 toothed at the edges and more or 

 less twisted, but they are not finely cut 

 as are Green and White Curled. It is 

 a variety which is easily blanched 

 if tied properly at the proper time. 

 The inner leaves are wonderfully 

 tender and crisp, making a most de- 

 licious salad. Price, large pkt. 10 cts.,

 frequently occurs as a weed, having escaped from 

 cultivation.

 green. Price, large pkt. 10 cts., oz. 20 cts., V4lb. 45 cts., lb. $1.50, 5 lbs. $7.00, 10 lbs. $14.00, delivered.

The plant has a more spreading habit than the Scotch or Siberian, but the leaves are beautifully curled 

 and crimpled. While the quality is very fair, it is not equal to the Scotch. The plant itself will be 

 larger than either of the other varieties, and, therefore, has a distinct value commercially. The color is 

 a bright green. Price, large pkt. lOc, oz. 20c., y4lb. 45c., lb. $1.50, 5 lbs. $7.00, 10 lbs. $14^00, delivere d.
