“5 Currie’s SEED StorE, MitwauKEE, WISCONSIN C-. 
KOHL-RABI 
_ Sow the seed early in spring and transplant first of June in rows 18 inches apart and 
6 inches apart in the rows. 1 oz. to 3,000 plants. ‘ 
The seed may be sown in open ground in drills and the plants thinned out to 6 inches 
apart. One ounce of seed will sow 300 feet of drill. 
: KOHL-RABI is especially adapted to the back yard garden. It resembles a turnip 
in flavor, and is prepared for the table in the same way, but it does not grow underground, 
lorming a bulb instead, a few inches above the roots, trom which numerous leaf stalks shoot 
out. When kohl-rabi is about the size of a baseball, it is ready to be cut for the table. 
If allowed to grow much larger it gets tough and woody. Kohl-rabi will grow in almost 
any soil, and is ready for use in a few weeks from the time the seed is sown. Moreover, 
a succession can be obtained all summer by sowing seeds at intervals of two weeks, and the 
crop can be stored in sand in the cellar for winter.
