FENNEL, ANISE or FINOCCHIO 



No. 57. Florence 



A native of Italy. Plants 3 feet tall, with broad, overlapping leaves 

 forming a bulb-like vegetable at the base of the stem. The seed is usually 

 sown in the spring for a summer crop, in rows 16 inches apart and 

 thinned to 5 inches apart. Fennel requires a good deal of moisture. 

 The plant is usually eaten boiled. In flavor it somewhat resembles 

 celery, but is far more aromatic with a delicate, sweet flavor.

KOHLRABI 



No. 58. Extra-Early White Vienna 



A successful forcing type 



Days to maturity, 45. This extra-early forcing strain with an unusually 

 short top-leaf is one of European origin. It permits planting very close 

 together and is undoubtedly the finest available strain either for forcing 

 or for outdoor use. To insure success, sowing should be made every 

 10 days.

KALE or BORECOLE 



No. 59. Dwarf Blue Scotch 



A special extra-curled selection 



Days to maturity, 55. This special selection for blue-green color has been made for about 10 years. 

 Its advantage over the old Dwarf Green Curled Scotch is that it will hold without yellowing for long- 

 distance shipments, thus commanding a higher price on the market. It develops to a large size and pro- 

 duces a great mass of foliage. It also is highly resistant against severe winter weather. The leaves are 

 intricately and most beautifully curled and in the spring stand for a long time before turning yellow.

Fennel 



No. 60. Siberian 



An extra-curled, long-standing type 



Days to maturity, 65. This stock is valuable because it has been bred for the extra-curled type. It will 

 withstand extremely low temperatures and is very slow to shoot to seed in the spring. The shape and the 

 curling of the leaf give it the appearance of an immense ostrich feather. It retains its stiffness a long time 

 after being cut. The color is a rich blue-green with a purple tinge.
