KALE OR BORECOLE 
Culture This vegetable is grown for use as greens. Seed may be sown in April or May in rows two to three feet apart, 
and if large plants are desired, thinned to two feet apart in the row. Where the climate is not too severe, it may be 
sown (for spring use) any time up to October, as it will winter over if protected by a covering of hay or some coarse 
litter. The quality is improved rather than injured by frost. An ounce will sow 200 feet of row, 4 pounds per acre.

stock produces the finest plants imagin¬ 
able. The leaves are extremely curly,
