Plant resembles in general appearance the Winnigstadt, 
but differs from it in having a less bluish cast, a rather 
shorter, less distinctly pointed and less compact head. 
Plant of medium size, upright rather than spreading, 
medium or rather deep green, slightly glaucous ; head of 
medium size, Oxheart shape, but rather taller than that of 
the Large Oxheart, clear or pale green, compact; outer head 
leaves scarcely meeting on fully developed heads; outer 
leaves roundish, nearly flat or inclining to spoon-form, bor- 
ders distinctly ruffled, surface smooth. 
Larger than the Oxheart, but not less early. It is 
especially adapted to the mild maratime climates of the 
west of France, where it is largely cultivated. It came 
originally from Saint Brieuc.—Vil.

The plant rather closely resembles that of Early Wake- 
field, the chief difference in the appearance being that the 
outer leaves are not quite so roundish, being more inclined 
to spatulate, grow rather more upright, and are usually 
either more or less spoon-form or revolute, being rarely flat. 
They are sometimes much twisted or distorted. The head 
is of about the same size, shape and texture, but matures 
on the average about ten days later ; stem short.
