second early or medium early sorts, very hardy, with a very hard sharply pointed head and a very sure cropper. Owing to 

 its compact and upright habit of growth and peculiar texture of its rather short and thick, dark green leaves, the variety

 very extensively used for the home garden. It is sometimes planted late and then makes a desirable winter cabbage.
