Borecole, Kale and German Greens are 

 general terms applied to those classes of 

 cabbages that do not form heads, but are 

 used iu their open growth. Some of the 

 varieties are the most tender and delicate 

 ■of any of the cabbage tribe. They are hardy, and are not injured by the frost. 



CULTURE— As far north as New York they may be sown in September, and 

 treated like spiuage, or they may be planted and treated like late cabbage, and will 

 oontiuue growing until very late in the season. In the south they will live and grow 

 throughout the winter without protection. It is better not to cut or handle them 

 when frozen, but if this is unavoidable, thaw them out in cold water. The young 

 shoots which start up in the spring from the old stumps are very tender, and make 

 ■excellent greens. 



TALL GREEN CURLED SCOTCH -This is very hardy, and is not injured by a mod- 

 erate frost. About thirty inches tall, with an abundance of dark green leaves, 

 which are densely curled and cut, forming a very beautiful plant. It stands the 

 winters in the Middle States without any protection. Pkt. 5c; Oz. 10c; 2 Oz. 15c;

 DWARF CURLED SCOTCH, OR GERMAN GREENS-Plant low and compact, but 

 with large leaves ciu-led, cut and crimped until the whole plant resembles a bunch 

 of moss. It would be well worthy of cultivation simply for its beauty. One of the 

 best sorts for use, and when well grown and cooked, is one of the most palatable 

 ^ of vegetables. Pkt. oc; Oz. 10c; 2 Oz. 15c; ^ Lb. 25c; Lb. 90c.

KOIiL> RADI 



The Kohl Rabi is a vegetable Intermediate between the cabbage and 



-<- :_^ _( turnip, and combines the flavor of each. The edible part is a tupuip- 



^^\V~^J) shaped bulb formed by the enlargement of the stem. When used fm* the 

 N^ — ' table, this should be cut when quite small, as it is then very tender and 

 delicate, but if allowed to reach its full size, it becomes tough and stringy. 

 Culture— Sow in light, rich soil, as early as possible, in drills sixteen 

 inches apart, and when well established, thin to six inches apart in the 

 row. One or two plantings at intervals of ten days will give a succession 

 until hot weather, when they fail to grow well; but plantings may be made the lat- 

 ter part of July for fall use.

Belongs to the onion family. Sow the seed and care for the 

 young plants as for onions, but they need more room in order to 

 develop fully. When the young plant is about the size of a goose 

 •quill, transplant to a prepared bed in rows one foot apart and four 

 or five inches in the row. Set the roots deep, and draw^ the earth 

 to them when cultivating, so that they may be well blanched by 

 the time they are fit for use.
