DWARF GREEN CURLED 



Scotch Kale 



Largely grown for supplying "greens" during the fall, winter 

 and spring; also used small, like spinach; also useful in 

 garnishing. The plants are hardy above zero; frost im- 

 proves the quality. The leaves are very large, deeply 

 curled and fringed, and of that desirable rich bright green 

 color; the plants are of very dwarf, even growth, the 

 leaves hugging the ground, so that they are not broken 

 off by heavy, wet snow, as often happens with taller types. 



Kale should be sown during June and transplanted 

 later for use during fall, winter or early spring. The 

 flavor is best after being exposed to frost. For this 

 reason the crop from summer sown seed is preferable, 

 although it is often used in summer. (See engraving.) 

 Price, 5c. pkt., 35c. oz., $1.20 y± lb., $4.00 lb. 



"We had heads of Dwarf Green Curled Scotch Kale that 

 weighed 7 lbs. 9 ozs. It is the finest Kale I ever saw or tasted, 

 and I have been eating Kale for 40 years.

EARLY SHORT LEAVED 



White Vienna Kohl-Rabi 



A singular variety of Cabbage with a Turnip-like bulb 

 which forms immediately above the ground. It is extremely 

 tender and partakes of the flavor of both Turnips and Cabbage. 

 The bulb is large enough to be eaten in from 10 to 12 weeks from 

 sowing, and as they are more tender and delicately flavored before 

 fully matured, it is advisable to make successive sowings, rather than 

 depend upon a standing crop. ' Should be in every garden. Price, 

 10c. pkt., 40c. oz., $1.40 \i lb., $5.00 lb. 



Large American Flag Leek 



The Leek is closely allied to the Onion. The entire lower portion of the 

 plant is used, which is smooth, solid, and generally the same thickness through- 

 out. It is boiled whole, or used in soups; the young plants make excellent 

 "Scallions." The flavor is mild, and preferred by many for .this reason. 

 American Flag is the best variety for general use. We offer a very superior 

 stock of this, popular variety, so largely grown for fall and early winter use. 

 It is of quick, strong growth, producing long stems of uniform shape and size, 

 averaging 2 inches through by 10 inches long, blanching beautifully white and 

 of fine, mild flavor. It makes attractive and salable bunches. (See engrav- 

 ing.) Price, 10c. pkt., 25c. oz., 75c. % lb., $2.50 lb. 



Musselburgh SffiSS? Leek 



This is the best variety for winter and spring use, being 

 very hardy; it keeps well when earthed up. It is of slower 

 growth than American Flag, making immense, stocky stems 

 about 3 inches through by 6 to 8 inches long. The leaves 

 are broad and flat, and little injured by snow; they recover 

 their fresh, green color quickly in spring. Price, 10c. pkt., 

 25c. oz., 75c. Vi lb., $2.50 lb.
