C pvpn Tr*r* This sort is cultivated ex- 
** tensively in the south for 
the tops which are used for greens. In 
many sections it is a favorite green feed for 
stock and its use like Rape for a pasture 
crop is quite general. This sort is very 
hardy and the growth usually continues 
throughout the winter. The variety is not

The seeds I got of you last year were 
certainly something fine. We had bigger

neighbors. We had a big crop of toma¬ 
toes also. I will always recommend your 
seeds. _ Mrs. Chris. Ludwig.
