 & raised in a cold-frame. It is not easily affected by cold or wet weather, grows 

 very quickly and produces, even in poor soil, splendid globular heads, which are ready ten to fif- 

 teen days before other heading varieties, and stands a long time before showing signs of running to 

 seed. The leaves inside are of a golden yellow shade; and in point of flavor unexcelled by any 

 sort. Pkt., sc.; oz., 15c; % lb., 40c; lb., $1.25.
