plant unharmed by a little frost. It is 
grown the same as lettuce.

EGG PLANT

lots of it. For it is a warm-weather slow- 
maturing species. Black Beauty is a

purplish-black fruits of more or less globe 
shape. Lighter in color and longer in 
shape is New York Improved.

variety. Large and productive. 
KALE 
A plant that should be more extensively 
cultivated, both for beauty and because 
it stands in the highest rank in regard to 
vitamin and dietetic value. When the 
rest of the garden begins to suffer dilapi- 
dation in the fall, the kale stands and 
provides the best of greens after frost has 
laid other plants low. 
11 
Kale requires the same cultural care as 
cabbage. When mature, the whole plant 
is not cut; leaves are taken as required, 
from the bottom, and they. should not be 
allowed to grow so old as to be fibrous 
and tough. Dwarf Green Curled is the 
most extensively grown, and by far the 
best for Northwest gardens. 
Yq ounce, 10c; ounce, 20c; 14 pound, 
60c. Also Packets.

curled brilliant green leaves. Plants grow

Cc. 
KOHLRABI 
An odd looking vegetable that is cooked 
and served as turnips. 
Kohlrabi is a hardy vegetable, unharmed 
by light frost, and better able to with- 
stand drought than turnip. Its quality is 
much better, however, when it makes 
rapid growth, and for this reason the soil 
should be rich and moderately moist. 
White Vienna is the variety generally 
grown, but some gardeners prefer Purple 
Vienna as it is thought to swell a little 
larger before beginning to get woody 
and tough. Seed is sown in the same man- 
ner as turnip, and growing habits follow 
the same pattern. However, plants 
should be thinned, at least, six inches 
apart. 
Packet, 10c; 1/4 ounce, 30c; ounce, 50c. 
White Vienna (55 days): Atits best when 
bulbs are 2 inches in diameter. 

Purple Vienna (62 days): Plants are 
small with dark green leaves.
