KALE or BORECOLE 
Native of Europe. One Ounce of Seed Will Sow 100 Yards of Row. Four Pounds to the Acre. 
Seed breaks ground in 6 days. One inch high in 8 days under most favorable circumstances in 
greenhouse. This is a very valuable plant for greens. A curly, loose-leaved plant of the Cabbage family, 
of hardy character and succeeding on almost any soil. 
Sow in the early Spring when the Oak is in full leaf, again in the early Autumn. Drill in rows of 2^ 
feet and thin to 8 or 10 inches, according to vigor of variety. It is a great favorite in the Southern States 
and is grown very extensively at Norfolk, Virginia, and in Texas, for shipment to the Northern markets 
during January and February. 
BLOOMSDALE DOUBLE EXTRA CURLED 
- 60 Days. A superior sort, introduced by 
us in 1894, being very curly, very dark 
blue green, very hardy, so short stem¬ 
med that it rests practically on the 
ground, 9 to 11 inches broad, 
spreading and far denser in 
foliage than any other sort. 
Plants broader than a 
bushel basket and seem to 
Imgthe earth. More hardy 
than Dwarf Curled Scotch, 
passingunharmed through 
the severest Winter as far 
north as Philadelphia. 9 
inches high. The Blooms- 
dale Kale is more hardy than 
the Scotch Kale, retaining 
its good color after cutting 
and throughout days of trans¬ 
portation, bringing more money 
when put upon the market because it is more 
attractive and appears to be fresher all the 
time because of its dark green color.

KOHL RABI 
One Ounce of Seed Will Plant 100 Yards of Row. Plant Two Pounds per Acre. This plant, used 
both for table and for cattle feeding, is a Cabbage in which the cultural development has been directed to 
the stalk, not to leaf. The enlarged stems take the globular form of Turnips. They are in season 
June, July and August, or at periods when Turnips are not available. Try them when the balls are no 
larger than a silver dollar. They will be found very appetizing. 
The Kohl Rabi is a turnip shape swelling of the stem, in the shape of a ball, the size of a large orange— 
this occurs near the surface of the earth—these balls when the size of an egg make a very excellent vegetable 
having the combined flavors of Cabbage and Turnips.

8 inches in diameter. A field variety for cattle, 
three times as large as the table sort.
