Culture. The Kales are more hardy than Cabbage, make 

 excellent greens for Winter emd Spring use, and are improved by frost. 

 Sow from M ay to June, and cultivate the same as Cabbage. For early 

 Spring use sow in September, 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. 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 quickly grow out. Then they are 

 ageiin 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 money during the Winter months when most all vegetables are 

 scarce. Pkts. 5c and 10c. }4 Oz. 15c. Oz. 25c. 2 Ozs. 45c. ^ Lb. 75c. H Lb. $1.35. Lb. $2.50.
