KALE, or BORECOLE 



Blatterkohl, Ger. 



CULTURE — Excellent greens for winter and spring use and improved by trost. Sow from May to June, in drills about \\ feet 

 apart, and cultivate the same as Cabbage. For early spring use sow in September, and protect during winter. Some of the varieties 

 (Dreer's Imperial Long Standing, for instance) are so hardy that the green leaves may be dug out from under the snow in winter and used 

 for greens. One ounce of seed will produce about 3000 plants. 



Sea Kale (Crambc MarUima). Not a true Kale (which means a 

 member of the Cabbage family), but a perennial which should 

 be grown and cultivated like rhubarb. The edible parts are the 

 young, strong shoots that come up in early spring. When 

 blanched, they are cooked and served like asparagus, or the 

 leaves may be used as greens. Pkt., 10 cts.; oz., 35 cts.; \ lb.,

CULTURE — This turnip-rooted member of the Cabbage tribe is far superior to turnips in both flavor and keeping qualities. It 

 will never grow bitter and it is of far more delicate flavor. As early in the spring as the ground can be put in good garden condition, 

 sow it in rows like Radishes, Carrots or any other root crops. Thin the seedlings to stand 4 inches apart in the row, allowing 18 to 24 

 inches between the rows. The product is ready for use when the bulbs average 2 to 2\ inches in diameter. The thick outer skin should 

 be removed before boiling. Serve just like Turnips. One ounce of seed will sow a drill of about 300 feet.
