 not discolor until long after maturity 



Hew York Spineless — Henderson's Improved. The standard variety on every market.

 fine greens. Succeeds best in spring and fall.

 so closely that they form a distinct heart. It blanches easily, the color is fine, and it 

 is very hardy. The densely curled character of the whole plant makes it very attract- 

 ive. (See specialties page 12) 



Golden Heart Endive is particularly valuable because it reaches perfection in mid- 

 summer when other salad plants are scarce

 lar on almost every market. Our stock is good in every respect. It is very uniform
