Dwarf Green Curled Scotch 



Henderson's Special Selected Dwarf Stock 



407. 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 ground, 

 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.
