that for Celery.

Garlic is propagated largely by the cloves (smaller segments 
of the bulbs) as planting from seed is not practical. Plant 
cloves in November and December in rows 12 inches apart, 
dropping cloves 3-4 inches apart, covering them 2 inches. The 
culture is the same as for Onions and are ready for harvest 
when tops are dry. Garlic is widely used for flavoring in 
soups, stews, etc. Bulbs, 30c per lb., postpaid. 
Excellent greens for winter and spring use as the quality is 
improved by exposure to frost. Sow seed of the Tall and 
Dwarf Curled Scotch Kales in June and July, then they can be 
harvested from fall until spring at which time they are at. 
their best. Seed of Jersey and Thousand Headed Kale may be 
sown from May to September but May plantings afford a 
much longer bearing season. These two varieties should be 
planted 3 or 4 feet distant each way as the plants grow to 
considerable proportions. Kale requires the same cultural 
treatment as cabbage.
