F. W. BOLGIANO & CO., 



KALE.-Blatter=Kohl. 



1£ to 2 lbs. to the acre. 1 oz. will sow 200 feet drill. 



Culture of Kale. — Kales are more hardy than cab- 

 bage and make excellent greens for winter and spring 

 use, being improved by frost. Sow from May to June 

 and cultivate the same as cabbage. 



Extra Dwarf Green Curled Scotch or Nor- 

 folk Kale. — This is one of the best kales for spring 

 sowing in the North, and is the principal sort grown in 

 the South for Northern markets. It is hardy, and will 

 remain over winter in any place where the temperature 

 does not go below zero. The habit is very dwarf and 

 spreading, and will rarely exceed 18 inches in height. 

 The leaves are of a bright green color, beautifully curled, 

 and produced in great abundance. Packet, 5 cents ; 

 ounce, 10 cents; \ pound, 20 cents; pound, 50 cents. 



New Very Curly Long- Standing- Kale.— A 



beautiful curled and crimped sort, of strong vigorous

 tractive in appearance. It is superior to all other sorts, 

 and will stand longer without shooting to seed than any 

 other variety. Packet, 5 cents; ounce, 10 cents; \ 

 pound, 15 cents ; £ pound, 25 cents ; pound, 40 cents. 



Curled German Kale.— Hardy. Stands the 

 frost of our severest winters, grows rapidly, dwarf habit,

 in this section to supply the market. Packets, 5 cents ;

BORE COLE, or KALE. 



Spargel Kohl. 



This is a most beautiful kale. About Baltimore it is 

 sown in May, and transplanted like cabbage to stand 

 over winter. Around Norfolk it is grown largely broad- 

 cast, like the German kale, for early shipment. It is 

 most desirable, and will continue to grow in favor. 

 Packet, 5 cents ; ounce, 10 cents ; \ pound, 25 cents ; 

 pound, 75 cents. 



IMPROVED KOHL-RABI-Kobl-Rabi. 



1% pounds to the acre. 



Improved Kohl-Rabi.— Has always been a favor- 

 ite with the European gardener, and is gradually gain- 

 ing great popularity in this country. When young and 

 tender, and properly prepared for the table, it is almost 

 equal to cauliflower. Besides, it is a certain crop, re- 

 quiring no more care or cultivation than a crop of cab- 

 bage. For an early crop sow in a hot bed early in 

 spring, and treat the same as directions given for early 

 cabbage. For a fall cropjsow in June. Packets, 5 cents 

 and 10 cents ; ounce, 15 cents : £ pound, 40 cents ; |

EXTRA LARGE LEEK.-Lauch. 



1 ounce to sow a drill of 100 feet. 



Culture of Leek.— The leek is very hardy, of easy culture, and succeeds best in a light soil. Sow early in April, in drills 1 foot apart and 1 

 inch deep. When the plants are 6 to 8 inches high, transplant in a deep rich soil, in rows 12 inches apart, and t> inches in the rows, as deep as 

 possible, so that the neck may be covered and blanched; draw the earth to them as they grow. The seed may also be sown in August or Sep- 

 tember, and the young plants transplanted in the spring. 



Extra Large Leek.— It is the best. This mammoth leek is not to be compared with the old kinds. It grows 

 so much larger and very handsome. Take the extra large, as the old sorts are not worth garden room. Packets, 5 

 cents and 10 cents ; ounce, 15 cents ; i pound, 40 cents ; pound, $1.25.
