Plant resembling in habit the St. John’s Day Early, but 
considerably larger in size; foliage deep green, slightly 
glaucous, leaves rather thick and stiff; head roundish or 
slightly flattened, very compact, rather pale green ; outer 
leaves not very numerous, closely set, about half erect, 
usually rather strongly recurved, roundish, inclining to 
spoon-form,. border plain, or slightly undulate, surface. 
nearly smooth. 
This cabbage is rather intermediate in habit between the 
Oxhearts and Early Summer. It differs from the former 
in having a round or flattened head, and more roundish 
leaves, and from the latter in its upright habit, darker and 
less glaucous foliage, and thicker head.
