  This

  This

  many 
  forms 
  commonly 
  grown 
  in 
  the 
  Mediterranean 
  region 
  of 
  

   the 
  three 
  continents. 
  It 
  is 
  a 
  rapid 
  grower 
  and 
  spineless 
  enough 
  to 
  be 
  fed 
  to 
  stock 
  

   without 
  singeing. 
  It 
  will 
  be 
  grown 
  for 
  study, 
  but 
  probably 
  has 
  no 
  advantage 
  over 
  

   forms 
  we 
  already 
  have."
