Kale, Tall Green Curled Scotch 
Excellent greens for winter and spring use as the quality is 
improved by exposure to frost. Sow seed of the Tall and 
Dwarf Curled Scotch Kales in June and July, then they can be 
harvested from fall until spring at which time they are at 
their best. Seed of Jersey and Thousand Headed Kale may be 
sown from May to September but May plantings afford a 
much longer bearing season. These two varieties should be 
planted 3 or 4 feet distant each way as the plants grow to 
considerable proportions.
