Kale or Borecole for 
Winter Greens 
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 propor¬ 
tions. 
TALL GREEN CURLED SCOTCH— The va¬ 
riety most commonly used. The plant 
grows 3 or 4 feet high, bearing long, 
plume-like light green leaves which are 
deeply cut, also finely curled at edges. 
Very hardy and of excellent quality. Pkt. 
5c, oz. 15c, Va lb. 35c, lb. $1.00. 
JERSEY or TREE —Plant grows 3 to 4 feet 
high and frequently 6 to 8 feet. Produces 
a great number of large green smooth 
leaves, often 2Vi feet long, on a straight, 
stiff, strong, comparatively slender stem. 
Pkt. 5c, oz. 15c, Va lb. 35c, lb. $1.00. 
THOUSAND HEADED— Often called Jersey 
but different from the Jersey in that the 
stem of this variety is unusually divided 
into a number of branches bearing large 
leaves. Crops are known to have gone as 
high as 60 tons of green feed per acre. An 
excellent food for poultry and highly rec¬ 
ommended. Pkt. 5c, oz. 15c, Va lb. 35c, lb. 
$ 1 . 00 . 
Leek 
Belonging to the Onion family, this widely 
cultivated species is used as a favorite sub¬ 
stitute for green onions in the fall and win¬ 
ter. Sow seed in March and April, cover¬ 
ing V 2 inch deep. Transplant seedlings 
when the size of a pencil to rows which 
are 14 to 16 inches apart, placing them 6 
inches distance, and as they grow earth 
them up like Celery if nice white, tender 
leek is wanted. 
LARGE AMERICAN FLAG IMPROVED — 
Fine early productive variety. The stems 
are 2 inches in diameter and easily 
blanched as high as 10 inches from the 
root. Pkt. 5c, oz. 25c, Va lb. 75c, lb. $2.50. 
Mustard 
Mustard is grown principally for greens, 
the leaves resembling those of turnips but 
are larger, more tender, and not so coarse. 
Mustard does best when sown so that it 
matures during the cool of spring or early 
fall. Sow in rows 18 inches apart, and 
thin plants to 6 inches distance. Mustard 
goes to seed quickly, so successive sow¬ 
ings are necessary for continuous cropping. 
BAK-TOI (Chinese White Rib) — Green 
leaves with broad white rib, somewhat 
like a small chard plant. Delicious when 
cooked, the same as Spinach or Chard.

orous and hardy, of upright, spreading
