Dwarf Blue Scotch, Extra Curled. This 
Kale is of a dark bluish green color, which 
it retains without yellowing, even after 
several days of transportation, thus com- 
manding a higher price when put on the 
market. It attains a large size and pro- 
duces a great mass of foliage. In addition 
it is very hardy and passes the severest 
winter without being harmed. 
Dwarf Green Curled Scotch or Norfolk. 
One of the most popular shipping sorts. 
Very largely used mm Norfolk trucking 
district. 
Hardy Winter. Grows 114 feet high with 
an abundance of beautiful light green 
leaves which are densely curled and crim- 
pled. Besides being very hardy it possesses 
the advantage of all other varieties in forc- 
ing a second crop of moss-curled leaves as 
soon as the first ones are gone. This new 
growth is of the finest quality and is ready 
for market during the winter and early 
spring months, when it demands fancy 
prices. 
M.-S. EMERALD ISLE. This entirely dis- 
tinct strain is the handsomest Kale that 
has ever come under our notice. The 
closely curled, handsome leaves are most 
attractive to look at, but that is not all 
—it is of the finest quality and the flavor 
is delicious. The plants are of medium 
height and very hardy. 
Tall Scotch. Best for summer. Very spread- 
ing, nicely curled and hardy; frost 1m- 
proves it. No supply.

the ground, and, if used when young
