A very early New York type, of compact growth, medium size, with 
small core and showing remarkable resistance to tip-burn. Its chief 
claim for wide favor seems to be its extreme earliness in the crisp leaf 
class. Compared with Jmperial 44 it is a week earlier, smaller, of 
better quality, more solid, somewhat quicker to bolt.
