 delicate flavor. Its uniformly dwarf habit renders it particularly 

 valuable for wintering over in the South for spring marketing. Price,

 plants are hardy above zero; frost improves the quality. 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 types. Price, 20c. oz., 60c. jib., $2.00 lb.
