Dwarf ciziz» Scotch Kale 
467. Largely grown for supplying ‘greens’’ during the fall, winter — 
and spring; also used small, like spinach; also useful in garnishing. The © 
plants are hardy above zero; frost improves the quality. The leaves | 
are very large, deeply curled and fringed, and of that desirable rich | 
bright green color; the plants are of very dwarf, even growth, the leaves 
hugging the eround! so that they are not broken off by heavy, wet snow, 
as often happens with taller types. 
Kale should be sown during June and transplanted later fOr use during 
fall, winter or-early spring. The flavor is best after being exposed to 
frost.- For this reason the crop from summer sown seed is preferable, 
although it is often used in summer. (See engraving.)

“The Scotch Kale seed I purchased from you produced the largest plants we ever 
saw, some were as large as a washtub. 
The lettuce seed sown m the house in April and transplanted to the gander in May, 
gave heads like Cabbage.” 
Mrs. ‘Grace Coutremont, 
Copenhagen, Wa ¥e 
“Vou have mis-named your ‘dwarf’ green Scotch = Kale, for we had one for dinner 
to-day that weighed seven pounds and nine ounces. I have grown Kale for forty 
years, but never had so good a variety before.” :

EARLY SHORT-LEAVED 
White Vienna 
Kohl-Rabi 
473. A singular variety of Cabbage 
with a Turnip-like bulb which 
forms immediately above the 
ground. It is extremely tend- 
er and partakes of the flavor 
of both Turnips and Cabbage. 
The bulb is large enough to 
beeaten in from 10 to 12 weeks 
from sowing, and as they are 
more tender and delicately 
flavored before fully matured, 
“it is advisable to make suc- 
cessive sowings, rather than 
depend upon a standing crop.

- wonderful success with your seeds.

Large American 
Flag Leek 
480. The Leek is closely allied to 
the Onion. The entire lower portion 
of the plant is used, which is smooth, 
solid, and generally the same thick- 
ness throughout. It is boiled whole, 
or used in soups; the young plants 
make excellent ‘“‘Scallions.””’ The 
flavor is mild, and preferred by 
many for this reason. American 
Flag is the best variety for 
general use. We offer a very 
superior stock of this popular 
variety, so largely grown for 
fall and early winter use. It is 
of quick, strong growth, produc- 
ing long stems of uniform shape and 
size, averaging 2 inches through by 
10 inches long. blanching beautifully 
white and of fine, mild flavor. It 
makes attractive and saleable bunches.

variety for winter and 
spring use, being very

growth than American

stocky stems about 3 in- 
ches through by 6 to 8 in- 
cheslong. The leaves are 
broad and flat, and little 
injured by snow; they re- 
eover their fresh, green 
color quickly in spring.
