SUPERIOR VEGETABLE SEEDS 



BORECOLE— Scotch Kale 



Extensively grown in this section for market- 

 ing during the winter months, when other vege- 

 tables are scarce. Borecole should be grown like 

 cabbage, the seed being sown from early spring 

 to the middle of August. It is customary to pull 

 off the lower leaves and let the plant grow on 

 to furnish a continuous supply.
