BORECOLE, KALE and GERMAN GREENS are general terms applied to those classes of 
cabbages that do not form heads, but are used in their -ven growth. Some of the varieties are the 
most tender and delicate of any of the cabbage family. They are hardy and are not injured by the 
frost 
CULTURE. As far north as New York they may be sown in September and treated like spinach, 
or they may be planted and treated like late cabbage and will continue growing until very late in 
the season. In the south they will live and grow throughout the winter without protection. } is 
better not to cut or handle them when frozen, but if this is unavoidable, thaw them out in cold 
water. The young shoots which start up in the spring from the old stumps are very tender andmake 
excellent greens.

well established, thin to six inches apart in the row. One or two plantings at intervals of ten days

% tter part of July for fall use. 
l arly White Vienna

excellent quality.
