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 the frost. An ounce will sow 200 feet of row, 4 pounds per acre.

FENNEL 
OR FINOCCHIO 
Culture Sow the seed early in the spring in rich, well 
prepared soil, thinning to ten inches in the row. The plant

somewhat like celery. An ounce will sow 100 feet of drill. 
Three pounds per acre.
