTTgtant markets or for late 

 spring use. The plant is vigorous, rather compact grow- 

 ing, with a longer stem than mo.st American sorts and ex- 

 ceedingly hardy, not only in resisting cold but also dry 

 weather; it matures its head a little later than the Flat 

 Dutch. The leaves are large, very thick, bluish-green cov- 

 ered with whitish bloom. The head is round, of less diame- 

 ter than that of the Flat Dutch, but very solid. The leaves 

 of the head are very thick, white and tender and not only 

 overlap or pass by each other more than those of most 

 sorts, but are so tightly drawn as to form an exceedingly 

 solid head which stands shipment better and arrives at its 

 destination in more attractive shape 

 than those of any other late sort. In 

 quality it is one of the best, being very 

 white, crisp and tender. We have 

 given a great deal of attention to this 

 variety and offer seed of our own 

 growing which we believe will pro- 

 duce a crop of more uniformly typi- 

 cal heads than can be grown from 

 other stocks. See page 2U and iUus-
