The variety was subsequently refined for American growing conditions and became a favorite among nineteenth-century market gardeners. By the late 1860s, it was appearing in American seed catalogs, where its early maturity, reliable heading, and excellent quality helped establish its lasting popularity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEarly Jersey Wakefield is particularly well suited to spring gardens, where its relatively small heads make efficient use of limited growing space.
