KALE or Borecole 
Kale is used principally as ‘‘greens”’ during the late fall, winter and early spring. It 
is also used for garnishing and the larger leaves sometimes used as decorations. The 
young and tender shoots that come out on the stalks make delicate greens which are 
relished by many people. They are better after a few frosts in the fall. With a little 
protection, or when the snow is deep, kale will stand the winter without injury. 
Kale may be grown in the same way as cabbage, or 
may be sown in rows and thinned instead of transplant- 
ing. For full grown plants sow in May or June in rows 
18 to 24 inches apart and thin to 12-15 inches in the 
row. For small tender delicious leaves in the fall and 
winter, seed may be sown as late as July.

LEEK 
Leek is a kind of onion that does not form any bulb, 
bul grows in a long thick stem, which is blanched by 
drawing earth around it. When blanched it makes an 
appetizing salad, or can be eaten like green onions. 
Boiled, they are more delicate in flavor than the mildest 
onions. The seed is sown in the spring and the leek is 
ready for use in the fall. If given a little protection with 
dirt, it will last over winter and give a very welcome 
addition to the early spring menu.

duces large, thick, pearly white stalks, and the quality

FENNEL or Finocchio 
This is quite distinct from the common sweet fennel used 
for flavoring. It produces a large bulb at the surface of the 
ground which makes an excellent vegetable with a pleasant 
anise-like flavor. It is used cooked as vegetable and also 
fresh in salad. 
Sow in rows 1% to 2 feet apart and thin or transplant 
to stand 6 to 8 inches apart. Sow in rich soil in May or 
June, and again a month later for fall use. When the plants 
are half grown, drag earth up to them to blanch the bulbs.
