Sweet, Pot and Medicinal 
There is a rapidly increasing 
interest in all of the sweet-smell¬ 
ing herbs in America today, and 
Herb Gardens are becoming quite 
popular. As the great majority of 
these plants are of very easy 
culture, there would seem to be 
no valid reason for their not 
being grown in a greater number 
of even very small gardens.

FLORENCE FENNEL 
ltalian^Finocchio 
Florence Fennel. This delicious Italian 
vegetable has grown very much in favor 
in recent years. The leaf bases form 
the portion which is so highly prized, 
being sometimes boiled and occasionally 
cut up and used in a raw state for salad 
purposes. Pkt. 10c; oz. 50c. 
KALE OR BORECOLE 
Italian^Cavolo verdi 
Sow the seeds not earlier than May 15 and 
set the resulting plants in rows, allowing 
about 2 feet between the plants and at least 
3 feet between the rows. The Kales are very 
hardy and will sometimes withstand the rigors 
of our New England winters. They should be 
subjected to several freezings to improve their 
flavor. One ounce will sow 150 feet of drill; 
6 ounces to the acre. 
DWARF GREEN CURLED SCOTCH* 
Leaves bright green, closely curled, very 
tender. Quality is improved if the plants 
are touched by frost before being used. 
Pkt. 10c; oz. 25c; % lb. 60c; lb. $2.00. 
Siberian or Winter. Pkt. 10c; oz. 25c; 
M lb. 75c; lb. $2.00. 
Kohlrabi, White Vienna 
LEEK 
/ talian —Porro 
Sow the seed ourdoors in shallow drills 
during April and later thin out or transplant 
so that the plants will stand 8 or 10 inches 
apart. The soil in which they are grown should 
be well fertilized. As the leeks grow, the soil 
should be hilled up around them in just the 
same manner as is advised for celery in order 
to produce the large white stalks which are so 
desirable. One ounce of seed will sow 100 feet 
of drill; 4 pounds to the acre. 
LARGE AMERICAN FLAG. Hardy, 
vigorous, and an excellent Winter sort. 
Bulbs long and very uniform. Pkt. 10c; 
oz. 35c; J4 lb. $1.00. 
Musselburgh or Carentan. The famous 
Scotch sort. Large, hardy, and distinct. 
Pkt. 10c; oz. 50c; lb. $1.25. 
Leek, Large American Flag 
KOHLRABI 
ltaliciri’-^Cavolo rapa 
Seed of the “Turnip Rooted Cabbage” may 
be sown thinly in shallow drills in the early 
spring and up to August 1 for a late crop. 
Several successive sowings are necessary for 
only the smaller and more tender Kohlrabis 
are desirable, and they soon get stringy and 
harden during hot, dry weather. Spring and 
autumn crops yield much the best roots. One 
ounce will sow 150 feet of drill; 2 pounds to 
the acre. 
Early White Vienna. A very early varie¬ 
ty. Tops small; outer color greenish 
white. Flesh quite free from fiber and of 
excellent quality. Pkt. 10c; oz. 50c; }4 
lb. $1.50. 
Early Purple Vienna. Very early. Tops 
small; outer color purple. Flesh quite 
free from fiber. Pkt. 10c; oz. 35c; lb. 
$1.25*
