 Hearted Batavian, but is entirely distinct from that variety. The plants

 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.
