Endive—Green Curled 
ENDIVE 
Kale or Borecole 
(1 oz. will produce 4,000 plants.) 
CULTURE—In early spring sow 
the seed in rows two feet apart 
and thin out to six inches between 
the plants. For fall and winter 
use sow early in September. The 
quality is much improved by freez¬ 
ing and the plants may be gath¬ 
ered any time during the winter. 
DWARF CURLED—Of half 
dwarf, compact bushy growth; a 
vast improvement over the strag¬ 
gling tall-growing varieties. The 
leaves are large, of handsome 
light green color, curled densely. 
TALL CURLED—A valuable 
sort, which furnishes an abund¬ 
ance of "greens” equal to the best 
spinach during the fall and win¬ 
ter. Beautifully curled, crimped and of fine 
flavor. 
(1 oz. to 300 ft. of row) 
CULTURE—Sow the seed in the open 
ground when the earth is free from frost; 
for a succession, sow any time up until the 
first of August. When the plants are large 
enough thin out to ten inches apart. When 
the outside leaves have reached a length 
of about six inches, they are ready for 
blanching; select a dry day for this work; 
bring the outside leaves together over the 
top of the plant and tie them up closely to 
prevent rain from coming through. 
GREEN CURLED—A very large variety; 
leaves deep green, beautifully curled and 
of fine flavor. 
WHITE CURLED—Leaves light green 
and blanches easily to a clear waxy white, 
finely cut and curled. 
KOHL RABI 
(1 oz. will produce 3,000 plants) 
CULTURE—Kohl Rabi requires exactly 
the same treatment as Cabbage. For early 
use sow the seed thinly in hot-bed and 
transplant to open ground when frost has 
left the soil. The bulbs should be used be¬ 
fore they reach their full size and while 
the skin is still tender. 
EARLY WHITE VIENNA—Very early; 
small tops and of fine delicate flavor. 
EARLY PURPLE VIENNA — Identical 
with the above except color, which in this 
sort is a rich purple. 
1 Hi# Plant)) I 
(1 oz. will produce 1,500 plants) 
CULTURE — The seed of the Eggplant 
is very difficult to germinate; repeated 
sowings are often necessary. The seed 
requires heat and should be sown early in 
the spring under glass in a hot-bed. After 
all danger of frost is past and the ground 
has become thoroughly warm, transplant 
in the open. The soil should be thoroughly 
enriched with well rotted manure. 
BLACK BEAUTY—The earliest of all 
large-fruited Eggplant, ten days to two 
weeks earlier than the New York Purple. 
The color is a rich shiny purplish black. 
It is entirely free from spines.
