Why wait? It takes less time for these to mature than any other cabbages. Cuts your growing time in half compared to full season varieties. Both of these are open pollinated, so do not mature uni- formly at the same time. That’s good, since most people can’t use so many heads of cabbage all at once.
01527 EARLIANA. Small round green heads, marvelous taste, just under 2 lbs. 57 days.
01565 RED EXPRESS. Deep round 2 lb. red heads, fine flavor, great for salads. 55 days.
