The time of forming the head is omitted in many varieties.. 
The majority of these failed to form heads, though in a few cases: 
the plants formed heads, but the time was not noted. It appears, 
also that the date of complete maturity of the seed is sometimes: 
omitted. In such cases the plants either blighted so badly that no 
seed ripened, or else the heads were so firm that the seed stalk seem- 
ed unable to burst its bonds.
