Yi: 
One of the best for general use, being very hardy and sure to head, 
forming a hard head under circumstances where most sorts would 
fail, and those who have failed with other kinds can hope to succeed 
with this. It seems to suffer less from the cabbage worm than any 
other sort. Plant very compact, with short, thick leaves. Heads 
regular, conical, very hard, and keep well both summer and winter. 
It is the hardiest, not only as regards frost, 
but will suffer less from excessive wet, 
drought, insects or disease, than any other 
sort, and will give a fair crop of heads 
when all other sorts fail.
