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 Septem- 

 ber, and protect during winter. Some of the varieties are so hardy that the green leaves may be 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 overwinter. 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 

 strippedoff and used for marketing. It will stand the coldest Winter. Besides being a delicious vegetable, it has 

 alway been an exceptionally profitable crop, bringing in money during the Winter months when most all vegetables 

 are scarce. Pkts. 5c and 10c. Oz. 15c. K Lb. 40c. Vi Lb. 65c. Lb. $1.25.

 does not go below zero. Very dwarf and spreading, rarely exceeding 13 inches in height. Leaves are a bright green 

 color beautifully curled and produced in great abundance. Pkt. 5c. Oz. 10c. % Lb. 15c. Lb- 50c.
