BRASSICA OLERACEA FIMBRIATA. 



Fr. Chou Vert. — Ger Grune Kohl. 



" Borecole," " Kale," or " Green Kale," are general terms applied to that 

 class of Cabbage which does not head, but is used as an esculent in its open 

 growth. When used, the crown, or center of the plant is cut off, so as to 

 include the leaves, which usually do not exceed nine inches in length. It boils 

 well, and is most sweet, tender and delicate, provided 

 it has been duly exposed to frosts. Sow in seed-bed, 

 about the middle of Spring, and when of suitable size, 

 transplant to eighteen or twenty inches apart each

Sea (Chou Marin.) — This is a very fine vege-

 the Asparagus, and the following winter it will begin 

 to produce a crop.

 rise about two feet, and produce an abundance of dark 

 green, curled and wrinkled leaves. It stands the win- 

 ters South, and in the Middle States, without any 

 protection. 



German Dwarf Green. — Makes excellent 

 It is dwarf, and easily protected in the winter, by plant- 

 ing in the cellar ; in the Southern States, it needs no protection, and will grow 

 vigorously all winter if sown in the autumn. 



German Dwarf Purple. — A variety of the preceding, and identical 

 with it, except in color, which is a beautiful, deep purple.
