Kohl Rabi—Early White Vienna 

Dwarf Curled Kale—Fine for winter greens. 
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 make delicate greens, and they are better after a few frosts 
in the fall. With a little protection, 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 transplanting. 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, 
but 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 mild- 
est 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.

the only kind we offer. It pro- 
duces large, thick, pearly white stalks, and the 
quality is excellent being tender and mild.
