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. 
487 DWARF CURLED. “Vates” Strain. 
55 days. A greatly improved kale from the Virginia 
Truck Experiment Station, much superior to the 
usual strains. The uniform, compact plants have an 
attractive dark bluish-green color and do not turn 
yellowish in the fall. Leaves finely curled and of 
delicious flavor. Kale is highly recommended by nutri- 
tion experts for its exceptionally high food value and 
vitamin content, and the excellent quality of this 
strain makes it the ideal one to grow.

LEEK 
With our seed, it is easy to grow the finest leek, much 
prized for its subtle sweet flavor. It grows in a long 
thick stem, which is blanchéd 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. 
498 SWISS SPECIAL (New). Large, Vigorous Strain. 
The longer, thicker stalks of this new strain make it 
far superior to Elephant or any of the many similar 
strains offered today. Very hardy and vigorous, its 
broad, clear white stalks are particularly delicious 
and tender, and this fine new variety can be highly 
recommended both for home and market.

THIN 
Swiss Special Leek

flavoring. The base of the plant is a large bulb, having 
a pleasant anise-like flavor, and makes an excellent 
vegetable either cooked or fresh in salads. 
Sow in rows 114 to 2 feet apart and thin to stand 6 to 
8 inches apart. Sow in rich soil in May or June, and 
again a month later for fall use. When the plants are 
half grown, draw earth up to them to blanch the bulbs.

strain of the finest quality. The plants are vigorous, low- 
growing with spreading branches and the bulbs are very

Early White Vienna Kohl Rabi 
KOHL RABI 
Kohl Rabi produces a large bulb on the stem which is 
used as a vegetable and also for stock feeding. If used 
while young, the bulb is delicious. An excellent way to 
cook it is to cut the bulbs into small cubes and boil until 
tender. Serve with a clear butter or cream sauce. 
The seed may be sown up to July in rows about 18 
inches apart, and the plants thinned 6 to 8 inches apart 
in the rows. The seed may also be sown late in April or 
even May for an early summer crop.

ready to use when they are the size of a small apple; the
