The most popular are of the well-known hard-heading Flat Dutch and Drumhead types. These are best exemplified in Burpee's Surehead. Safe Crop, Short-Stem Drumhead, and Lupton strains. The latter is distinct in having large flat heads, with outer leaves of a rich dark green, instead of the light gray or bluish cast of most varieties. Our strains of these varieties are grown especially for critical trade, and the heads are inspected carefully by us as they develop in the field. I hus we know that they are true to type, and of tlie most solid-heading character. Danish Ballhead,^!!/-^/ introduced by us. is now grown extensively, as it is not only remarkably sure in heading, but also an excellent keeper,—the hard, round heads coming out in the spring in even finer condition than when stored away.
