ENKHUIZEN, LONG STANDING. This genuine

 several years ago. We have often seen it stand so long that

 hence its great value for spring sowing. The leaves are 

 round, large, unusually thick, deeply curled and of a fine 

 dark green color. Our stock is grown in Holland especially 

 for us. This variety is superior to the ordinary Long Stand- 

 ing offered in many catalogues. Pkt., 5c.; oz., lOc; J^lb.,
