BRUSSELS SPROUTS. 



Ger. Bosen Kohl. Fr. Chou de Bruxelles. 



This plant grows two or three feet high, and produces 

 from the sides of the stalk numerous little sprouts, one 

 or two inches in diameter, resembling Cabbages. The 

 leaves should be broken down in the fall, to give the 

 little Cabbages room to grow. They are very tender 

 and sweet after early frost. The small heads are boiled 

 &wd served in the manner of Cabbages. Sow in seed- 

 bed in May, transplant and cultivate like the Cabbage. 

 IMPROVED DWARF. One of the best and leading 



rarieties. Per pkt., 4 cts., oz., 15 cts. 



MAMMOTH MANGEL. WURZEL. 



COENiNG, lowA, March 22, 1889. 

 I have bought seeds of you fully fifteen years. I have 

 no fault to find in all that time wich you, and always 

 recommended you to friends, as you had proof, by my 

 sending you new customers. You give larger packets 

 than most Seedsmen, and gi\e so many extras besides. 



MKS. MS M. L. Al3l31!iX. 



CisNE, III. March 1, 1889. 

 I must say that your seeds are always number one. 

 I have planted them for twelve years, and get twice the 

 amount of seeds that I get from other houses for the 

 same money. I have the best garden in the neighbor- 

 hood. MARY A. ASA. 



GOLDEN TANKABD MANGEL. 



BORECOLE, or Kale. 



Ger. Blatter-Kohl. Fr. Chou Vert. 

 The Kales are excellent as greens for Winter and 

 Spring use. The crown or centre of the head cut off 

 so as to include the leaves Is the eatable part. They are 

 more hardy than cabbage, and are improved by frost, 

 but the time and manner of sowing, and the culture are 

 identical with cabbage. 



GREEN CURLED SCOTCH. The kind most gen- 

 eraUy cultivated. It is very hardy, ?nd Uke the 

 Savoys, is improved by a moderate frost. The stems 

 rise about oi^e foot, producing abundance of dark 

 green curled and tinkled leaves. Per pkt., i cts., 



Dwk'^F^GSR^MrN^^GREk'NS, pR SPROUTS.

 nrotection is given from the severity of the weather.

 the open beds. Per pkt., 4 cts., oz., 10 cts., Y4. It-, ^

 Cole's Garden Plow proved satisfactory, and your 



Samoth, III., May 17, 1888. 



All the seeds I have bought of you, have given me 

 good satisfaction. I hke them as well, or better than 

 seeds from any other seedmen, although I have bought 

 of more than twenty difEerent seedsmen since I began 

 buying seeds. A. B. AGNEW, M. D. 



Amasa, Pa., March 27, 1887. 



I have used your seeds for years, and found them as 

 represented in every instance. I heartily recommend 

 them to all my friends. MES. JANE WOETH.
