IS 



Brassicaoleracea Caulo-rapa ; Abou-roukba ; Kohl-rabi ; 

 Cruciferae. 



I : The var. arc chiefly distinguished! by the colour of the foliage 

 and form of stem. For all ordinary purposes the green-foliage var. are 

 the best, hut those with the purple-foliage are the fullest flavoured. 



II : By seed. 



III : June and July. 



IV : Forty days later. On ridges (35cm. apart and 45 between the 

 plants. 



V : When the swollen stems are from 2 3 inches in diametcr- 

 about .'J 1/2 months after transpl. 



VII : Not grown as a stock food little used by natives it pro- 

 ves a most acceptable vegetable among Europeans of the country 

 chiefly used in soups when served as a vegetable it has the flavour 

 of a Turnip with a somewhat nutty tendency. The stems ought to he 

 used before they become large, stringy or full of fibres. 



VII : Kohl-rabi produces a turnip-like swollen stem, just above 

 the ground. The plant is exceedingly hardy rich, moist, friable soil 

 - well manured ground in transplanting, seedlings sought to be plan- 

 ted shallow to encourage the stem to swell above ground regular 

 waterings I induce a quick growth, otherwise the stems obtained are 

 tough. The almost universal error in using kohl-rabi is to allow the tu- 

 berous stems to get too large-Only when partially grown they are soft 

 and palatable. 



Brassica oleracea bullata gemmifera ; Brouksil ; 

 Brussels sprouts ; Cruciferae 



Grown but little, for its small heads or rosettes produced along the 

 main stalk Chiefly consumed by Eupopeans. Generally very poorly 

 grown, through non-recognition of the first principle of success, which 

 is a long growing season. 



II : By seed ; a good crop of Sprouts is dependent very largely 

 on the strain of seed. 



Ill: June and July. 



IV : Forty t;> 45 days later-in ridges 65 cm. asunder, the plants 45
