KALE 
One ounce will plant a row 100 feet long; 2 Ibs. per acre for Green 
Siberian, Long Seasons or Smooth; 5 Ibs. 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 2% 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.

pleasant surprise in store, for it has 
come into universal cultivation in the 
South. While young it is very sweet 
and far more tender than 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 perfectly. Oz., 5c; % Ib.,
