CULTURE.—1 ounce of either Green Curled or Plain Kale or 2 ounces of Scotch are sufficient for 100 feet of drill. For 
an acre, 1% pounds of either Green Curled or Plain, and from 3 to 7 pounds of the Scotch. Scotch Kale being particularly 
subject to the attacks of insects, both before and after coming up, it is necessary to sow it very thickly. Scotch Kale should 
be sown from the first to the last of August, and the Green Curled from the middle of August until the first of October. 
Plain Kale is sown nearly all the year round, either in drills or broadcast, and should be sown at intervals of 10 days in 
order to always have it tender. Sow Vz inch deep in rows 2^2 feet apart, allowing from 6 to 10 inches between the plants, 
and cultivate as cabbage. Kale, being a very strong feeder, 
heavy manuring is necessary to make a good crop, and when¬ 
ever the leaves show a tendency to turn yellow a top-dressing 
of guano should be given at once. 
Dwarf Blue Curled Scotch Kale. 
Tait^s Thoroughbred Dwarf Blue Curled 
Scotch leaves of this handsome dwarf Kale (some- 
_.* times known as Jamaica or Bloomsdale) are of 
a dark, bluish-green color, which is very much more attrac¬ 
tive than the bright green of the Dwarf Green Scotch, The 
leaves are intricately and most beautifully curled, stand for a 
longer time in the spring before turning yellow, and command 
a higher price in all markets. Those who sow Scotch Kale 
largely should use this sort instead of the Green Curled 
Scotch. Pkt. 10 cts., oz. 15 cts., ^ lb. 30 cts., lb. $1.10.

with this most useful of salads, sometimes called Norfolk 
Kale, Spring Sprouts and Hanover, have a pleasant surprise 
in store, for it has come into universal cultivation in the 
South. While young it is very sweet and far more tender 
than any kind of kale, and the growth is so rapid that leaves 
may be cut in three weeks from seeding. Although usually 
sown in the spring, it may be sown in the fall as it endures 
cold perfectly. Oz. 5 cts., ^4 lb. 10 cts., lb. 30 cts. Postpaid.

ish-green color and beautifully curled. Pkt. 5 cts., oz.

Long Seasons, '’1‘e‘laU Calatf " 
Tait’s Thoroughbred Favorite Curled 
Siberian when we introduced this now celebrated 
— Green Curled Siberian Kale (sometimes 
called “Blue Kale”), it at once demonstrated its supe¬ 
riority to all strains in cultivation, and was promptly 
adopted by all the best growers. It is hardy, very pro¬ 
ductive, grows rapidly and is very slow running to seed 
in the spring. The shape and curling of the leaf give 
it the appearance of an immense feather, which retains 
its stiffness a long time after being cut. Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 
10 cts., lb. 20 cts., lb. 75 cts. Postpaid.
