Plant small in size; leaves deep, slightly bluish-green, not 
much glaucous; head small, oval, or inversely conical, 
nearly twice as long as thick; rather solid, deep green; outer 
head leaves distinctly hood-shaped; outer leaves few in 
number, inclining to upright, obovate, often reflexed and 
frequently waved in a peculiar manner, the midrib curving 
first upward, then downward, and upward again at the 
apex, leaves sometimes much twisted and distorted, margin 
and apex usually entire, and border plain; stem usually quite 
short, sometimes nearly as long as the head. 
An old and very popular early variety, said to have been 
introduced from Flanders into Yorkshire, EKng., (whence 
its name) more than a century ago. Owing to its 
small size and reliability for heading, it was for many years 
the most popular early cabbage with market gardeners, but 
has been largely superseded by more modern varieties.

The general characters are the same as in the Early York; 
but the plant is somewhat larger in all its parts, and the 
head is a little thicker in proportion to its length, rather 
more compact, and forms on the average about two weeks 
later. It is claimed that the plants endure the heat of the 
sun in warm climates better than those of the Early York.

scarcely later in maturing.
