KALE 
One ounce will plant a row ICO feet long; 2 lbs. per acre for Green Curled, Long Seasons or Smooth; 5 lbs. per acre for Scotch. 
Culture: Scotch Kale being particularly subject to the attacks of in¬ 
sects, both before and after coming up, it is necessary to sow it very 
thickly. Scotch Kale should be sown from the middle of July to the 
middle of August, and the Green Curled from the middle of August until 
the first of October. Plain Kale is sown nearly all the year round, either 
in drills or broadcast, and should be sown at intervals of 10 days in order 
to always have it tender. Sow one-half inch deep in rows 214 feet apart, 
allowing from 6 to 12 inches between the plants, and cultivate as 
cabbage. Kale being a very strong feeder, heavy manuring is necessary 
to make a good crop. 
Tait’s Thorobred Dwarf Blue Curled Scotch. (55 days). The 
leaves of this handsome dwarf Kale (sometimes known as Jamaica or 
Bloomsdale) are of a dark, bluish green color, which is very much more 
attractive than the bright green of the Green Scotch. The leaves are in¬ 
tricately and most beautifully curled, stand for a longer time in the 
spring before turning yellow, and command a higher price in all mar¬ 
kets. Pkt., 5c; oz., 10c; 14 JOc; lb., 90c, postpaid. 
Tait's Thorobred Dwarf Green Curled Scotch. (55 days). A va¬

beautifully curled. Pkt., 5c; oz., 10c; 14 lb*. 25c; lb., 75c, postpaid. 
Tait's Thorobred Favorite 
Curled Siberian. (60 days). A 
hardy and productive variety 
with bluish green foliage that 
grows rapidly and is very slow 
running to seed in the spring. 
The shape and curling of the 
leaf give it the appearance of an 
immense feather. Pkt., 5c; oz., 
10c; 14 lb., 20c; lb., 65c, postpaid. 
White Paris or Trianon. (55 
days). An unright quick-grow¬ 
ing self-blanching variety with 
large crisp heads of splendid 
flavor. Pkt., 10c; oz., 15c; 14 lb., 
35c; lb., $1.25, postpaid. 
Long Seasons. (80 days). A distinct, extremely hardy variety with 
slightly curled leaves which remain green for a long time. It can 
usually be cut for market long after other varieties of Kale and 
“greens” have gone to seed. The 
best time for seeding is July to 
October. Pkt., 5c; oz., 10c; 14 lb., 
30c; lb., 90c, postpaid. 
Tait's Dwarf Blue Curled Scotch Kale 
Tait's Thorobred Smooth. 
(30 days). Gardeners who are 
unacquainted with this most use¬ 
ful of salads, sometimes called 
Norfolk Kale, Spring Sprouts 
and Hanover, have a pleasant 
surprise in store, for it has 
come into universal cultivation 
in the South. While young it is 
v.'iry sweet and far more tender 
chan any kind of kale, and the 
growth is so rapid that leaves 
may be cut in three weeks from 
seeding. Although usually sown 
in the spring, it may be sown in 
the fall as it endures cold per¬ 
fectly. Oz., 5c; 14 lb., 10c; lb., 
30c, postpaid.
