KOHL-EABI. 



Brassica caulo-rapa. 



The Kohl-Rabi or Turnip-rooted Cabbage is not 

 generally known or cultivated in this country. It is 

 evidently a hybrid between the Cabbage and Turnip, 

 and to some extent partakes of the characteristics of 

 both. 



For early use, we sow the seed in a hot-bed about 



KOHL-BABL 



the middle of March, transplant once, into another 

 bed in April and plant in the open ground early in 

 May. When the Kohl-Rabi is two-thirds grown, if 

 boiled and sliced, it will be found tender, more deli- 

 cate in flavor, than either Cabbage or Turnip and not 

 unlike Cauliflower.
