NO. 24-CROW GARDEN SEEDS
kale and mustard are two plants
that make fine early green's, and
" hich the home gardener will do well
to include in his list, says today's
bulletin from the National War Gar.
den Commission. They can be grown
very early, and will furnish the home
table with fresh vegetables about as
soon as anything that can be planted
There is wild mustard which is
about the earliest green thing that
can be found in the spring, and is
gathered for selling in the city
markets. This is little strong un.
less parboiled and we'll cooked.
The garden mustard is easily
grown. AS soon as thu ground can
be prepared sow the seed thinly in
the row and cover half an inch deep.
The earlier this can be planted the
better, because it grows rapidly in
cool weather and will soon be ready
for use. Since it quickly grows past
the tender stage for use, seed should
be sown every ten days for several
weeks in the spring and then again
in the fall for a fall crop.
Kale is more popular than mustard
says the bulletin. 1t will grown in
early spring also, and should be
planted as early as the ground can
be well prepared Use half an ounce
of seed to 100 feet of row, planting
it half an inch deep. Cultivate often,
and as soon as the leaves are large
enough, pull out the surplus plants
for use, leaving the others about six
inches apart, AS these plants grow
pick off the larger leaves for cook
ing, but let the plant keep growing
to furnish more leaves. The first
planting may last most of the season,
but It is desirable to make second
sowing two weeks after the first.
Two or three paintings should also
be made In the fall for late crop
The rows may be as near togeth-
er as Is inches on rich soil, but 20 or
