ARGELY grown for supplying " greens " during the 

 - fall, winter and spring; also used small, like Spin- 

 ach; also useful in garnishing. The plants are hardy 

 above zero; frost improves the quality. 

 Dwarf Green Curled Scotch. We offer Market Gardeners 

 a very fine stock of this favorite sort. The leaves are very 

 large, deeply curled and- fringed, and of that desirable rich 

 bright green color; the plants are of very dwarf, even growth, 

 the leaves hugging the ground, so that they are not broken 

 off by heavy, wet snow, as often happens with taller tvpes.

" Your Dwarf Scotch Kale is as fine to-day as in the fall, and has been out all 

 winter, and for one week the tliermometer went 30 degrees below zero." —

BEST MARKET 

 GARDENERS' VARIETIES. 



Large American Flag. We offer you a very superior 

 stock of this popular variety, so largely grown for fall and 

 early winter sales. It is of quick, strong growth, produc- 

 ing long stems of uniform shape and size, averaging 2 inches 

 through by 10 inches long, blanching beautifully white and 

 of fine, mild flavor. It makes attractive and saleable bunches. 

 (See cut.) 20c. oz., 50c. I lb., $1.40 lb. 



Musselburgh, or Scotch Champion. This is the best variety for 

 winter and spring sales, being very hardy; it keeps well when 

 earthed up. It is of slower growth than American Flag, making im- 

 mense stocky stems about 3 inches through by 6 to 8 inches long. The 

 leaves are broad and flat, consequently not much injured by snow, and 

 recover their fresh green color quickly in spring. 20c. oz., 50c. i lb., $1.60 lb.
