GARLIC BULBS 
; The bulbs have a pungent flavor, similar to onions, and are widely used for flavor- 
ing. The bulbs should be separated into ‘‘cloves’’ or flakes and set out like onion sets 
about 4 inches apart in the row, and covered 2 inches deep. When the tops die down, 
take up the bulbs and dry in a shady place. Plant in early spring or in the fall.

KALE or Borecole 
Kale is used principally as “‘greens’’ during the late fall, winter and early spring. 
It is also used for garnishing and even as decorations. The young and tender shoots 
make very delicate greens, the quality being improved by light frosts. 
Early sowings will give fully grown plants and later sowings in July furnish the 
tenderest leaves for late fall and winter use. Plant in rows 1% to 2 ft. apart and thin 
or transplant to 12 in. in the row. Kale will usually 
winter over well with a little protection.

its exceptionally high food value and vitamin con- 
tent, and the excellent quality of this strain makes it 
the ideal one to grow.

LEEK

thick stem, which is blanched white by drawing earth 
around it. When boiled it is more delicate in flavor 
than the mildest onion and it is also used in salad or 
like green onions. Seed is sowed in early spring and 
the leek is ready for use in the fall. With a little pro- 
tection, it will last over winter and give a welcome 
addition to the early spring menu.
