Borecole, Kale and German Greens are general 

 terms applied to certain cabbage-like plants which 

 do not form heads, but are used iu their open 

 growth. Some of the varieties are the most ten- 

 der and delicate of any of the cabbage tribe. They are hardy and are not iniured 

 by the frost. 



Culture— As far north as New York they may be sown in September and treated 

 like spmage, or they may be planted and treated like late cabbage and will continue 

 growing until very late in the season. In the south they will live and grow through- 

 out the winter without protection. It is better not to cut or handle them when frozen, 

 but if this is unavoidable, thaw them out in cold water. The young shoots which start 

 up in the spring from the old stumps are very tender and make excellent greens. 

 TALL GREEN CURLED SCOTCH. This is very hardy and is not injured by a 

 moderate frost. About thirty inches tall, with an abundance of dark green leaves 

 which are densely curled and cut, forming a very beautiful plant. It stands the 

 winters m the Middle States without any protection. Pkt. 5c: Oz. 10c; 2 Oz. 15c;

 Kohl Rabl 



The Kohl Rabi is a vegeta- 

 ble intermediate between 

 the cabbage and turnip, 

 and combines the flavor of 

 each. The edible part is a turnip-shaped bulb formed by the enlarge- 

 ment of the stem. When used for the table this should be cut when 

 quite small, as it is then very tender and delicate, but if allowed to reach 

 its full size it becomes tough and stringy. 



Culture — Sow in light, rich soil as early as possible, in drills sixteen 

 inches apart, and when well established thin to six inches apart in the 

 row. One or two plantings at intervals of ten days will give a succession 

 until hot weather, when they fail to grow well ; plant- 

 ings may be made the latter part of July for fall use.

Belongs to the onion family. Sow the seed 

 and care for the young plants as for onions, 

 but they need more room iu order to develop 

 fully. When the young plant is about the 

 size of a goose quill, transplant to a prepared bed iu rows one 

 foot apart and four or five inches in the row. Set the roots deep and 

 draw the earth to them when cultivating, so that they may be weU 

 .blanched by the time they are fit for use.
