is usually done from August 15th to October 15th. In the North 
sow early in the spring and again in the early part of August. 
Have the rows 18 inches apart and 12 inches apart in the rows.

KALE EVERGREEN GEM (50 days) 
Of all Kales, Bvergreen Gem is the best and most profitable vari-

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 
ety. 
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 efter 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 
earrying 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. 2
