 spring as practicable, in drills 1 

 inch deep and 1 foot apart. When

 rapidly increasing, combines the virtues of the turnip and 

 cabbage, but excels both in nutritive, hardy and productive 

 qualities. The seed may be sown in June, in rows 18 inches 

 apart, and the plants thinned out to 8 or 10 inches in the rows.

HERBS 



CULTURE. — The seeds should be sown in Spring, in shal- 

 low drills, 12 inches apart, and the young plants thinned out 

 or transplanted to about 4 inches. They should be harvested 



on a dry day, just before the blossom develops, dried quickly 



and bottled, or closely packed in dry boxes, with the air en-

of May in prepared beds; transplant in June, and treat in 

 the same manner as for Cabbage. Of all the Cabbage tribe, 

 this is the most tender and delicate, and would be much more 

 extensively grown than it is if its excellent qualities were 

 generally known. The varieties are all extremely hardy, and 

 are best when touched by frost.

 Washington it will stand throughout the winter without pro- 



tection. Oz. 15c; 14 lb. 35c; lb. $1.00.
