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 
carrying 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. For 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.

corn and again when the prices are high and the profits satisfying.
