ESCAROLLE — KILGORE’S IMPROVED FLORIDA 
DEEP HEART. (90 days.) One of the very best and most 
profitable types to grow commercially. In great demand on 
northern markets, and well adapted to Florida soil and climatic 
conditions. The leaves are large, broad, thick, slightly crump- 
led, of medium green color, with thick, nearly white midribs. 
Our improved stock of this variety is of the full-heart type, 
developing an upright growth, producing a very heavy, thick 
matted plant with large, deep, well-blanched creamy white 
hearts. Our tests indicate this stock to be hardier than other 
full-heart strains, and to stand long-distance shipment better. 
This improved variety has completely replaced the old Broad 
Leaved Batavian in commercial production.

GREEN CURLED. (Green Ribbed, Ruffec Strain.) 
(95 days.) Sometimes called “Chicory.” A hardy vigorous 
sort, with deep green, curled, finely cut leaves, giving a mossy 
appearance. The midrib is thick, broad, green, tender and 
fleshy. A dense mass of deeply divided leaves forms the head 
which blanches readily to a beautiful creamy white. The plant 
is hardy and vigorous.

DEEP HEART FRINGED. (New) (90 days.) This is an en- 
tirely new type of Endive, between Florida Deep Heart and 
Green Curled, but somewhat more upright in growth than either, 
and with broader leaves than Green Curled, and makes a strong- 
er and more robust plant than Green Curled. Outer leaves turn 
upward, making plants less susceptible to bottom rots than 
other Endives. The extra deep, well filled hearts, blanch eas- 
ily and naturally to a clear, creamy yellow; are of the highest, 
tender quality, and make an attractive, delicious, appetizing 
salad.

GARLIC oa») 
Plant 1 pound to 30 feet of row for a family of 3 or 4 
people. 
Garlic sets come in the form of large Garlic bulbs which are 
divided into so-called sets or cloves, which are planted the same 
as onion sets, from August to November, in rows 15 to 20 inches 
apart, setting the cloves about 4 inches apart in the row. Gar- 
lic is a southern crop and does exceptionally well in Florida. 
The bulbs are used for flavoring soups and stews. They should 
be stored in a dry, airy place until used. 
Y% Ib. 45e; 1 lb. 75e; postpaid. 
KALE 
Plant 1 ounce to 50 feet of row or 1 packet to 20 feet 
of row for a family of 3 or 4 people. 
Cutture. Kale is grown for “Greens.” Plant in Florida 
from August to April, in rows 2 feet apart, and for large plants 
thin to 18 or 20 inches apart in the row. The plants are extreme- 
ly hardy, withstanding the coldest weather in any part of Flori- 
da. The plants also stand heat, and can be grown almost the 
year around in Florida, except in midsummer. 
DWARF BLUE CURLED SCOTCH. (70 days from seed 
sowing to edible stage.) This is the most desirable hardy var- 
iety for Florida and for the markets. It forms a handsome, 
dwarf, spreading plant with many long, heavy, finely curled, 
attractive, blue-green, plumelike leaves. Our stock is excep- 
tionally well-bred, uniform and very attractive. The flavor of 
the leaves when boiled like spinach is delicate and enticing, 
making it popular wherever grown. This vegetable is very nu- 
tritious and rich in vitamin A.

KOHL RABI 
Plant 1 ounce to 50 feet of row for a family of 3 or 4 
people. 
Cutture. Plant in rows 11% to 2 feet apart, thinning to 
from 4 to 6 inches apart in the rows. Planting every ten days 
will give a succession of tender, fleshy stems until hot weath- 
er. Start fall planting in September, and successive plantings 
can be made until early spring. 
EARLY WHITE VIENNA. (50 days from seed sowing to 
edible stage.) Extremely early, with distinctly small tops. The 
fleshy stems, or so-called bulbs, are formed above ground 
and are very light green or nearly white, very tender and deli- 
cate, and of best quality if used when about 2 inches in dia- 
meter, before fully grown. Prepared by slicing and boiling the 
same as turnips. They make a delicious and nutritious dish.
