Due to hybrid uniformity and<br />

vigor, Flash offers processors<br />

and fresh-market growers an<br />

early-maturing, highly-uniform<br />

Vates-type hybrid. The slowest<br />

of our collards to bolt, Flash<br />

allows growers repeated heavy<br />

harvests of fancy, dark leaves.<br />

This hybrid kale features dark,<br />

blue-green foliage with an<br />

attractive, full curl on all<br />

or stretch. It is suitable for<br />

hand stripping or cutting for<br />

fresh market, mechanical<br />

harvesting and processing.<br />

Blue Ridge is widely adapted<br />

to all kale producing areas.<br />
