LITTLE PIXIE with me is earlier than Early York, as reliable for heading, heads much harder, and is of better flavor; the heads do not grow quite as large. ~Early Oxheart.~ Heads nearly egg-shaped, small, hard, few waste leaves, stumps short. A little later than Early York. Have the rows two feet apart, and the plants eighteen inches apart in the row. Matures about ten days later than Early York.
~Large French Oxheart~ closely resembles Early Oxheart, but grows to double the size, and is about ten days later; quality usually good. ~Early Sugar Loaf.~ Heads shaped much like a loaf of sugar standing on its smaller end, resembling, as Burr well says, a head of Cos lettuce in its shape, and in the peculiar clasping of the leaves about the head.
The following are foreign varieties that are accepted in this country as standards, and for years have been more or less extensively cultivated: EARLY YORK, EARLY OXHEART, EARLY WINNIGSTADT, RED DUTCH, RED DRUMHEAD. In my experience as a seed dealer, the Sugar Loaf and Oxheart are losing ground in the farming community, the Early Jersey Wakefield having, to a large extent, replaced them.
Irregular in length of stump. ~Early Paris.~ Closely resembles Wakefield. ~Very Early Etampes.~ Earlier than Wakefield. Shape partakes of both Oxheart and Wakefield. ~Early Mohawk.~ Light green in color; a good header, but not so hard heading as Fottler. Appears to have a little of the Savoy cross in it. ~Sure Head.~ A late variety of the Dutch class; reliable for heading; stump rather long.
