VI CABBAGES, HOW TO GROW THEM, PTC. 



Winter in the open ground. Plant and cultivate like 

 Savoy cabbage. 



Tlic variegated sorts with their fine curled leaves of 

 a rich purple, green, red, white, or yellow color, are very 

 pleasing in their effects, and form a striking and attrac- 

 tive feature when planted in clumps in the flower garden- 

 particularly is this so because their extreme hardiness 

 leaves them in full vigor after the cold has destroyed 

 all other plants, — some of the richest colors are devel- 

 oped along the veins of the uppermost leaves after the 

 plant has nearly finished its growth for the season. The 

 Jersey Cow Kale grows to from three to six feet in 

 height and yields a great body of green food for stock ; 

 have the rows about three feet apart, and the plants two 

 to three feet distant in the rows. In several instances 

 my customers have written me that this kale raised for 

 stock feed lias given them great satisfaction. 



The Thousand Headed Kale is a tali variety send 

 ing out numerous side shoots, whence the name.
