DWABF OREEN CURLED KALE. 
(Brassica ohracea BuLlata ijemmifcra.') Crucifer.*. 
No part is perhaps so noted for good Brussels Spirouts as Swanley. 
Seed is sown directly after the first rain in August. These are planted out in 
well-manured ground, just at the exact time when seed is generally sotvn in 
March. From these early sprouts high prices are realised, and after these 
come the spring sown, thins the season is prolonged from September up to 
March. 
CULTURE, — Sow the seed 
between thebeginning of March 
and end of April — the earlier 
the better — in drills, on a well 
prepared bed, and cover thinly 
with fine soil. When the plants 
are 2 or 3 inches high, draw out 
the strongest and transplant 
into another lied, 6 inches apart. 
In May or June they are to 
remain 2 feet apart in the rows 
and feet between the plants 
in the rows Ground should be 
jirepared early, so as to allow 
the soil to become firm.
