 used for garnishing; if boiled makes 

 fine "greens." Successive sowings

 i lb., $1.50 lb. 



KALE m BORECOLE. 



ARGELY grown for supplying "greens" during the fall, 

 *■' winter and spring; also used for garnishing. The plants 

 are hardy above zero; frost improves the quality. May also ba 

 used when quite young as Spinach. 



Dwarf Green Curled Scotch. We offer a very fine stock 

 of this favorite sort. 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. (See 

 cut.) Price, 10c. oz., 20c. J lb., 50c. lb. 



" Your Dwarf Scotch Kale is as fine to-day as in the fall, and has been out al' 

 winter, and for one week the thermometer went 30 degrees below zero." — -

BEST MARKET GARDENER'S 

 VARIETIES. 



Large American Flag. We offer a very superior 



stock of this popular variety, so largely grown for fall and 



early winter sales. It is of quick, strong growth, producing 



long stems of uniform shape and size, averaging 2 inches 



through by 10 inches long, blanching beautifully white and of 



fine, mild flavor. It makes attractive and saleable bunches. 



(see cut.) Price, 20c. oz., 50c. J lb., $1.50 lb. 



Musselburgh, or Scotch Champion. This is the best variety for 

 winter and spring sales, being very hardy; it keeps well when 

 earthed up. It is of slower growth than American Flag, making im- 

 mense stocky stems about 3 inches through by 6 to 8 inches long. The 

 leaves are broad and flat, and little injured by snow; they recover their 

 fresh green color quickly in spring. Price, 20c. oz., 50c. J lb., $1.60 lb.
