KALE 
I oz. will plant a row 100 ft. long; 2 lbs. 
per acre for Siberian, Long Seasons and 
Smooth; 5 lbs. per acre for Scotch. 
_ Curture: Scotch Kale is particularly sub- 
ject to the attacks of insects, both before and 
after coming up, and it is necessary to sow it 
very thickly. It should be sown from the 
middle of July to the middle of August. 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 always to have 
it tender. Sow 1% inch deep in rows 2% feet 
apart, allowing from 6 to 12 inches between ‘ 
the plants, and culttvate like cabbage. Kale 
Is a very strong feeder, and heavy manuring 
Is necessary to make a good crop. 
Vates Dwarf Blue Curled Scotch. (55 
days.) The leaves of our market-gardeners’ 
strain of this handsome dwarf Kale are of 
the darkest bluish green color. Very much 
more attractive than the bright green of 
the Green Scotch Kale. The leaves are 
mntricately and most beautifully curled. 
It stands for a longer time in the spring 
before turning yellow and commands a 
higher price in all markets. Pkt. 10c; 
oz. 30c; Ib. 80c; Ib. $2.25, postpaid. 
Smooth. Sometimes called Early Hanover 
Salad or Spring Sprouts. Our refined strain, 
which we have developed and grow for 
critical market-garden trade, has come to 
untversal 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. It is 
rather slow in running to seed. Although 
usually sown in the early spring, it may be 
sown in the early or late fall, for it will 
stand cold weather. Pkt. 10c; oz. 15c; 
Mlb. 30c; lb. 75c, postpaid. 
Favorite Curled Siberian. (60 days.) 
Hardy, rapid-growing and productive sort 
with bluish green foliage. Our market- 
gardeners’ strain is very slow to run to 
seed in the spring. The shape and curling 
of the leaf give rt the appearance of an 
immense feather. Pkt. 10c; oz. 20c; 4b. 
55c; Ib. $1.50, postpaid. 
Long Seasons. Sometimes called Late Han- 
over. (75 days.) A hardy, slow-growing, 
smooth Kale with notched or tmdented 
leaves. It is usually sown in August and 
September for use the following spring, 
but when sown in August under favorable 
conditions, it may be cut in the late fall. 
It can be cut for market long after other 
varieties of Kale and greens have gone to 
seed. Pkt. 10c; oz. 30c; 14Ib. 80c; Ib. $2.25, 
postpaid. 
The cost of the vegetable seed is 
such a small part of the total invest- 
ment made in your garden that it 
pays to plant the very best. Make
