KALE EVERGREEN GEM (50 days) 
Of all Kales, Evergreen Gem is the best and most profitable vari- 
ety. When fully developed (50 days from date of sowing) the plants 
stand 18 to 24 inches high, of very dense growth, very spreading and 
rest directly on the ground. Being so to say anchored to the ground 
are not affected by high winds. The leaves are as heavily curled as 
the best strains of curled parsley, very attractive in appearance of 
distinct, intense, deep green color with a bluish sheen. The leaves 
never turn yellow even after being exposed to several frosts. Mark 
edly different from other Kales as it branches out of the bud instead 
of from the stalk, producing many more leaves than the old varieties 
and is unsurpassed in yielding qualities, 500 barrels per acre being 
the average crop. The leaves being very densely curled have high 
earrying qualities for long distance shipping. Try this Kale. We 
assure you that you -will find it the finest and by far the most 
profitable variety. Fer best results plant in rows 30 in. apart, 8 to 
10 in. apart in the rews, thinning out when the plants are 4 to 5 
inches tall. Pkt. 10c; oz. 20c; lb. $2.20, prepaid.

How to Make Dill Pickles 
Freshly gathered perfectly formed and sound, carefully washed 
cukes are placed in jars or barrels in layers with layers of dill 
either fresh or dried and the jars filled with brine. For quick con- 
sumption make the brine by adding a pint of vinegar and 4 oz. of 
salt to each gallon of water; if you wish the pickles to keep for a 
longer time, use twice as much vinegar and salt. Place a board 
with a weight on the top of the cukes, to keep them submerged. 
In warm weather the pickles will be ready in 8-10 days, in cool 
weather it takes as long as 4 weeks. 
AN IMMENSE CROP of pickling cucumbers will you get by cut- 
ting off the tips of vines and keeping them cut to the length of 4 
ft. At ALL times pick your vines CLEAN. If the market price is 
not below the cost of production, sell, otherwise feed your cukes 
to pigs. Vines picked clean will keep on bearing. Should the price 
be what it should be, you will have cukes to sell. Make 3 to 4 
successive plantings. If your first planting goes haywire, there are 
3 more plantings to fall back on. As they say, there is more than 
one way to skin the cat. Every way has to be used nowadays if 
one does not want to go crazy trying to figure out how to meet the 
es.
