Kale or Borecole 
One ounce to 100 feet; 1 pound per acre. 
CULTURE—Kale is used for greens ; a large producer. Sow in the 
spring and when sown for fall crop, usually beginning in September. Plant 
in drills 2 feet apart, thin out to 8 inches in the row and cultivate same 
as cabbage. 
TALL GREEN CURLED SCOTCH—The plant of this variety grows to 
3 or 4 feet high, bearing long plume-like, light green leaves which are deeply 
cut, also finely curied at edges. Very ornamental and so hardy that a 
moderately heavy frost improves rather than injures this quality. Pkt., 
10c; oz., 15c; % lb., 30c; lb., 75c; 3 lbs., $2.00, postpaid. 
KohLrabi 
1*4 lbs. to the acre. 
CULTURE—The edible part is the turnip-shaped bulb formed above 
ground. It is tender and excellent when used before fully grown, com¬ 
bining somewhat the flavors of cabbage and turnip. Seed should be sown 
in light, rich soil as early in spring as possible in rows one and one-haif 
feet apart and when well established thin six inches apart in the row. 
Planted in spring at intervals of ten days will give a succession until hot 
weather, when they fail to grow well. Plantings may be made the latter 
part of July for fall use.

Wonderful 
Lettuce 
Lettuce is sown here during the whole year by market gardeners. Of 
course it takes a great deal of labor to produce this vegetable during our 
hot months. The richer and better the ground the larger the head will be. 
CULTURE—The seed should be sown broadcast; when large enough, 
plant out in rows a foot apart, and from 8 to 10 inches apart in rows. 
Can also be planted broadcast. 
NEW YORK or WONDERFUL—The most prolific lettuce in cultivation. 
A very large heading Lettuce, which is desirable not only as a garden 
variety for summer use, but is much used as a fall and winter market sort, 
especially in the vicinity of Houston. The plant is very large, but com¬ 
pact and tight-heading ; the outer leaves are an attractive deep green, broad 
and frilled at the edges. The inner leaves form a large head ; very sweet 
and tender when ready for use. Pkt., 10c; oz., 20c; 2 oz., 35c; Vi lb., 45c;

BIG BOSTON—This is a fine forcing variety for cold frames during the winter 
months, as it produces heads of very large size, often 10 to 12 inches across, and 
succeeds better in cooler temperature than most forcing strains. The large heads 
are beautifully blanched and of superior quality. It heads well also in the open 
ground during cold weather of spring and fall, and is very popular in the south 
to grow for shipping North. Our seed is the choicest it is possible to produce. Pkt.,

Chicken Lettuce 
In great demand as a chicken and rabbit-feed. Roots send up new growth as 
soon as one stalk is cut. Does not head, but develops stalks 3 to 4 feet high loaded 
with leaves. If thinned to about 8 inches, it will form a large cluster of leaves 
and will rapidly run 
to seed. Little value Iceberg 
for table use, but is 
in great demand among poultry-raisers. Pkt., 10c; oz., 20c; 2 oz., 
35c; Vi lb., 40c; Vz lb., 75c; lb., $1.40, postpaid.
