Garlic 
A bulbous rooted plant, with a strong, pen¬ 
etrating odor, but much esteemed by some 
for flavoring soups, stews, etc. We frequently 
receive orders for garlic seed, but we can 
supply bulbs only. Prepare the ground the same as for onions, 
and plant the bulbs in drills eight indies apart, and four inches 
apart in t he rows, and cover two inches deep. When the leaves 
turn yellow, take up the bulbs and dry in the shade, and lay them 
in a dry loft as you would onions, bulbs, Lb. 16c; Lb. 40c. 
Horse Radish produces no 
seed, but is grown from pieces 
of the roots. Culture— Mark 
of! rows two and one-half 
up 
Dorse Radish 
feet apart in rich, moist, well prepared ground, and set the pieces 
of roots eighteen inches apart in the rows, vertically, the small 
end down, and the top one to three inches below the surface. Cul¬ 
tivate thoroughly until the tops cover the ground, when their shade 
will keep down the weeds. 
Small Roots 3 for 10c; 25c per dozen, postpaid. By freight or 
express, at purchaser's expense, 76c per 100. 
Kale, Dwarf Curled Scotch, or German Greens. 
.KALE. 
Half Dwarf Moss Curled Kale. 
Borecole, Kale and German Greens are 
general terms applied to those classes of 
cabbages that do not form heads, but 
are used in their open growth. Some of 
the varieties are the most tender and 
delicate of any of the cabbage tribe. 
They are hardy and are not injured by 
the frost. 
Culture—As far north as New York 
they may be sown in September and 
treated like spinage, or they may be 
planted and treated like late cabbage 
and will continue growing until very late 
in the season. In the south they will 
live and grow throughout the winter 
without protection. It is better not to 
cut or handle them when frozen, but if 
this is unavoidable, thaw' them out in 
cold water. The young shoots which 
start up in the spring from the old 
stumps are very tender and make ex¬ 
cellent greens. Tall Green Curled Scotch Kale. 
HALF DWARF MOSS CURLED. A variety intermediate 
between the tall and dwarf, having much of the hardiness of 
the tall and the beauty of the dwarf sorts.

Kohl Rabi 
The Kohl Rabi is a vegetable intermediate between the cabbage and 
turnip, and combines the flavor of each. The edible part is a turnip 
shaped bulb formed by the enlargement of the stem. When used for 
the table this should be cut when quite small, as it is then very tender 
and delicate, but if allowed to reach its full size it becomes tough and 
stringy. 
Culture— Sow in light, rich soil, as earl}' as possible, in drills sixteen 
inches apart, and when well established, thin to six inches apart in the 
row. One or tw o plantings at intervals of ten da}\s will give a succes¬ 
sion until hot weather, wdien they fail to grow well; but plantings may 
be made the latter part of July for fall use.
