 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

 Standing and in every way more beautiful. It resembles the Norfolk Kale, but does not need to be transplanted or

Mushroom Spawn 



Jxtia Large Leek 



CULTURE, Mushrooms may be grown in oeUars, under benches of greenhouses, or in slieds, wlierever the temperature of 50 degrees 

 can be kept up through the winter. The beds should be made from November .to February, according to the time the Mushrooms are 

 wanted; and it requires about two months for them to begin bearini:. Secure fresh horse manure, free from straw and litter, and mix 

 an equal bulk of loam from an old pasture with it, Keep this under coyer, taking care to turn it every day to prevent heating, until 

 the pile is large enough to make a bed the required size. Three or 4 feet wide, 8 inches deep, and any length desired are the proper 

 proportions for a bed. hut these may be varied. Prepare the mixture of loam and manure, making the bed in layers, and pounding 

 down each with the back ot the spade. Leave this to heat through for a few days, and as soon as the heat subsides to 90 degrees, 

 make holes In the lied .Tbout a foot apart each way, into which put pieces of the spawn 2 or .3 Inches in diameter; fill up the holes 

 with the compost, and at the expiration of a week or ten days the siawn will have thoroughly diffused itself through the bed. Spread 

 a layer of fresh soil over tlie heap to the depth of 2 Inches and cover witli 3 or 4 inches of hay, straw or Utter. Examine the bed 

 often to see that it does not get dry. Take special care, however, when water is given, that it be at a temperature of about 100 degrees.
