The Cultivation of Kale. — Sow the seed early in the spring, covering the seeds thinly and evenly. Transplant in June 
and cultivate the same as cabbage, leaving a space of 2 feet between the plants. For an early spring crop plant seed in 
September and protect with straw during winter. One ounce of seed will produce five thousand plants.

The Cultivation of Broccoli. — This vegetable resembles cauliflower, and is much hardier. The seed should be planted 
in hotbeds during March and April for an early crop. Transplant during May or June in rows 3 to 4 feet apart and the 
plants about 2 feet apart in the row. For a late crop sow in June in hills or beds, covering seed to the depth of Yi inch. 
A good, deep, well-manured soil is required for success. One ounce of seed will produce about two thousand plants.
