CULTURE. — // wanted for use in late fall or 

 early winter, sow one-half inch deep early in June

KALE 



Dwarf Green Curled Scotch 



Henderson's Special Selected Dwarf Stock 



ACL"] Largely grown for supplying "greens" during the fall, winter 

 and spring; also used small, like spinach; also useful in garnish- 

 ing. The plants are hardy above zero; frost improves the quality. 

 The leaves are very large, deeply curled and fringed, and of that de- 

 sirable 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. {See illustration.) Price, pkt. 

 10c.; oz. 20c.; ' < lb. 60c.; lb. $1.75; transportation paid.

Early White Short-Leaved Vienna 



473 A singular variety of Cabbage with a Turnip-like bulb which forms immediately 

 above the ground. It is extremely tender and partakes of the flavor of both 

 Turnip and Cabbage. The bulb is large enough to be eaten in from 10 to 12 weeks 

 from sowing, and as they are more tender and delicately flavored before fully ma- 

 tured, it is advisable to make successive sowings, rather than depend upon a standing 

 crop. Should be in every garden. (See illustration.) Price, pkt. 15c.; oz. 45c.; 

 l-i lb. $1.25; lb. $4.00; transportation paid. 



475 EARLY Purple Vienna Kohl-Rabi. The outside color is purple; flesh, white 

 and delicate. Price, pkt. 10c.; oz. 30c.; '< lb. 90c.; lb. $3.00; transportation 

 paid.

 tender white flesh. Price, pkt. 10c.; oz. 30c.; Vi lb. 90c.; lb. $3.00; transporta- 

 tion paid. 



CULTURE. — Sow early in April or May, in drills 18 inches 

 apart, cover the seed one-half inch deep, the plants should be 

 thinned to stand four to six inches apart in the row or for very 

 early the seed may be started in cold-frame or hotbed in February 



or March and be transplanted when large enough as deep as possible without covering the center 



leaves, that the neck may be blanched. 1 oz. will sow 100 feet of drill. 



Large American Flag 



480 The Leek is closely allied to the Onion. The entire lower 

 portion of the plant is used, which is smooth, solid, and gener- 

 ally the same thickness 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 and is largely grown 

 for fall and early winter 

 use. It is of quick, 

 strong growth, produc- 

 ing long stems of uni- 

 form shape and size, 

 averaging 2 inches 

 through by 10 inches 

 long, blanching beauti- 

 fully white, and of fine, 

 mild flavor. (See illus- 

 tration.)

 stems about 3 inches through by 6 to 8 inches long. Price, pkt. 10c. ;
