Cnltnre. The Kales are more hardy than Cabbage, make excellent greens for winter and springu.se, and are 

 improved by frost. Sow from May to June, and cultivate the same as cabbage. For early Spring use sow in Sep- 

 tember, and protect during winter. Some of the varieties are so hardy that thelgreeu leaves may be dug out from 

 under the snow in winter and be used for greens. 



113. Bore Cole or Kale. Hardy Winter Spargel Kohl. The most salable, delicious and tender of all Winter 

 Kales. About Baltimore it is sown in May, and transplanted like cabbage to stand over Winter. It is taller than the 

 extra dwarf varieties and when the leaves are stripped or fall off, new tender leaves quicklj- grow out. Then they are 

 again stripped off and used for marketing. It will stand the coldest Winter. Besides being a delicious vegetable, it 

 has always been an exceptionally profitable crop, bringing in money during the Winter months when.most all vege- 

 tiible.s are scarce. Pkts. 5c and 10c. Oz. 20c. X Lb. 50c. Lb $1.50.

 color beautifully curled and produced in great abundance. Pkt. 10c. Oz. 15c. Jii Lb. 25c. Lb. 60c.
