The above are especially developed and selected for forcing. They should be grown quickly and used when small and tender, 
as they become pithy and flavorless when overgrown. Most of them are at theirbest when less thanan inch in diameter.

and they continue in good condition until they are full grown, when they are as large as the 
Wood’s Harly Frame. It has a small top and no tendency to neckiness. Market gardeners 
should use this for early planting, as its beautiful color will always attract attention, and its
