Gurney Seeds Assure Bumper Crops 
BORECOLE OR KALE 
Dwarf Green Curled Kale 
Sow the seed from early spring until the middle 
oT August. The early sowings give fully grown 
plants, w'hereas the later sowings will furnish 
excellent small tender leaves. The flavor of the 
plants improves after they have been touched by 
frost. One ounce sows 500 feet of drill. 
Dwarf Green Curled Kale—Hardier than 
Cabbage. Leaves curly as Parsley, tender and 
very tine flavor. Immense quantities produced 
in South find ready sales in the North. Fine 
strain. Pkt., 5c; oz.. 10c; !4 lb., 25c; lb., 65c. 
Tall Kale — One of the very best plants for 
greens, well known and much planted by German- 
Americans, but little used by others. It is much 
hardier than cabbage and a good frost improves 
its quality. The leaves are very curly. Pkt., 5c; 
oz., 10c; Yu lb., 25c; lb., 65c. 
Brussels Sprouts 
Cultivated for the small heads that grow in 
corisiderable number on the main stem. It is a 
delicacy much esteemed by some. Sow in seed 
bed middle of spring and transplant and manage 
as Winter Cabbage. Pkt., 7c; oz., 20c; J4 lb., 
45c; lb., $1.45. 
Broccoli 
Winter Cauliflower 
St. 'Valentine—This is the standard variety 
of Broccoli grown extensively in the Northwest 
for shipping to the eastern markets when the 
home-grown Cauliflower is exhausted. St. 
Valentine is a large-headed variety of good 
appearance and excellent quality. Pkt., 8c; Y 2 
oz., 20c; 1 oz., 35c; !4 lb., $1.15. 
Sprouting Broccoli 
Calabrese—Italian Green 
We have a very remarkable strain of this choice 
Italian vegetable which has only recently become 
a favorite in American markets. Plants do not 
make solid heads but produce an abundance of 
light green, tender sprouts with loose flower- 
heads at the end. It is cooked like Spinach or 
Brussels Sprouts. Sow in May, harvest in 
August. Very delicious and tasty. Pkt., 7c; 
Y 2 oz., 15c; 1 oz., 25c; Yt lb., 90c.
