ing during the winter months, when other vege- 
tables are scarce. Borecole should be grown like 
cabbage, the seed being sown from early spring

off the lower leaves and let the plant grow on 
to furnish a continuous supply.

Scotch much more curled than the Dwarf-

as hardy as Hardy Winter, and very popular with 
many of our customers.
