 100 days. [Introduced by German immigrants about 1840.] In Virginia in the early 1900's, gardeners used to sow seeds of this variety and use it as a source of cut greens while the heads were forming. Large, broad, flat heads, weighing 10 to 15 lbs. and measuring 7 x 14 in.. The low-growing heads have a short core and excellent wrapper leaves. May grow poorly in hot weather but revives quickly with onset of cool, wet weather. Has very good keeping quality. Pkt. |
