Leading Varieties for Market Gar- 

 deners. 



One of the best salads, especially 

 when blanched; also much used 

 for garnishing; if boiled makes 

 fine " greens." Successive sowings 

 furnish a supply almost the year 

 round. 



GREEN CURLED. A popular sort 

 with finely cut leaves. Our strain 

 is a long-standing type. It is large, 

 hardy and practically all heart, re- 

 quiring but little aid in blanching 

 it. {See cut.) Price, 16c. oz., 40c. 

 | lb., $1.26 lb. 



BROAD LEAVED BATAVIAN, or 

 Escarolle. Large, thick, broad leaves 

 it forms large hearts, which, blanched 

 form one of the best winter salads, 

 though it is often marketed without 

 blanching. It is in great demand in all sections, especially 

 by the French and Italians. Price, 16c. oz., 40c. J lb., 



Kale or Borecole. 



Largely grown for supplying " greens " during the fall, 

 winter and spring; also used for garnishing. The plants 

 are hardy above zero; frost improves the quality. May 

 also be used when quite young as Spinach. 



DWARF GREEN CURLED SCOTCH. We offer a 

 very fine stock of this favorite sort. 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. (See cut.) Price, 10c. oz., 20c. { lb., 60c.lb. 



"Your Dwarf Scotch Kale is as fine to-day as in the fall, and has been 



out all winter, and for one week the thermometer went 30 degrees below zero."
