White Sea Kale is a delicious 
perennial vegetable which is 
cultivated somewhat like As¬ 
paragus, and is very easily 
grown. It is ready for use 
earlier in the spring than As¬ 
paragus, and combines the 
Aavor of Asparagus with that 
of Celery. Its blanched stalks 
are cooked like Asparagus and 
the leaves are used as greens. 
Owing to its extraordinary

The Winter Watermelon 
A Novelty for Your Garden 
A home-grown melon for your Thanksgiving dinner! 
Genuine mid-season form and luscious flavor carried be¬ 
yond the melancholy days, when frost has hit the pump¬ 
kin and corn is in the shock. This is not a "Citron”, nor 
a freak, but a very prolific long-keeping true water¬ 
melon type of medium size, round shape, yellowish rind 
with flesh bright red, crystalline, sweet as honey. 
Fruits taken from the field before killing frost and 
stored in a cool place will keep long into the late fall 
and early winter and retain their delicious sweetness 
and flavor.

following spring in the South.

ing as well as for greens. Tender and of the very finest
