Autumn .King. 
AUTUMN KING OR WORLD BEATER (See cut.) This is 
an extremely large headed late variety, one of the very best 
ever introduced. The plant is of extra strong growth, with 
an abundance of dark, bluish-green, finely crimped leaves 
growing closely about the large flattened heads. It should 
be planted by the middle of June to produce the best results, 
as the heads are of such enormous size they require a longer 
time to mature than some of the earlier and smaller sorts.
