Improved Learning. 
Northern or Western variety I have ever tried. It is adapted to a 
variety of soils, and produces well on heavy and light soil. 
CRESS. 
Cbesson (Fr.), Kresse (Ger.), Berro (Sp.). 
Used for salad during winter and spring. Sow broad-cast or in 
drills six inches apart. 
Curled or Pepper Grass. Not much used in this section. 
Broad-leaved. This variety is extensively cultivated for the 
market. It is sown from early fall to late spring. The leaves resem¬ 
ble Water Cress; a variety which does not succeed, well here. Is con¬ 
sidered a very wholesome dish.
