Florence Fennel 
Florence Fennel 
(FINOCCHIO) 
Florence Fennel. This delicious Italian 
vegetable has grown very much in favor 
in recent years. The leaf bases form 
the portion which is so highly prized, 
being sometimes boiled and occasion¬ 
ally cut up and used in a raw state for 
salad purposes. Pkt. 10c; oz. 50c. 
KALE or BORECOLE 
One ounce of seed will sow 150 feet of drill 
The Kales are much the hardiest of the 
Brassica family, and will sometimes with¬ 
stand the rigors of a New England Winter. 
Fine for Winter greens. 
DWARF GREEN CURLED SCOTCH. 
Leaves bright green, closely curled, very 
tender. Quality is improved if the 
plants are touched by frost before being 
used. Pkt. 10c; oz. 25c; WIb. 60c, 
lb. $2.00. 
Siberian or Winter. Pkt. 10c; oz. 25c; 
KIb. 75c; lb. $2.00. 
Tall Green Curled Scotch. Similar to the 
dwarf, but more vigorous. Pkt. 10c; 
oz. 25c; KIb. 75c; lb. $2.00. 
KOHLRABI 
One ounce of seed will sow 150 feet of drill 
Often referred to as the “Turnip Rooted 
Cabbage.” The flavor resembles that of 
turnips but is rather more delicate. The 
roots must be used while small and when a 
knife or needle will easily puncture them. 
Spring and Autumn sowings yield much the 
best roots. 
Early White Vienna. A very early variety. 
Tops small; outer color greenish white. 
Flesh quite free from fiber and of excel¬ 
lent quality. Pkt. 10c; oz. 50c; J^Ib. 
$1.50. 
Early Purple Vienna. Very early. Tops 
small; outer color purple. Flesh quite 
free from fiber. Pkt. 10c; oz. 35c; 
KIb. $1.25. 
LEEK 
HERBS 
One ounce of seed produces about 1000 plants 
Leeks are deserving of much wider culti¬ 
vation than they are given in this country. 
They are far more delicate than onions, are 
easily grown, and you can have them fresh 
from the garden all winter if the ground is 
heavjly mulched to prevent them from 
freezing in. 
LARGE AMERICAN FLAG. Hardy, 
vigorous, and an excellent Winter sort. 
Bulbs long and very uniform. Pkt. 10c; 
oz. 35c; MIb. $1.00. 
Large Rouen or Winter. Hardy, producing 
long bulbs terminating in a rounded 
base. Remains a long time in good con¬ 
dition. Pkt. 10c; oz. 35c; J^Ib. $1.00. 
Musselburgh or Carentan. The famous 
Scotch sort. Large, hardy, and distinct.

JOSEPH BRECK & SONS 
Sweet, Pot, Medicinal 
There is a rapidly increasing interest in 
all of the sweet-smelling herbs in America 
today, and Herb-gardens are becoming quite 
popular. As the great majority of these 
plants are of very easy culture, there would 
seem to be no valid reason for their not being 
grown in a greater number of even very 
small gardens. We recommend to all Herb- 
growers that they get the book “Culinary 
Herbs” by M. G. Kains, as culture varies 
considerably with different varieties.
