Wirsing, Vil. is 
Plant rather large, foliage very dull, rather dark green, 
scarcely glaucous, rather densely, prominently and finely 
blistered ; head roundish or slightly flattened, pale green, 
very compact ; outer leaves rather numerous, roundish or 
oval, flat or reflexed, sometimes spoon-form, border finely 
undulate, sometimes approaching ruffled; stem usually 
very short. 
The degree of blistering of the leaves in this Savoy is 
rather intermediate, being decidedly greater than in the 
Norwegian, and considerably less than in the Victoria. It 
is very reliable for heading, rather late in season, and is 
said to keep well until spring. It is considered a standard 
sort wherever grown.
