GREEN CURLED ENDIVE 



The "Chicor^e FirisSe" of the French. 



An excellent salad plant, available long after the season for Lettuce, 

 and more easily grown. The flavor is pleasantly bitter, stimulating and 

 zest-giving. Is used also boiled as greens. 



Green Curled is the best for general use, and is easily blanched by 

 covering the full-grown plants with boards or pieces of slate. After 

 severe frost the plants may be removed and planted closely in a cellar 

 for winter use. The seed should be sown in rows about 2 feet apart and 

 ^ Inch deep in the drill. When sufficiently grown, thin the plants out to 

 8 inches apart and cultivate thoroughly while growing. A very early 

 crop may be grown by starting the seed in hotbed, greenhouse, or window 

 box. Good results come from early spring sowing, and even better, when 

 treated as a fall crop. Successional sowings during July give a continu- 

 ous supply after cool weather, and with a slight covering the plants may 

 be kept in good condition well into November. Pkt., lOe; oz., 15e; ^ lb.,

Kohl-Rabi 



Sow the seed early in spring and trans- 

 plant 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 the 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, forming a 

 bulb instead, a few inches above the roots, 

 from 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.
