DANDELION. 



Common. Popular for greens, and when blanched for salad. . (5ee s p ecialties page 9) 

 Improved thick leaved. An early, large, broad-leaved variety.) 



EGG PLANT. 



Black Beauty. Very similar to the older and better known New York Spineless, but the 

 fruits are somewhat smaller, and it generally produces more fruits per plant. It does 

 not discolor until long after maturity 



New York Spineless — Henderson's Improved. The standard variety on every market. 

 The fruits are borne freely on a strong plant, which holds them off the ground well. 

 They are large, of good color, and perfect quality. Our stock is very uniform in color 

 and size. (See engraving.) (See specialties page 12) 



Florida High Bush. Very productive; large pear shaped, purple fruits of fine quality, 

 Plant carries fruit well above ground 



ENDIVE. Sometimes called Chicory. 



One of the best salads when blanched, also much used for garnishing; if boiled makes 

 fine greens. Succeeds best in spring and fall. 



Green Curled. A very well-bred stock. The inner leaves are so finely curled, and grow 

 so closely that they form a distinct heart. It blanches easily, the color is fine, and it 

 is very hardy. The densely curled character of the whole plant makes it very attract- 

 ive. (See specialties page 12) 



Golden Heart Endive is particularly valuable because it reaches perfection in mid- 

 summer when other salad plants are scarce 



Broad-Leaved Batavian. Escarolle. A variety with broad, fleshy leaves, very popu- 

 lar on almost every market. Our stock is good in every respect. It is very uniform 

 in size and habit, blanches quickly and is extremely hardy. (See engraving) (See 



specialties page 12) 



Green curled and Batavian are the best sorts for the market. 



KALE or BORECOLE. 



Largely grown for supplying greens during the fall, winter and spring; also used small, 

 like Spinach; and for garnishing. The plants are hardy above zero; frost improves 

 the quality. 



Dwarf Green Curled Scotch. A very densely curled and dark colored stock. Owing to 

 its dwarf habit it is not broken when borne to the ground by heavy snows (See 

 specialties page 12). 10 lb lots @ $1.00. 25 lb. lots @ 90c 



Siberian. Green, curly leaves; tender and of delicate flavor; very hardy. 10 ibsVand up- 

 wards 75c lb. (See specialties page 12) 



Brown German Curled, or Purple. Purplish, curly leaves 



KOHL-RABI. 



A bulbous-formed vegetable; when cooked before fully grown, is tender and excellent 



combining the flavors of Cabbage and Turnip. 

 Large White Vienna. Large, quick-growing greenish-white skin and tender white flesh . 

 Short-Leaved Early White Vienna. Early and rapid growing, with few and small 



leaves; the most delicately flavored; indispensable for frames and forcing; can be 



planted closely. (See engraving) (See specialties page 12)
