HARDY crown WEGETABLE PLANTS 
These strong, thrifty plants are grown in the open field in the South, where the climatic condi- 
tions are just suited for growing tough, hardy vegetable plants during the winter and early spring. 
The plants make a slow but steady growth until they are in a toughened condition and are ready 
to be shipped to territory farther North for planting earlier than hotbed or coldframe plants. 
Commercial growers write for prices on larger quantities.

outdoors.
