pact, of excellent quality ; outer leaves roundish or oval, 
usually distinctly reflexed, border strongly undulate, ap- 
proaching ruffled ; stem very short. 
This has proved a very reliable intermediate variety. It 
matures slightly earlier than Fottler’s Brunswick. | 
Correctly figured in Gregory’s catalogue of 1886 and pre- 
vious years. 
No. 10. Harly Deep Head, Greg., ’84, ’85, ’86. 
A strain of Fottler’s Brunswick having the head a little 
larger and rather less flattened, and the outer head leaves 
more overlapping. In season it is the same. 
Correctly figured in Gregory’s catalogue of 1886 and pre- 
‘vious years. 
No 11. Harly Drumhead, Brill., ’86; Burr. 
Doubtfully distinct from the Early Summer, differing 
less from it than different plantings of the same differed 
from each other. 
No. 12. Harty Fiat Duron, HEn., ’86; BRILL. 
Syn. Harly Dwarf Flat Dutch, Sib., ’83. 
Plant medium to rather small, rather low and spreading; 
foliage pale bluish-green, quite glaucous; leaves rather thick 
-and stiff ; head medium to large, distinctly flattened, very 
compact and well defined ; the outer head leaves do not 
meet at the top, the outermost one shortly recurving; outer 
leaves small compared to the size of the head, roundish or 
oval, inclining to spoon-form, but often strongly reflexed, 
borders undulate or plain, lower leaves usually petioled ; 
‘stem very short. 
A very excellent second early variety, of which several 
‘strains are extant. It matures about ten days later than 
Early Wakefield. 
‘A cross between the Oxheart and Large Flat Dutch. 
Plants usually grown in hot beds. If kept in cold frames 
“over winter, they are very liable to go to seed, unless they 
are small and bedded late.”—Francis Brill. 
No. 138, Harly Summer, Brill, ’86; Hen., ’86. 
Syn. Henderson’s Karly Summer, Brill, ’86; Ev., 86; Greg., ’85, 86; Vra. 
‘Gar.; Hen., ’86; Land., 85; Sib., ’83, ’86; Thor., ’86: Landreth’s Early 
Summer Plat-Head? Land., ’84, 86; Ravson’s Early Summer, Rawson, ’86. 
Scarcely if at all distinct from Early Flat Dutch. In our 
tests it has run rather more uniform than that variety, and 
the outer leaves are possibly a little less developed with the 
border rather less undulate.
