THOUSAND¬ 
HEADED KALE 
Is a variety of cabbage that 
produces enormously. The plant 
attains a height of 3 to 4 feet; 
the stem is covered with leaves. 
Animals, especially sheep, eat it 
greedily. It grows well on any 
land and is very hardy. As we 
predicted it is now more popular 
than the widely used Dwarf 
Essex Rape. 
The seed may be either drilled 
or broadcasted. Drilled is the 
better. If drilled, plant rows 26 
to 30 inches apart as plants 
should be thinned out so as to 
stand 16 to 18 inches apart in 
the rows. In drilling use % to 
one pound of seed to the acre ; in 
broadcasting, 1 y 2 lbs.

CHICKEN LETTUCE 
48 days. 
Here is a genuine lettuce which 
will yield as much or more 
chicken or rabbit feed as any 
“greens” plant. When cut it 
starts at once to grow again. 
The leaves can be pulled off stem 
like a kale. It sends up a stout 
stalk three or four feet high, 
loaded with leaves.

The edible part is 
the turnip-shaped 
bulb formed above 
ground. It is tender 
and excellent when 
used before fully 
grown, combining 
somewhat the fla¬ 
vors of cabbage and 
turnip. 
Seed should be 
sown in light, rich 
soil as early in Spring 
as possible in rows 
oneand one-half feet 
apart and when well 
established thin to 
six inches apart in 
the row. Plantings 
at intervals of ten 
days will give a suc¬ 
cession until hot 
weather, when they 
fail to grow well. 
Plantings may be 
made the latter part 
of July for Fall use. 
Early White Vienna—This variety is extremely early, 
with distinctly small tops. The bulbs are of medium size, 
very light green or nearly white, and are of best quality 
for the table if used when about two inches in diameter. 
Per pkt. 5c; oz. 25c; ^ lb. 75c; lb. $3.00 
Early Purple Vienna—Same as above except in color, 
which is purple. Per pkt. 5c; oz. 25c; Vi lb. 75c 
LEEK 
This belongs to the onion family and is a good fall 
and winter substitute for green onions. The leaves 
are flat, and the stems are very large, cylindrical and 
bulbous. Sow early in spring in drills twelve to fifteen 
inches apart, covering one-half inch deep. 
Broad London, or Large American Flag—This is a 
strong-growing variety, producing large, thick stems 
of sweet flavor when properly blanched.

Cos or “Celery” Lettuce 
—Salad Romaine 
This is the Lettuce 
that is served at the 
best hotels and res¬ 
taurants under the 
name of “Romaine 
Salad.” It differs 
from ordinary lettuce 
by the shape of the 
leaves, which are 
elongated, spoon¬ 
shaped and very 
crisp. It is grown in 
the same manner as 
Cabbage Lettuce, but 
does not make a solid 
head. The seed should 
be sown early in the 
spring, in good soil, 
and when plants have 
three leaves thin out 
to stand about 4 
inches apart in the 
row, and when plants 
are of a sufficient size 
the leaves should be drawn together and tied, in 
order to blanch the inner ones. 
EARLY WHITE SELF-FOLDING 
This excellent variety, also called Trianon, forms 
a large light green plant with a well-folded head of 
very good quality. The midribs are white and very 
prominent. The inner leaves are nearly white, slightly 
tinged with green, and are decidedly firm and sweet. 
This is considered the most reliable of the Cos or 
celery lettuces for the home garden or market gar¬ 
deners’ use in this country.

ECLIPSE, OR EXPRESS

very closely folded together.
