Prickly Winter

Round Summer
This variety is generally preferred for early sowing and is the most popular with our market gardeners; leaves large, thick and fleshy; not quite so hardy as the Prickly, but stands the winter very well.

Savoy-Leaved
The leaves of this variety are large, of good substance, and much wrinkled or curled, like the Savoy cabbage. It is a summer variety, and growing in favor; in the Southern States, it is preferred to all others. It is said by Southern market gardeners to yield twice the bulk of leaves of any other sort.
