This variety is very hardy, very handsome, very solid 

 of the best keepers and of fine quahty. It is one'of the 

 for growing for dLstant markets or foV late spring 

 use/ The plant is vigorous, rather compact grow- 

 ing, with a longer stem than most American sorts 

 and exceedingly hardy, not only in resisting cold, 

 but also dry weather fit matures its head a little 

 later than the Flat Dutch. The leaves are large, 

 ■very thick, bluish-green covered Arith whitish 

 bloom. The head is round, of less diameter than 

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

 of the head are verj' 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 »vhich 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 

 ver>' 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 ^\'ill 

 produce a crop of more uniformly typical heads 

 than can b" grown from other stocks. Pkt. 5c;
