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 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 pre- 

 pared 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.

GREEN CURLED ENDIVE 



The "Chicoree Frisee" 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 cover' 

 ing the fulhgrown 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 Yz ^^ch. 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 continuous supply after cool weather, and with a 

 shght covering the plants may be kept in good condition well into November.
