KALE 
One ounce will plant a row 100 feet long; 2 Ibs. per acre for 
Green Siberian, Long Seasons or Smooth; 5 Ibs. per acre for Scotch. 
Culture: Scotch Kale being particularly subject to the attacks of 
insects, both before and after coming up, it is necessary to sow it 
very thickly. Scotch Kale should be sown from the middle of 
July to the middle of August, and the Green Curled from the 
middle of August until the first of October. Plain Kale is sown 
nearly all the year round, either in drills or broadcast, and should 
be sown at intervals of 10 days in order to always have it tender. 
Sow one-half inch deep in rows 2% feet apart, allowing from 6 to 
12 inches between the plants, and cultivate as cabbage. Kale being 
a very strong feeder, heavy manuring is necessary to make a 
good crop.

Dwarf Blue Curled Scotch Kale 
(The Darkest Green Scotch Kale) 
Sometimes called Early Hanover Salad or Spring 
SMOOTH. Sprouts. Our refined strain which we have developed 
and grow for critical market garden trade has come to universal 
cultivation in the south, and is splendid for early ‘‘greens.’” The 
plant has thick, smooth, round leaves, which when young and 
tender, have a sweeter taste than any other kind of Kale. The 
growth is so rapid that it can be cut in three or four weeks from 
time of seeding, and is rather slow in running to seed. Although 
usually sown in the early spring, it may be sown in the early or 
late fall, as it will stand cold weather. Pkt., 10c; oz., 15¢; V%,
