BEDAR WOOD. — Foliage is a dark green color, rather tall and has long rather narrow leaves. It is noted for its long roots, which ex- tend deep in the soil and enables it to endure dry weather better varieties. The plants of this variety are not large, but they bear a large crop and this is what most growers are looking for.
