HINTS ON CULTIVATION. 
Description. — A useful vegetable of great hardiness. Grown for its leaves and sprouts. 
Varieties.— The “Welsh” Dwarf and Tall, “Curled," and “Cottager’s” are the varieties in general 
cultivation. 
Sowing Season.— The seed is sown in March for early winter use, and again in April for succession 
and late use. 
How TO Sow. — Sow thinly in rows in prepared beds. 
General Culture and Transplanting.— Set out in June and July between potatoes, or in a breadth 
of ground set apart for the crop. Allow the dwarf varieties from 18 lo 24 inches, and the taller from 24 to 30 
inches between each plant. 
Use —The Scotch Kales art largely used in the making of broth. The Asparagus Kale is a delicious 
vegetable, the spear-like growths being cooked like Asparagus. Most of the other varieties furnish greens by 
gathering the leaves, and finally the head of the plant. They are considered to eat better after they have had 
two or three frosts on them.
