mediately, and the warm leaves over 

 them, The pots should be. covered 

 with the driest parts first. When 

 leaves are used, these should be covered 

 over with some long littery material, to 

 prevent their being blown about by 

 winds. The whole covering should be 

 from a foot to a foot ami half thick 

 every way round the pots, and put to- 

 gether snug and tight. We always 

 make our first covering (to be ready to 

 cut kale by Christmas day) during the 

 first fortnight in November. Of course 

 the weather has something to do with 

 the covering required. The heat had 

 better be too low than too high ; the 

 best temperatures are from f>0 to 60, 

 and should never exceed Go . "We at 

 all times use a few coal-ashes, just 

 enough to cover the crowns. When we 

 cut the kale, this prevents the slugs, 

 &c.j eating into the crowns. This re- 

 mains until cutting ceases, and the ma- 

 terials and pots are cleared away ; then 

 the whole is carefully forked over, and 

 the ashes spread about with the hand, 

 and all is made tidy for the summer 

 growth. See Sea -kale.
