 Brazilian Beet. Leaves are crinkled and all shades of crimson, rose a

Coleus-leaved Borecole. A new form of variegated Kale, very useful and quaint for gar- 

 nishing and splendid for bedding, especially where a late display is desired, as it stands almost 

 zero weather. The finely cut and curled leaves take on, at approach of autumn, many striking 

 colors, shades of rose and pink, violet, green, white, yellow and purple.
