KALE or Borecole 
KALE—TALL GREEN CURLED SCOTCH 
JERSEY OR TREE— Plant grows three to four 
feet high and frequently six to eight feet. Pro¬ 
duces a great number of large green smooth leaves, 
often two arrd one-half feet long, on a straight, stiff, 
strong, comparatively slender stem. Largely used 
for chickens and stock— is highly recommended 
for chickens. Pkt. 5c; oz. 15c; 54 lb. 35c; lb. $1.00. 
Excellent greens for winter and spring use. The quality 
is improved by frost. Sow seed in June and July of the 
Tall and Dwarf Curled Scotch Kales as these will then 
mature in the fall, winter and spring, at which time they 
are at their best. These require the same cultural treat¬ 
ment as cabbage. The seed of the Jersey and Thousan-d- 
headed Kale can be sown from May to September. How¬ 
ever, by sowing in May a much longer bearing season can 
be had* as by sowing at this time they will bear from early 
summer through the fall, winter and until late spring 
the following year when they will go to seed. As these 
two varieties grow to large proportions they should be 
planted further apart than the other curled kales—three feet 
apart each way is a good distance. 
TALL GREEN CURLED SCOTCH — The variety most 
commonly used. The plant grows three or four feet high, 
bearing long, plume-like light green leaves which are deeply 
cut, also finely curled at edges. Very hardy and of ex¬ 
cellent quality. Pkt. 5c; oz. 15c; 54 lb. 35c; lb. $1.00. 
DWARF CURLED SCOTCH KALE— The plant grows 
fifteen to eighteen inches high with finely curled frilled 
leaves of a rich blue-green color. Very hardy and of ex¬ 
cellent quality. Pkt 5c; oz. 15c; 54 lb. 35c; lb. $1.00. 
THOUSAND HEADED —Often called Jersey but 
different from the Jersey in that the stem of this 
variety is unusually divided into a number of branch¬ 
es bearing large leaves. Although not so tall and 
probably not quite as hardy as the Jersey it is 
equally as productive. Crops are known to have 
gone as high as sixty tons of green feed per acre. 
An excellent food for poultry and highly recom¬ 
mended. Pkt. 5c; oz. 15c; 54 lb. 35c; lb. $1.00. 
LEEK 
This belongs to the onion family and is great¬ 
ly valued as a seasoning for soups, salads, etc. 
Sow seed in March and April; when the seedlings 
are about the size of a pencil transplant in rows 
fourteen to sixteen inches apart and six inches 
apart in the row. The neck or stems are blanched 
by drawing the earth up about them as they grow 
in size. 
AMERICAN FLAG —Fine early productive va¬ 
riety. The stems are two inches in diameter and 
easily blanched as high as ten inches from the 
root. Fine mild flavor. Pkt. 5c; oz. 20c; 54 
lb. 50c; lb. $1.50. 
MONSTROUS CARENTAN — Stem six to 
eight inches long and often three inches in di¬ 
ameter. Very mild and tender. Pkt. 5c; oz. 20c; 
54 lb. 50c; lb. $1.50. 
KOHL-RABI—EARLY WHITE VIENNA 
KOHL-RABI 
LEEK—AMERICAN FLAG 
This vegetable is a cross between a cabbage and a turnip. 
The edible portion is the turnip.-shaped bulb which forms on 
the stem above the soil. It is extremely tender and partakes 
of the flavor of both turnip and cabbage. The bulb is ready 
for use in from ten to twelve weeks after sowing and should 
be eaten when two to two and one-half inches in diameter. 
The thick outer skins should be removed before boiling. As 
they are more tender and delicately flavored before being fully 
matured, it is advisable to make successive sowings rather than 
depend upon a standing crop. Sow in rows eighteen inches 
apart, thinning when well established to six inches apart in 
the row. Sow in February and March for the main spring 
crop and August and September for the fall and winter crop. 
EARLY WHITE VIENNA —Very early variety with very 
few, small leaves, seldom over eight inches long. Bulb of 
medium size. Flesh white and tender. Pkt. 5c; oz. 20c; 54 lb. 
50c; lb. $1.50.
