MAMMOTH 



Green Curled Endive 



This verj- beautiful and valuable new 

 sort is the wonder of all who have grown 

 it. A single plant, when full grown, will 

 cover a space of twenty inches in diameter, 

 tlie growth being very rapid and .strong. 

 The leaves are very crisp, numerous, broad, 

 deeply serrated, beautifully curled in every 

 i-tuge of growth, and of "a bright, lively 

 green color, with a very small midrib, 

 which is pure white, fleshy and tender. 

 It is so very hardy that it will remain on 

 the ground uninjiired in this latitude dur- 

 ing theentire winter if given a light cover- 

 ing of hay or straw the same as spinach. 

 It is more tender, profitable and salable 

 than any other existing sort. Oz., 25c.; 3>4, 

 lb., 70c.; lb., K..50.

New Long Standing Winter 

 ^ Mm. ^^ 



We distributed seed of this new Swed- 

 ish variety among many of our best gar- 

 deners for trial last spring. They all agree 

 in pronouncing it a most valuable and 

 distinct variety, growing fully as large as 

 the New Mammoth Green Curled, but more 

 upright in growth and self-bleaching to a 

 remarkable extent, assuming a beautiful 

 cream white in the centre and blending 

 off to a beautiful pale green. It is ex- 

 tremely hardy, and will stand longer and 

 keep better than any other known sort. We 

 hope all who grow Endive will give it a 

 trial. Accompanying cut was made from 

 a photograph. Seed very scarce this sea- 

 son. Pkt., 10c. ; oz., 40c.; % lb., $1.25.
