Early Curled Silesia. Grand Rapids. New York. It is of,un- usual size and solidity of head, with but little ten- dency to run to seed. It has been grown to eighteen inches in diameter, and weighing nearly four lbs., with heads almost solid as an early summer Cabbage, which in general form it somewhat resembles. The variety naturally blanch- es itself, is crisp, tender, of excellent flavor and always free from bitter- ness. The out side color is of a clear, deep apple green, while on the in- side the color is yellowish white- It is not a forcing variety, but is cer- tainly one of the best varieties for summer use ever introduced. Pkt. 5c, oz. 10c, lb. 80c. Grand Rapids.
