KALE, DWARF CURLY 
Kale or Borecole 
1 oz. to 100 ft., 4 to 5 Ibs. per acre 
CULTURE — The culture is practically the 
same as that of late Cabbage, but as the 
plants will withstand several degrees of frost 
they can grow late into the Fall. Many think 
Kale best after the first heavy frost. 
GREEN CURLED. The plants of this variety 
are two to four feet in height and bear an 
abundance of long plume-like leaves. The leaf 
edges are deeply cut and very curly. Very 
seldom injured by freezing in Western Wash- 
ington or Oregon. Pkg. 10c; oz. 35c. 
DWARF CURLED SCOTCH. A finely curled 
low growing and hardy variety, well adapted 
for making greens. This variety is used largely 
for garnishing, as the leaves are of a beautiful 
shade of green. This variety is also very hardy. 
Pkg. 10c; oz. 35c. 
THOUSAND HEADED or COW KALE. 
Thousand Headed Kale is one of the most 
valuable of all winter crops for the dairymen 
and poultrymen. It is a very hardy plant be- 
longing to the cabbage family, which grows in 
many cases, well over four feet in height, 
while the central stalk produces an abund- 
ance of long, broad leaves which are of great 
value as a green winter feed. Many poultry- 
men use it almost exclusively as a source of 
green feed during the winter. Pkg. 10c; oz. 20c; 
Ya Ib. 60c; 1 Ib. $1.50. 
Kohl Rabi

nip. As early in Spring as possible, sow the 
seed in light rich soil in rows 1% feet apart. 
When plants are well established, thin to 6 
inches apart.
