DWARF CURLED SCOTCH KALE 
Kale or Borecole 
1 oz. to 100 ft., 4 to 5 Ibs. per acre 
Culture. The culture is practically the same 
as that of late Cabbage, but as the plants 
will withstand several degrees of frost they 
can grow late into the Fall. Many think Kale 
best after the first heavy frost. 
Green Curled. The plants of this variety are 
two to four feet in height and bear an 
abundance of long plume-like leaves. The 
leaf-edges are deeply cut and very curly. 
Pkt. 10c; oz. 35c. 
Dwarf Curled Scotch. A finely curled low 
growing and hardy variety, well adapted for 
making greens. Pkt. 10c; oz. 35c. 
Thousand Headed or Cow Kale. It is a very 
hardy plant which grows in many cases, well 
over four feet in height, while the central 
stalk produces an abundance of long, broad 
leaves which are of great value as a green 
winter feed. Many poultrymen use it almost 
exclusively as a source of green feed during 
ie ey eon Pkt. 10c; oz. 25c; Ya Ib. 60c; 1 
Kohl Rabi 
Y2 oz. to 100 ft., 4 to 5 Ibs. per acre 
Culture. The delicious flavor of this turnip 
shaped bulb combines both Cabbage and 
Turnip. As early in Spring as possible, sow 
the seed in light rich soil in rows 1% feet 
apart. When plants are well established, 
thin to 6 inches apart. 
White Vienna or Large White. Bulb large, 
white and skin smooth. Very fine flavor and 
an excellent keeper. Pkt. 10c; oz. 50c. 
WHITE VIENNA KOHL RABI 
LETTUCE 
Culture. Sow the seed in hotbeds during 
February until the middle of March, after- 
ward pricking off into flats or coldframes, 
leaving about 6 to 8 inches between the 
plants. As soon as weather becomes suitable, 
transfer to open ground and set out in rows 
1 foot apart, leaving 9 inches between the 
plants in the rows. 
V2 oz. to 100 ft., 3 Ibs. per acre 
Big Boston. Very large, smooth leaved, solid- 
heading variety. It is congenial to all cli- 
mates, a good shipper. In flavor it probably 
excels other smooth-leaved varieties. Pkt. 
10c; oz. 25c; V4 Ib. 75c. 
Black Seed Simpson. Large, early; very nice 
and desirable; slow to run to seed; tender a 
long time. Pkt. 10c; oz. 25c; V4 Ib. 75c. 
Early Prize Head Brown. Large leaves tinged 
with brownish red; very tender, crisp and 
sweet, forming a large, loose head. Pkt. 10c; 
oz. 25c; V4 Ib. 75c. 
Grand Rapids. This is the kind of lettuce 
that is generally used for growing under 
glass in winter. Pkt. 10c; 0z. 25c; Ib. 75c. 
Great Lakes. A sure heading variety, de- 
pendable for summer production. Leaves 
large, thick, glossy and well folded; ribs 
heavy. Slow to bolt to seed and considerable 
peer aee s to tipburn. Pkt. 15¢; 0z. 40c; 1% Ib. 
Hanson. One of the very best. Large heads, 
sweet and crisp. If you want your lettuce to 
head, plant this kind and thin out, or trans- 
plant to several inches apart. Pkt. 10c; oz. 
25c; Va Ib. 75c. 
New York or Los Angeles. This wonderful 
variety of lettuce is undoubtedly one of the 
finest, both for the market and for the home 
garden. It forms a large, tight, crisp head. 
The outer leaves are dark green and frilled 
at the edges, while the inner leaves are very 
tender and beautifully blanched. Pkt. 10c; 
oz. 25c; Ya Ib. 75c. 
CHICKEN LETTUCE 
Chicken Lettuce. This is a rough, rank grow- 
ing variety of lettuce that has no head but 
produces a large bunch of leaves. For this 
reason it is an ideal source of green feed for 
ee Pkt. 10c; oz. 25c; Y% Ib. 60c; 1 Ib. 
COS or ROMAINE LETTUCE 
White Paris. This kind of lettuce is distin- 
guished by its long, narrow, spoon-shaped 
leaves, folding into loose, sugar-loaf shaped 
heads which blanch better by having the 
outer leaves drawn about them and tied. 
The quality is distinct from that of the Cab- 
bage Lettuces and by many is considered 
very superior. Pkt. 10c; oz. 25c; V4 Ib. 75c. 
Leek 
Y2 oz. to 100 ft., 4 Ibs. per acre 
Large American Flag. This vegetable be- 
longs to the onion family and is a good fall 
and winter substitute for green onions. It is 
very fine for flavoring soup and other cook- 
ing. The leaves are flat and the stems large 
and bulbous. Pkt. 10c¢; oz. 60c. 
Mustard 
Y2 oz. to 100 ft., 4 Ibs. per acre 
Culture. Seed may be sown from early 
Spring to midsummer in rows 18 inches 
apart. Thin to 5 or 6 inches apart in the 
rows. The plants are in condition for use 
as soon as the leaves are the size of one’s 
hand. Mustard runs to seed quickly, so that 
successive plantings are necessary for a con- 
tinuous supply. 
Giant Southern Curled. This variety grows 
about three feet tall. The broad leaves are 
cut and frilled. They are boiled and used 
as greens. Pkt. 10c; 0z. 25c; V4 Ib. 75c. 
GREAT LAKES LETTUCE 
Muskmelons 
1 oz. to 100 ft., 3 to 4 Ibs. per acre 
Culture. In sections where the Summers are 
short, seed can be planted indoors or in hot 
beds in small boxes. The young plants can 
be transferred to the garden when danger of 
frost is past. The rows should be at least 6 
feet apart and the hills 3 feet apart. 
Lake Champlain (Skagit Golden). This is the 
earliest muskmelon that we have ever seen 
and while muskmelons are not always satis- 
factory in Western Washington we believe 
that Skagit Golden will give good results. 
If you have a warm early soil you will be de- 
lighted with this fine melon. The flesh is 
medium thick, sweet and juicy and of a rich 
salmon orange color. Pkt. 10c; oz. 35c. 
Watermelons 
1 oz. to 100 ft., 3 to 4 Ibs. per acre 
Culture. Rich rather sandy soils produce 
the finest crops of Watermelons, but a well- 
drained loam, especially with a southern ex- 
posure, is also suitable. Place 6 to 8 seeds 
in a circle in each hill, and cover % inch 
deep with a fine soil. One ounce will plant 
20 to 25 hills. 
Early Arizona (Skagit Gem). Medium small, 
oval, flesh pink and of excellent flavor. Our 
own trials have proven this to be the earliest 
watermelon for the Puget Sound area we 
have seen. Pkt. 10c; 0z. 35c. 
New Hampshire Midget (Gold Medal Win- 
ner). (65 days.) Early and prolific, up to 6 
inches through and weighing 6 lbs. Rind very 
thin. Flesh strawberry red and of excellent 
flavor. Vines small. Pkt. 25c.
