KALE, or BORECOLE. 
Chou vert Prise. Col. JlvauSIoI}!. 
Culture. — Nos. 759 to 773 are cultivated and grown exactly like Cabbage. No. 777 sow in September for 
early greens. Sow 780 early in the spring in a hotbed, and when from 1 to 2 inches high transplant into a bed or 
border that has been highly manured and deeply dug. The plants should stand 2 feet apart in rows 3 feet apart. 
The soil should be kept mellow and free from weeds. Cover with litter or leaves daring the winter. Plants 
started and grown in this way should bo fit to blanch the following spring. The seed may also be sown early, in 
the open border, and transplanted in rows (as directed al)ove), as soon as out of the seed-leaf: but they will need 
to be a year older than the hotbed plants before being fit to blanch. Sea Kale is not fit to eat until it has been 
blanched, either under large pots, or by banking up with sand. The midribs are the parts eaten. They are 
cooked like Asparagus, and usually served with drawn butter.
