Early Jersey Wakefield Cabbage (63 days)

One of the earliest accounts of Early Jersey Wakefield states that it was first grown in the U.S. by Francis Brill in Jersey City, N.J. It was obtained from England under the same name. This cabbage was first released publicly here by The Peter Henderson Seed Company in 1868.

Early Jersey Wakefield cabbage forms a compact, somewhat conical head with glaucous-green leaves. Early Jersey Wakfield is a wonderful early heading variety, occupying little garden space and was popular in nineteenth century markets.

A short-season variety particulary adapted in the South to overwintering in the field when small. Sensative to heat and does not thrive unless planted early, or grown in regions with cool summers. The variety is suited to home garden as well as farmer market culture for early market. Weighs 3-3.5 pounds, 12-14" in height and 20-22" in width.
