Glory of Enkhuizen (90 days)
Introduced in 1899 by Sluis & Groot, in Enkhuizen, Holland.
From the 1929 Steele Briggs Seeds says...
"Possesses exceptional merit in color, earliness and size - no other variety combines these desirable qualities and superb table value so well. Heads round, hard, large size, dense, weighing heavy, and color nice green. Leaves fine-ribbed and quality excellent. May be grown as an early sort, or if planted late in the season makes splendid, keeping variety. Popular among market gardeners and unexcelled for the home garden."
From the 1932 Dupuy & Ferguson Seeds says...
"Large size with good keeping quality. Heads are a nice size for the market, weighing about 9-11lbs. Each. Globe shaped and handsome dark green in colour. Unusually firm and solid heads for an early sort. Fine ribbed leaves. This is not only valuable as an early variety, but as it grows large it may be profitably raised for main crop for fall use. Tender and of excellent quality. Early. The outer leaves set close, permitting planting of more heads to the acre, thus increasing the yield."
