KALE, OR BORECOLE 



Extensively grown, 

 especially in the 

 south during the fall, 

 winter and spring. The leaves are used principally for greens. A favorite way 

 is to cook them with bacon. Also used for garnishing. Where climate permits 

 seed may be sown any time from August to October, broadcast or preferably 

 in drills eighteen inches apart so that the plants when small may be cultivated. 

 The quality is improved rather than injured by frosts if not too heavy. Farther 

 north sow in April or May in rich light soil in rows two to three feet apart and 

 where plants of the largest size are desired thin to two feet apart in row. It is 

 better not to cut or handle the plants while 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. 



S.i A very vig- 



lDenan orous grow- 

 ing variety of spreading 

 habit, its green foliage 

 having a distinctive blu- 

 ish tinge or bloom. The 

 leaves are very large, 

 comparatively plain in 

 the center but are cut 

 and frilled at the edges. 

 Very hardy, a favorite 

 for greens and in many 

 sections is extensively 

 grown for forage. Some- 

 times called Sprouts or 

 German Greens. Pkt. 5c;

KOHL RABI 



The edible part is the turnip-shaped bulb formed above 

 ground. It is tender and excellent when used before 

 fully grown, combining somewhat the flavors of cab- 

 bage and turnip. Seed should be sown in light, rich soil as early in spring as possible 

 in rows one and one-half feet apart and when well established thin to six inches apart 

 in the row. Plantings at intervals of ten days will give a succession until hot weather, 

 when they fail to grow well. Plantings may be made the 

 latter part of July for fall use.

 firmly pressed down. Thin so as to leave two plants to a foot of 

 row and draw the earth about them when cultivating. If one de- 

 sires very white and tender leeks transplant when about six inches 

 high, setting four inches apart in trenches about two feet apart 

 and gradually earth up like celery.
