Dwarf Curled Green Kale Early White Vienna Kohl Rabi 
Kale or Borecole Kohl Rabi 
Fennel 
Fennel or Finocchio 
This is quite distinct from the common sweet 
fennel used for flavoring. This variety produces 
a large bulb at the surface of the ground which 
makes an excellent vegetable with a peculiar but 
pleasing flavor. It is very largely used in Italy 
and by Italians in this country. 
11 is grown by sowing the seed in rows 20 inches 
to 2 feet apart and thinning or transplanting so 
the plants stand ft to 10 inches apart in the rows. 
Sow the seed in rich soil in May or June, and 
again a month later for fall use. When the plants 
are half grown drag up earth to them so as to 
blanch the bulbs. 
MAMMOTH. Round Buib (New). This 
new strain produces extra large round firm 
bulbs, and for this reason is superior to other 
strains.

Florence Fennel. The seed we offer is the true 
“Florence” of the best Italian Strain, and is 
very fine.

Garlic 
Knoblauch (Ger.) Aglio (It.) 
Used for flavoring. The bulhs are set out like 
onion sets about 4 inches apart in the row, 
divided into “cloves” or flakes and covered 2 
inches deep. When the tops die down take up 
the bulbs and dry in a shady place. Bulbs only.

“Garden Huckleberry” 
This is not a true Huckleberry, but it belongs 
to the Solanums to which family also belong the 
tomato, pepper and egg plant. The fruit is deep 
purple, nearly black, round and only a little 
smaller than a Concord grape. They are not good 
to eat raw but when cooked wilh a little sugar 
and lemon or other flavoring it is considered by 
many people very good for making pies and pre¬ 
serves. 
The plants grow three feet high and are cov¬ 
ered on every branch with clusters of fruit, so a 
very few plants will produce an immense quan¬ 
tity of berries. The fruit ripens in September but 
it is considered of finer quality when left on the 
plants until the leaves are killed by frost. The 
fruit will remain on the plant two months after 
they are ripe. Culture is the same as for tomatoes.

Blatterkohl (Ger.) Cavolo verdi (It.) 
Kale is used as “greens” during the winter, 
and is a most welcome dish when other vege¬ 
tables are gone. The young and tender shoots 
that come out on the stalks are delicate and de¬ 
licious when cooked. They are better after a 
few frosts in the fall. With a little protection, 
or when the snow is deep, kale will stand the 
winter without injury. It is grown in the same 
way as cabbage but for winter use the seed may 
be sown as late as July. 
DWARF CURLED GREEN or Blue Scotch. 
This low growing, spreading variety is the 
kind most commonly grown. The leaves are 
large, finely curled, of a deep bluish-green 
color and of excellent quality. Often used for 
garnishing. 
Pkt. 10c; Oz. 15c; Vi Lb. 45c; Lb. $1.40. 
Tall Green, Scotch Curled. The plant grows 
three feet tall and produces an abundance of 
leaves which are finely curled and of the finest 
quality, the whole length of the tall stem.

SIBERIAN. Also called “Sprouts.” A very 
hardy kale of dwarf growth with broad thick 
leaves curled on the edges. The color is light 
bluish-green. Our strain is uniform and true 
to type. 
Pkt. 10c; Oz. 15c; Vi Lb. 35c; Lb. $1.10. 
Horse Radish 
Meer Rettig (Ger.) Rafano (It.) 
Horse Radish is easily grown from sets—small 
lengths of roots. These sets, if planted in the 
spring in good rich soil, will form large roots by 
fall. The set should be planted with the small 
end down and the upper portion 2 inches below 
the surface in rows 3 feet apart and 15 to 20 
inches apart in the rows. 
New Bohemian Horse Radish. A variety con¬ 
sidered to be superior to the common kind. 
Sets: 25c per Doz.; $1.50 per 100 Transpor¬ 
tation paid. Not paid: $7.75 per 1000 (weight 
40 lbs.) 
Knollkohl (Ger.) Cavolo rapa (It.) 
A packet will sow 40 feet of row ; an ounce 200 feet. 
Kohl Rabi produces a large bulb on the stem 
which is used as a vegetable and also for stock 
feeding. If used while young, the bulb when 
properly cooked makes a delicious vegetable. 
An excellent way to cook is to cut the bulbs into 
small cubes and boil until tender. Serve with a 
butter or cream sauce. 
The seed should be sown in June or July in 
rows about 2 feet apart, and the plants thinned 
6 to 8 inches apart in the rows. 
Early White Vienna. The best variety for the 
table. When the bulbs are the size of an apple 
they are ready for use, and are of excellent 
quality, being tender and of delicate flavor. 
Pkt. 10c; Oz. 25c; Vi Lb. 60c; Lb. $1.90. 
Early Purple Vienna. The same as White 
Vienna except in color which is light purple 
on the outside. 
Pkt. 10c; Oz. 25c; y 4 Lb. 60c; Lb. $1.90. 
Leek 
Poree (Ger.) Porro (It.) 
Leek is a kind of onion that does not form any 
bulb, but grows in a long stem, which is blanched 
by drawing earth around it. When blanched in 
this way it makes an appetizing salad, or is eaten 
like green onions. When boiled they are more 
delicate in flavor than the mildest onions. Seed 
is sown in the spring and the leek is ready to use 
in the fall. If given a little protection with dirt 
it will last over winter and give a very welcome 
addition to the late spring menu. 
ELEPHANT (New). This new variety is a great 
improvement over the old kinds. The stalks are 
pearly white, large and thick. The white parts 
extend farther up the stalk than any kind we 
know. This variety is of excellent quality be¬ 
ing tender and mild. 
Pkt. 10c; Oz. 30c; Vi Lb. 90c; Lb. $3.00. 
Large American Flag. This is the most 
popular variety; grows to a good size, is 
straight and uniform, and of fine quality. 
Pkt. 10c; Oz. 25c; *4 Lb. 70c; Lb. $2.25.
