A Cousin of the Cabbage 



The kale plant is a very close relative of the cabbage, 

 being, in point of fact, one of several related plants that have 

 probably developed from the same wild stock, greatly modified through 

 long generations of cultivation. Of the various cabbages, kale 

 is perhaps the least generally known. For that very rea- 

 son it should have exceptional interest for the 

 amateur worker in the vegetable garden.
