CRESS 



BROAD LEAVED 45 



Differs from the Curled Cress in having the blade of the leaf entire, without any 

 divisions, and merely notched here and there on the edges. Leaves oval in shape, 

 about 2 inches long and 1 inch across. 



CURLED OR PEPPER GRASS 45 



Very hardy, fast growing annual which produces in a few weeks a good supply 

 of attractive, finely curled dark green foliage which is splendid for garnishing 

 and of a pleasant pungent flavor. 



TRUE WATER 180 



Hardy perennial water plant, the sprightly flavored leaves of which are prized for 

 salads as well as for garnishing. 



National Pickling 



CUCUMBER 



For the sake of uniformity in comparing earliness of varieties we have stated the approxi- 

 mate number of days required under ordinary circumstances to produce fruits of maximum 

 slicing size from seed planted out of doors early in June at our Oakview Experimental 

 Gardens near Detroit. The descriptions are of full sized slicers.
