GARDEN LESSON NO. 81.

One of the most important of gar
den crop cIassifcations is the cole
group of vegetables. These include
cabbage, kale, Brussels sprouts. caul-
flower and kohlrabi.
All are easily grown, require cool.
moist soil and thrive best in cool
seasons.
They are hardy and survive light
frosts.
All should be started in seedbeds
and transplanted to the outdoors
after getting a good start. The ex-
ceptions are kale and kohlrabi, al
though some gardeners start kale in
hotbed for extra early harvest.
Cole crops are gross feeders on both
plant food and moisture. Plenty OF
welI-rooted manure must be spaded
into the ground. and if the season
is dry, water must be poured near
the roots-never on the plant leaves.
Among the best early varieties OF
cabbage are Charleston, Wakefield,
| Newark. Flat Dutch. Henderson,
Early Summer and Early Spring.
Premium Flat Dutch. Autumn King,
and Succession are we'll thought OF
for late harvest.
