ful solid head, which is very crisp and tender; 
outer leaves light green, with beautiful 
crumpled yellow inside leaves; of a rich but¬ 
tery flavor, absolutely free from any bitter¬ 
ness and will not turn red from cold. It can 
be sown broadcast in September and trans¬ 
planted in cold frames to cut early in the
