CURLED AND OTHER VARIETIES 
CULTURE: Growing of the loose heading 
varieties is much the same as the New York 
varieties but much easier to grow. However, 
sow in 15-inch rows and thin the leaf varie¬ 
ties to 4 inches apart and the Big Boston 
to 7 inches apart as soon as a few leaves are 
formed. For early crop plants can be sown 
in hotbeds and transplanted to the open field.
