Matures in 60 Days from Setting Out Transplants

Large plants form delicious white heads that are used fresh in salads, on relish trays, or cooked.

Sowing:

For early crop: start seed indoors 6 to 8 weeks before last frost date.
For later crop: plant directly outdoors in late spring or early summer.
Space seeds 2 inches apart in rows spaced 2 to 2½ feet apart.
Cover with 1/8 inch of fine soil, well pressed down.
Thinning:

When plants are 3 to 4 inches tall, thin or transplant 2 to 2½ feet apart.
Germination:

Germinates in 7 to 14 days depending on soil and weather conditions.
Remarks:

When the heads are formed and hard, they should be blanched by drawing leaves together and tying.
