 perior type; the plants are of low, stocky, branching habit and

 of frostv nights, and they will keep in good condition for some 

 time. (See cut.) Price, iOc. pkt., 40c. oz., $1.25 M lb., $4.50 lb.

 merit; a prolific producer of uniformly large, purple-black fruits

KALE 



DWARF GREEN 



CURLED SCOTCH 



Largely grown for supplying "greens" during 

 the fall, winter and spring; also used small, like 

 Spinach; also useful in garnishing. The plants 

 are hardy above zero; frost improves the quality. 

 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 ofi' by heavy, wet snow, as often 

 happens with taller types. Price, 5c. pkt., 15c. 

 oz., 40c. Hlb., $1.20 lb. 



SHORT^LEAVED EARLY WHITE 



VIENNA KOHL^RABl 



Kohl-Rabi is a bulbous formed vegetable much 

 appreciated in Europe and too little known in 

 America. It is usually cooked before fully grown, 

 when it is tender and excellent. This variety is 

 one of the best, being very early, rapid growing, 

 tender and delicately flavored. The bulb is large 

 enough to be eaten in from 10 to 12 weeks from 

 sowing and as it is more tender and delicately 

 flavored before fully matured, it is advisable to 

 make successive sowings, rather" than depend upon 

 a standing crop. Price, 10c. pkt., 30c. oz., 90c. 

 M lb., $3.00 lb. 



GREEN CURLED ENDIVE 



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. A popular sort with finely cut leaves. Our strain is a long-standing 

 type. It is large, hardy and practically all heart, requiring but little aid in 

 blanching. (See cut.) Price, 10c. pkt., 20c. oz., 60c. }4 lb., $2.00 lb.
