BORECOLE, or KALE. 
The Kales are 
more hardy than 
(the Cabbage, and 
will endure consid¬ 
erable frost without 
injury. When cut 
frozen, they are im¬ 
mediately placed 
in cold water. 
They do not form 
heads like Cab¬ 
bage, but furnish 
abundance of pret¬ 
ty, curly leaves, 
that are very ornamental and highly prized. The Kale 
furnishes abundant food for the cottagers of Europe, and 
when well grown and properly prepared is good enough 
for any one. Culture same as for Cabbage. 
Borecole or Kale, Dwarf German Greens, 
or Sprouts, • bright green, resembling Ruta 
Baga tops, and of fine flavor. The plan is to 
sow in rows, about a foot apart, in September, 
and gather in early spring, like Spinach ; per 
lb. $1.20; per oz. 10 cents, . 5 
Green Curled, or Scotch Kale, dwarf, nicely 
curled, and bright green ; hardy, and may be 
cut from the ground all the early part of winter. 
Per lb. $1.20; per oz. 10 cents, . 5 
Purple Kale, like the Scotch Kale, except in 
color, and will endure more frost; oz. 15 cents, 5 
Cottagers’ Kale, the favorite English variety, 
dwarf, and curled. Treatment as for Cab¬ 
bage, except that it should remain in the 
ground until needed for use ; per oz. 15 cents, 5 
BROCOLI. 
Brocoli resembles the Cauliflower ; indeed, it is hardly 
possible to distinguish the difference. Brocoli, however, 
is the most hardy, and in many sections of our country 
would not suffer in winter, but it dislikes severe summer 
heat more than cold ; and to succeed, it would be neces¬ 
sary to grow late plants, and set them out after the 
extreme heat of summer is past. Treated in this way 
we do not know why we cannot have Brocoli in abun¬ 
dance in our Southern States. 
Brocoli, Purple Cape, one of the hardiest and 
most popular varieties, and the most certain 
to form a good head ; the earliest of the purple 
varieties; per oz. 50 cents, . 10 
Southampton, fine, hardy, large, yellow vari¬ 
ety — one of the old popular sorts, like Ports¬ 
mouth, Sulphur, etc.; per oz. 25 cents, .... 5 
CELERY. 
Sow seeds in a hot-bed or in cold-frame. As soon 
as the plants are about three inches high, transplant to 
a nicely prepared bed in the border, setting them four 
or five inches apart. When some eight inches high, and 
fine stocky plants, set them in the trenches. Earth up a 
little during the summer, keeping the leaf stalks close to¬ 
gether, so that the soil cannot get between them. Finish 
earthing up in autumn, and never hoe or earth up in 
moist weather, nor when plants are moistened with dew. 
To preserve Celery for winter, dig trenches a foot in 
width and as deep as the tops of the plants. Stand the 
Celery in these, erect, as they grew, with what dirt 
adheres to the roots, packing closely, but not crowding. 
The engraving shows the trench filled and ready to be 
covered with straw or leaves as a protection from frost. 
Don’t cover until the weather becomes quite cold, anil 
then only a little at a time, as the cold becomes greater. 
Celery will bear a good deal of frost. The trench must 
have good drainage.
