KALE OR BORECOLE 
This is extensively grown, especially in the south during 
the fall, winter and spring. The leaves are used principally 
for greens. A favorite way is to cook them with bacon. The 
leaves are also used for garnishing. 
Where climate permits seed may be sown anytime from 
August to October, broadcast or preferably in drills eighteen 
inches apart so that the plants when small may be cultivated 
The quality is improved rather than injured by frosts if not 
too heavy. Farther north sow in April or May in rich light 
soil in rows two to three feet apart and where plants of the 
largest size are desired thin to two feet apart in row. It is 
better not to cut or handle the plants while 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 excellent greens.
