Sow in rows one foot apart and one inch deep. 

 The seed is slow to germinate and should be given 

 the most favorable conditions. A deep, rich, loamy 

 soil is required. For winter use a few plants placed 

 in a box in the cellar will give a supply. 



EXTRA-DARK MOSS CURLED— The large 

 leaves are very heavily crimped and curled, being

 extra dark green coloring. Very productive, and 

 most attractive as a garnish, both on account of 

 this deep green coloring and fine mossy appearance.
