THOUSAND-HEADED KALE 
MARROW CABBAGE 
(Chou moellier) 
WHITE STEMMED MARROW CABBAGE 
Marrow Cabbage is a valuable dairy and poultry 
food, very similar to Thousand Headed Kale, but even 
more prolific. The plants average four to six feet in 
height, with stalks five to six inches in diameter and 
weigh fourteen to twenty pounds. The stalks are 
edible and relished by cows. The lower leaves are 
broken off and fed as they mature. 
The plant is not so hardy as Thousand Headed Kale, 
but is most valuable for green feed in fall and early 
winter. The culture is the same as for Kale and 
Cabbage. One pound of seed will produce plants for 
one acre. Pkt. 5c; oz. 15c; lb. $1.50 
Every one with Poultry should have a patch of Kale 
or Marrow Cabbage

SELF-FOLDING

riety, also called Tri¬ 
anon, forms a large 
light green plant with 
a well-folded head of 
very good quality.

and very prominent. 
The inner leaves are 
nearly white, slightly 
tinged with green,

and sweet. This is 
considered the most 
reliable of the Cos or 
celery lettuces for the

THOUSAND¬ 
HEADED KALE 
Is a variety of cabbage that 
produces enormously. The plant 
attains a height of 3 to 4 feet; 
the stem is covered with leaves. 
Animals, especially sheep, eat it 
greedily. It grows well on any 
land and is very hardy. As we 
predicted it is now more popular 
than the widely used Dwarf 
Essex Rape. 
The seed may be either drilled 
or broadcasted. Drilled is the 
better. If drilled, plant rows 26 
to 30 inches apart as plants 
should be thinned out so as to 
stand 16 to 18 inches apart in 
the rows. In drilling use % to 
one pound of seed to the acre; in 
broadcasting, 1% lbs. 
Per pkt. 5c; oz. 10c; *4 lb. 
15c; lb. 40c, postpaid.

CHICKEN LETTUCE 
48 days. 
Here is a genuine lettuce which 
will yield as much or more 
chicken or rabbit feed as any 
“greens” plant. When cut it 
starts at once to grow again. 
The leaves can be pulled off stem 
like a kale. It sends up a stout 
stalk three or four feet high, 
loaded with leaves.

KOHL RABI 
The edible part is 
the turnip-shaped 
bulb formed above 
ground. It is tender 
and excellent when 
used before fully 
grown, combining 
somewhat the fla¬ 
vors of cabbage and 
turnip. 
Seed should be 
sown in light, rich 
soil as early in Spring 
as possible in rows 
one and one-half feet 
apart and when well 
established thin to 
six inches apart in 
the row. Plantings 
at intervals of ten 
days will give a suc¬ 
cession until hot 
weather, when they 
fail to grow well. 
Plantings may be 
made the latter part 
of July for Fall use. 
Early White Vienna—This variety is extremely early, 
with distinctly small tops. The bulbs are of medium 
size, very light green or nearly white, and are of best 
quality for the table if used when about two inches in 
diameter. Per pkt. 5c; oz. 25c; V4 lb. 75c 
Early Purple Vienna—Same as above except in color, 
which is purple. Per pkt. 5c; oz 25c; Vi lb. 75c 
LEEK 
This belongs to the onion family and is a good fall 
and winter substitute for green onions. The leaves 
are flat, and the stems are very large, cylindrical and 
bulbous. Sow early in spring in drills twelve to fifteen 
inches apart, covering one-half inch deep. 
Broad London, or Large American Flag—This is a 
strong-growing variety, producing large, thick stems 
of sweet flavor when properly blanched.
