 high into a second bed or into small pots. If this is not done, thin to 4 inches apart.

Culture. The Kales are more hardy than Cabbage, make excellent greens for winter and spring use, 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 the green leaves maybe dug out from 

 under the snow in winter and be used for greens. 



113. Bore Cole or Kale. 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 quickly 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 mostall vegetables 

 are scarce. Pkts. 5c and 10c. Oz. 15c. M Lb. 40c. Lb. $1.25.

 color beautifully curled and produced in great abundance. Pkt. 5c. Oz. 10c. K Lb. 20c. Lb. SOc.
