The column of Days applies to spring plantings in the Northern states. Varieties marked are smooth seeded; those marked are prickly seeded.

Plant large, uniform, erect and sturdy, with attractive dark green leaves, highly crumpled. DARK GREEN BLOOMSDALE, 40 A special strain of Reselected Bloomsdale, distinguished by its deep color and therefore esteemed by long-distance shippers as it retains a fresh appearance at market.

Plant vigorous and spreading; slow to form seed stalks, and a heavy yielder Leaves large, thick, smooth, pointed with rounded tip; medium green, tender. The best of the smooth, thick-leaved sorts.
