green, Evergreen and Lice Resisting. This splendid “greens” 
plant is rapidly gaining in popularity throughout the South.

and Mustard, and preferred by many to either. It is becoming 
popular in markets and is fine for both home garden and mar- ; 
ket growers. It can be grown most of the year, being quite 
hardy in winter and standing hot weather as well. Leaves j 
are large, thick, succulent, of deep green color and with small 
midribs.
