Open notebook with handwritten text from the post at the top of the page with additional text: “Colza and Rapeseed are very similar plants; both belong to the Cruciferae (mustard family); the flowers of plants of this family have a cruciform corolla formed by 4 petals; both plants belong to the same genus, Brassica; the B. napus, var. oleifera is the colza; B. rapa, var. oleifera is the rapeseed and also the turnip, and B. napus is the rape. Colza has leaves that are smooth and glaucous; the anthers of the flowering buds show a small dark spot at the apex, and the fruits are borne almost horizontally. In the rapeseed the leaves are green, rough, and somewhat bristly, the anthers do not have the dark spots, the fruits are erect and the roundish seeds are redder and smaller than those of the colza. Both plants are cultivated for the oil-rich seeds. After extraction and purification the oil can be used for nutritional purposes. Rapeseed is 10% less productive than colza, and its cultivation is declining compared to other oilseed plants." — Francesco Bianchini and Francesco Corbetta, Fruits of the Earth translated from the Italian by Italia and Alberto Mancinelli, 1973. Below the text is a large format card with a color drawing of an uprooted dandelion plant with a yellow bloom, a green blue pen with a glass dip nib, a swatch of bright green ink and a large art deco style bottle of said ink.
