A data frame with 18 observations on 8 variables:
rll{
[ , 1] factor winters
[ , 2] factor shadow
[ , 3] factor tubers
[ , 4] factor color
[ , 5] ordered soil
[ , 6] ordered preference
[ , 7] numeric height
[ , 8] numeric distance
} winters
is binary and indicates whether the plant may be left
in the garden when it freezes.
shadow
is binary and shows whether the plant needs to stand
in the shadow.
tubers
