CULTURE This vegetable is a cross between a 
. cabbage and a turnip. The edible por¬ 
tion is the large bulb which forms on the stem 
above the soil. We advise successive sowing in 
order to obtain tender bulbs, which have a mild 
delicate, cabbage-like flavor. It is a hardy plant 
and seed may be sown practically all the year 
around. Plant it like turnip and thin to six inches 
apart in row. One ounce seed will produce 2000 
plants. Use when to 3 in. in diameter as it 
soon becomes woody.

is a hardy plant and can be easily grown from seed. Plants are usually 
cut off when the leaves are 6 inches or more in length, but with the fine 
curled varieties the leaves can be gathered for use when of good size. 
If the tall Scotch variety is planted, the lower leaves should be carefully 
pulled off so that the plants can grow on and furnish a continuous supply. 
This is also true of Jersey or Tree Kale. One ounce of seed will produce 
4000 plants. 2 lbs. will plant an acre. Seed should be sown thinly in drills 
and plants reset 18 inches apart in rows 3 feet apart.

GARLIC 
r'MiTiiRC Garlic is a perennial plant with 
OULIUKC. g bulbous root and belongs to the 
onion family. It has flat leaves and the 
bulb is composed of several parts or bulbels 
similar to those of a multiplier onion set. 
Garlic has a strong, penetrating odor and 
flavor and is highly esteemed for flavoring 
soups, stews, etc. We cannot offer seeds 
but can supply the bulbs or sets. 
Prepare the ground as for onions, separate 
the sets and plant them in drills eight inches 
apart and four to six inches apart in the 
drill, covering two inches deep. Cultivate 
like onion sets. When the leaves turn yel¬ 
low, pull bulbs and dry in the shade.
