Garlic 



A bulbous rooted plant, with a strong, pen- 

 etrating odor, but much esteemed by some 

 for flavoring soups, stews, etc. We frequently 

 receive orders for garlic seed, but we can 

 supply bulbs only. Prepare the ground the same as for onions, 

 and plant the bulbs in drills eight inches apart, and four inches 

 apart in the rows, and cover two inches deep. When the leaves 

 turn yellow, take up the bulbs and dry in the shade, and lay them 

 up in a dry loft as you would onions. Bulbs, % Lb. 16c; Lb. 40c. 



Horse Radish produces no 

 seed, but is grown from pieces 

 of the roots. Culture— Mark 

 off rows two and one-half 

 feet apart in rich, moist, well prepared ground, and set the pieces 

 of roots eighteen inches apart in the rows, vertically, the small 

 end down, and the top one to three inches below the surface. Cul- 

 tivate thoroughly until the tops cover the ground, when their shade 

 will keep down the weeds. 



Small Roots -3 for 10c; 25c per dozen, postpaid. By freight or 

 express, at purchaser's expense, 75c per 100.

Kale, Dwarf Curled Scotch, or German Greens. 



Half Dwarf Moss Curled Kale. 



.KALE. 



Borecole, Kale and German Greens are 

 general terms applied to those classes of 

 cabbages that do not form heads, but 

 are used in their open growth. Some of 

 the varieties are the most tender and 

 delicate of any of the cabbage tribe. 

 They are hardy and are not injured by 

 the frost. 



Culture — As far north as New York 

 they may be sown in September and 

 treated like spinage, or they may be 

 planted and treated like late cabbage 

 and will continue growing until very late 

 in the season. In the south they will 

 live and grow throughout the winter 

 without protection. It is better not to 

 cut or handle them when fi'ozen, 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 ex- 

 cellent greens. 



Tall Green Curled Scotch Kale. 



HALF DWARF MOSS CURLED. A variety intermediate 

 between the tall and dwarf, having much of the hardiness of 

 the tall and the beauty of the dwarf sorts.

SIBERIAN. Sometimes called "Sprouts" and "German 

 Greens." In this variety the very large, green leaves are com- 

 paratively plain in the center, but coarsely cut and frilled on 

 the edge. The plant is low but spreading and very hardy.

 Scotch, but of a rich purple color.

TALL GREEN CURLED SCOTCH. This is very hardy and is 

 not injured by a moderate frost. About thirty inches tall, with 

 an abundance of dark green leaves, which are densely curled 

 and cut, forming a very beautiful plant. It stands the winters 

 in the Middle States without any protection.

DWARF CURLED SCOTCH, OR GERMAN GREENS, 

 Plant low and compact, but with large leaves curled, cut and 

 crimped until the whole plant resembles a bunch of moss. It 

 would be well worthy of cultivation simply for its beauty. 

 One of the best sorts for use, and when well grown and cooked 

 is one of the most palatable of vegetables.

Kohl Rabi 



The Kohl Rabi is a vegetable intermediate between the cabbage and 

 turnip, and combines the flavor of each. The edible part is a turnip 

 shaped bulb formed by the enlargement of the stem. When used for 

 the table this should be cut when quite small, as it is then very tender 

 and delicate, but if allowed to reach its full size it becomes tough and 

 stringy. 



Culture— Sow in light, rich, soil, as early as possible, in drills sixteen 

 inches apart, and when well established, thin to six inches apart in the 

 row. One or two plantings at intervals of ten days will give a succes- 

 sion until hot weather, when they fail to grow well; but plantings may 

 be made the latter part of July for fall use. 



EARLY WHITE VIENNA. Very early; small, handsome, white 

 bulb. Best early variety for table.
