ENDIVE 
DEEP HEART FRINGED 
This variety is an entirely new type of Endive, developed from Full- 
Hearted Batavian, but is entirely distinct from that variety. The plants 
are of more upright growth than other varieties; the outer leaves turn 
upward thus reducing the possibility of injury from bottom rots. The 
leaves resemble Green Curled in color, but are broader, although the 
leaf margins are as deeply cut and curled. The hearts are well filled 
and closely packed, with numerous well blanched fine leaves. The 
‘plants of Deep Heart Fringed often reach a diameter of about 12 
inches and a depth of 7 inches or more. A most desirable variety for 
market and shipping. Season 90 days.

excellent type for fall crop. Season 95 days.
