Savoy has been under cultivation in the United States for 



ninety-five years, and, although the type has 



been greatly improved during that time, it is 



still unsurpassed b}' anything yet introduced. 



It is sometimes called Norfolk Savoy. The 



plant is distinguished by its upright 



growth and thick, dark green leaves 



which are beautifully crumpled and 



blistered. It is desirable to make 



plantings in October and November for 



early spring cutting, although a very 



large acreage of the variety is planted in 



February, March, and April for later 



spring cutting. Bloomsdale is not recom- 

 mended as a warm-season type. Our 



strain is the best available. Price, pkt.

Long .season. This Savoy-leaved type 



was introduced twenty-three years ago. It 



is especially adapted for warm-weather cuiti 



vation as it will not shoot to seed readily at 



maturity. Our strain is beautifully crumpled and 



is a rich dark green color, being very compact 



and spreading, in a large rosette. For general uni- 

 formity we know of no better strains than these 



we offer herewith. Price, pkt. 10 cts., oz, 15 cts.,
