(AAS) 
Our selection for greater 
uniformity makes this one 
of the most adaptable and 
satisfactory strains of the 
Imperial type yet intro- 
duced. It is shipped during 
summer months from the 
Pacific Coast in large vol- 
ume—useful during winter 
in Florida and South Texas 
— planted during spring 
along the South Alantic 
Coast—and the main crop- 
per in the North for sum- 
mer and fall harvest. Our 
strain is sure heading, re- 
sistant to tip burn, stands 
up well in warm weather; 
performs particularly well 
on up-land soils and has 
been used successfully on 
muck, Plants are very 
large, vigorous, dark-green. 
Heads are large, firm, well folded with crisp brittle texture. Carries well in 
long distance shipping.
