ELS SPROUTS 
A vei'y estimable vegetable, far too little known to 
American gardeners. It should be grown the same as 
cabbage but is much hardier, standing the frosts, and 
furnishing a solid succulent vegetable after all others 
are gone. 
The Sprouts, which are about the size of a marble 
and very firm, fairly melt in the mouth when just 
cooked through.

of many year’s careful selection. A great favorite with market

Carters Dwarf Extra Curled Kale 
ENDIVE 
BORECOLE or KALE 
Kale is very easily grown and much hardier than any 
Cabbage, standing the winters well if protected by a little 
light litter of straw. The action of frost improves its flavor 
wonderfully, and it is particularly fine for winter and early 
spring greens. 
5605. Carters Half Tall Scotch Kale. A fitting companion to our well- 
known Dwarf Extra Curled type. The leaves are very dense and moss 
curled. Stands the cold weather. If the leaves at the top are cut 
during the early part of the winter, it will greatly encourage the 
growth of the young shoots. Pkt. 10c., oz. 30c., lb. $3.00. 
5606. Carters Mammoth Tall Scotch Kale. A very robust variety, suitable 
for large establishments where quantities of winter greenstuffs are 
needed. Pkt. 10c., oz. 30c., lb. $3.00. 
5607. Carters Dwarf Extra Curled Kale. Award of Merit R. H. S. A 
re-selected and crested form of the Early Kale. It will resist the 
most intense frost, and makes a delicious winter dish. Pkt. 10c., oz. 
30c., lb. $3.00. 
5608. Carters Drumhead Kale. A valuable winter vegetable with a solid, 
cabbage-like head. Quite delicious when cooked. Pkt. 10c., oz. 30c., 
lb. $3.00. 
One of the best salads for fall and 
winter use. Endive is not only much 
used for salads and garnishing but 
is also desirable for greens and for 
flavoi'ing soups and stews. 
Plants may be grown at any 
season of the year but are more 
generally used late in the fall. 
For early use sow about time B; 
for later supply sow in June or July 
in drills fourteen to twenty inches 
apart and when well started thin the 
plants to one foot apart. When nearly 
full grown tie the outer leaves to- 
gether over the center in order to 
blanch the heart of the plant. By 
covering fresh plants every few days 
a succession may be kept up. 
5200. Carters Model. The most beautiful and 
perfect form of Curled Endive yet intro- 
duced. It is exceedingly ornamental, of a 
distinct color, and bleaches admirably. Car- 
ters Model Endive was greatly admired in 
our Gold Medal Collection of Vegetables.
