BLACK BEAUTY

 the most popular. The plants are strong, vigorous, and produce a 

 heavy crop of uniformly large, very dark purple egg shape fruits which

 superior to the ordinary stocks in use today.

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 ore as deeply cut and curled. The hearts ore 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. ^z. Vi lb. lb. 10 lbs.
