Considered one of the most 
satisfactory sorts for pro- 
well folded and beautiful 
blanched heads in the family garden or 
to grow extensively for market. Grow- 
ing to large size, it is later than most of 
the other sorts, but is the most sure head- 
ing of any of the large buttery sort. The 
inside of the head blanches to a beauti- 
ful golden yellow, and is of a rich but- 
tery flavor. Th« outer leaves are of a light 
golden yellow, and grow closely about the 
large compact heads. Pkt., 5c; oz., 10c;
