GARLIC 



BULBS A pear-shaped white bulb composed of several 

 sections or "cloves." It is highly flavored and has a strong 

 penetrating odor but is highly esteemed by many for use 

 m small quantities as a dash of flavoring for soups, stews, 

 etc. To grow garlic in the home garden the bulbs should 

 be divided into separate "cloves" and these set in rows 

 10 or 12 inches apart and 4 inches apart in the rows. They 

 should be taken up in the fall and stored in a cool, dry 

 place until used. 

 Bulbs 35c per lb. 



KALE or BORECOLE 



This is a species of the cabbage family and is extensively 

 grown for greens especially in the South. Most varieties have 

 heavy, densely curled foliage of beautiful green and the dwarf 

 varieties are desirable for ornamental garden use. The culture 

 is practically the same as that of late cabbage but as the plants 

 will withstand several degrees of frost they can be allowed to 

 grow late into the fall. They are regarded by many as at their 

 best after the first heavj' frosts. 



DWARF GREEN CURLED A popular home garden sort of 

 exceptionally hardy growth. The low spreading plant bears 

 finely curled, large, parsley-like leaves much used for 

 greens and for garnishing. 

 Pkt. 10c; oz. 20c; 1/4 lb. 45c; lb. $1.25. 



JERSEY or THOUSAND HEADED A variety frequently 

 attaining a growth of 6 to 8 feet. The strong growing, 

 hardy plants have a profusion of smooth leaves. They are 

 popular for stock and poultry feeding. 

 Pkt. 10c; OZ. 20c; 1/4 lb. 45c; lb. $1.25. 



TALL GREEN CURLED SCOTCH A most desirable variety 

 very widely grown for greens. It is very ornamental and so 

 hardy that moderate frost improves rather than injures 

 its quality. The plant grows 3 feet high and bears light 

 green densely curled leaves. 

 Pkt. lOcroz. 20c; 1/4 lb. 45c; lb. $1.25. 





Kale — Dwarf Green Curled 



HORSE RADISH 



Horse radish rarely produces seed but is grown from pieces 

 of the root. For the home garden they may be set wherever a 

 few feet of space is available. Set the roots vertically, small end 

 down, and the top of the root 1 to 3 inches below the surface of 

 the ground. Cultivate thoroughly until the tops cover the 

 ground, when their shade will keep down the weeds. 



MALINER KREN, Small Roots This improved variety was 

 introduced into the United States by the Department of 

 Agriculture. It produces vigorous growing plants and 

 large, heavy roots of excellent quality. 

 Roots 5 for 20c; 10 for 35c; 25 for 75c, postpaid. 



KOHL RABI 



The edible part is the turnip-shaped bulb formed above 

 ground. It is tender and excellent when used before being fully 

 grown, combining somewhat the flavors of cabbage and turnip. 

 Seed should be sown in light, rich soil as early in spring as 

 possible in rows 1^2 feet apart and when well established thin 

 to 6 inches apart in the row. Plantings at intervals of 10 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. 



EARLY WHITE VIENNA (For Forcing) The best table sort 

 if used when the bulbs are 2 inches in diameter. It matures 

 very early and produces medium sized, light green bulbs 

 with white flesh of excellent quality. 

 Pkt. 10c; oz. 30c; 1/4 lb. 90c; lb. $3.00. 



LEEK 



Leek — Giant Musselburg 



This is a widely cultivated species of the onion family. It is 

 highly esteemed as a fall and winter substitute for green onions. 

 Also regarded by many as superior in tenderness and flavor when 

 cooked. The leaves are flat and the stems are large, cylindrical 

 and bulbous. Sow early in spring in rows 12 to 15 inches apart, 

 covering Yi inch deep. Thin the plants to 6 inches apart in the 

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

 desires very white and tender leeks, transplant when about 

 6 inches tall, setting 4 inches apart in trenches about 2 feet 

 apart and gradually earth up like celery. 



GIANT MUSSELBURG The rich flavor of this extra large 

 variety has made it most popular. It is a very hardy sort 

 with dark green fan shaped leaves. The edible stems are 

 6 to 8 inches in length and about 3 inches in diameter. 

 Pkt. 10c; oz. 25c; 1/4 lb. 75c. 



LARGE FLAG The most extensively used and highly desirable 

 variety of the strong growing type. The dependable plant 

 is very easily cultivated in the home garden. It is broad 

 leaved, with rather short but very thick stems. 

 Pkt. 10c; oz. 25c; 1/4 lb. 75c. 



MONSTROUS CARENTAN By far the largest leek in culti- 

 vation. The stems often measure 3 inches in diameter and 

 yet maintain a whiteness and a tender quality. It is aa 

 exceptionally hardy garden sort. 

 Pkt. 10c; oz. 25c; 1/4 lb. 75c.
