knowledged by large gardeners to be one of the most reliable varietiesf or head-

yielding heads of enormous size and of the very best quality. Iti sweet- 
ness, tenderness and lichness of flavor it surp£iss(.s any other variety we have 
ever tested, while in keeping qualities it is equalled by very few of the'l.nte sorts.
