CURLED OR CUTTING VARIETIES. This type does not form compact 
heads, but large masses of curly, crisp leaves, which are practically 
ever-bearing as they keep growing after picking; the best of these are:

GREEN-FLESHED VARIETIES. : 
535 THE ‘‘HENDERSON” BUSH. Radically different from any existing 
kind. The bush character is attained by a shortening of the stem be- 
tween the joints. There arejust as many l@aves on the plant as on other 
kinds, but these grow so compactly that the plant can be grown on one- 
half the space usually required. Notwithstanding its radical departure 
from existing types it is by no means a freak; its freedom from variation 
has been constant over the entire time of our observance of it. The 
fruit is small, but fully equal in quality to the old and justly esteemed 
Jenny Lind, which is probably the best flavored of all green-fleshed 
sorts. They are produced in abundance, in fact, we advise that each 
plant be allowed to ripen only about one-half of the fruit, as it is apt
