Burpee's Early Stonehead Cabbage
This distinct type( also called Volga ), is especially adapted for cool localities. It generally matures shortly after our famous Allhead Early. The plants are of low growth, with spreading saucer-like outer leaves, making a total diameter of two feet. The heads are deep through and smoothly rounded on the top as distinct from the flat type. The heads are exceptionally hard and solid, of great weight, and stand a long time before bursting. Of a distinct light gray color, the spreading outer leaves shade the soil about the roots very effectually. Early Stonehead is an excellent variety to plant for making “krout,” ext. pkt., 10c; oz., 30c; ¼ lb., 85c; lb., $3.00
