A small quantity of Kohl Rabi (Brassica Carlo Rapes, fig. 158) is 

 sometimes grown at my garden for the cattle. Occasionally we have 

 cooked it by way of experiment, but it is, at best, an indifferent vegetal. 

 The seed is sown in February and planted out in. May, when by autumn 

 the bulbs are fairly formed. It is particularly adapted for dry 

 summers, as the hotter and drier the summer, the finer the bulbs. 



We always grow a limited amount of Kale (Brassica oleraced}.
