 stock of this favorite sort. The leaves are very large, deeply 

 ciu-led and fringed, and of that desirable rich bright green

 hugging the ground, so that they are not broken off by heavy, 

 wet snow, as often happens with taller types. {See cut.) Price,

LARGE AMERICAN FLAG. We offer a very superior 



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



early winter sales. It is of quick, strong growth, producing 



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.

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 



immense stocky stems about 3 inches through by 6 to 8 inches 



long. The leaves are broad and flat, and little injured by snow; they 



recover their fresh green color quickly in spring. Price, 20c. oz., 60c.
