Our White Boston is the perfected, pure-bred strain of Unrivalled. This is a cabbage, 
butter-head type, leaves smooth and straight on the edges. Plant and head entirely 
light green; heart buttery and yellow. This strain is the best in existence, and we 
have given it this name to distinguish it from Big Boston.
