ESCAROLLE—IMPROVED FLORIDA DEEP HEART. (90 
days.) One of the very best and most prolific types to grow 
commercially. In great demand on northern markets, and well 
adapted to Florida soil and climatic conditions. The leaves are 
large, broad, thick, slightly crumpled, of medium green color, 
with thick, nearly white midribs. Our improved stock of this 
variety is of the full-heart type, developing an upright growth, 
producing a very heavy, thick matted plant with large, deep, 
well balanced creamy white hearts. We have an outstanding 
improved, true-to-type stock of this variety which we are now 
offering Florida growers.

GARLIC © aa» 
Plant | pound to 30 feet of row for a family of 3 or 4 people. 
Garlic sets come in the form of bulbs which are divided into 
so-called sets or cloves, which are planted the same as onion 
sets, from August to November, in rows 15 to 20 inches apart, 
setting the cloves 3 to 4 inches apart in the row, being sure not 
to cover the tips of the cloves. Garlic is a southern crop and 
does well in Florida. After thorough curing, the bulbs should 
be stored in a dry, airy place until used.

KALE 
Plant 1 ounce to 100 feet or row, or 1 packet to 25 feet of row 
for a family of 3 or 4 people. 
Culture. Kale is grown for greens. Plant in Florida from 
August to April, in rows 244 feet apart, and for large plants 
thin from 20 to 40 inches apart in the row. The plants are ex- 
tremely hardy, withstanding the coldest weather in any part of 
Florida. The plants also stand heat, and can be grown almost 
the year around in Florida, except in midsummer. 
DWARF BLUE CURLED SCOTCH. (70 days from seed 
sowing to edible stage.) This is the most desirable hardy variety 
for Florida and for the markets. It forms a handsome, dwarf, 
spreading plant with many long, heavy, finely curled, attrac- 
tive, blue-green, plumelike leaves. Our stock is exceptionally 
well-bred, uniform and very attractive. This vegetable ranks 
high in vitamin content.

KOHL RABI 
For the garden make short row plantings at different times. 
Plant | packet to 25 feet of row at each planting for a family 
of 3 to 4 people. 
Culture. Plant in row 1% to 2 feet apart, thinning from 
6 to 8 inches apart in the rows. Planting every ten days will 
give a succession of tender, fleshy stems until hot weather. 
Start fall planting September, and successive plantings can be 
made until early spring. 
WHITE VIENNA. (50 days from seed sowing to edible stage.) 
The fleshy stems, or so-called bulbs, are formed above ground 
and are very light green, very tender and delicate, and of best 
quality if used when about 2 inches in diameter, before fully 
grown. Prepare by boiling the same as turnips. They make a 
delicious and nutritious dish.

LEEK 
Sow 114 Ibs. in seedbed to plant an acre, or plant 3 Ibs. per 
acre in the field. 
For the garden sow 1 pkt. in seedbed for 120 plants to set 
50 feet of row, or plant 1 pkt. to 50 feet of row for a fzgnily 
of 3 to 4 people. 
Culture. Leek seed may be planted any time during the fall 
or winter directly in the field, or preferably in seedbeds, in 
good rich soil. When plants in seedbeds are six to eight inches 
high, transplant to rows 18 inches apart, and 5 to 6 inches 
apart in the row, or thin out to this spacing in the field. The 
long, thick, fleshy blanched stems of Leek when boiled and 
served with a butter or cream dressing are delicious. They are 
also used for seasoning and flavoring soups and stews, and in 
salads, and may be eaten like green onions. The stems are eight 
to ten inches long and 144 inches thick. When marketed they 
are tied in bunches with twelve Leeks to a bunch. 
LARGE AMERICAN FLAG. (140 days from seed planting 
in field or garden to full edible stage.) This is by far the 
heaviest yielding and the best variety for Florida growing 
conditions. It makes larger and thicker, more fleshy stems 
than other varieties.
