KALE —An excellent vitamin-rich green leafy vegetable 
Widely used for “‘boiling greens.’’ Young leaves may be chopped raw like lettuce for 
salads and sandwiches. Sow seed in the open from early spring until about three 
months before your first expected hard frost. The early sowings give fully grown 
plants, whereas the later sowings will furnish delicious, small, tender leaves for laté 
fall and early winter use. Light frost seems to improve the flavor. Thin or transplant 
the seedlings to stand 12 in. apart in rows 2 to 3ft. apart. A pkt. will sow 30 ft. of row;
