This vegetable is very popular with the European population of this city, and 
largely cultivated here. It is used for soups, or prepared in the same manner as 
Cauliflower. For late fall and winter use 
it should be sown from the end of July

during January and February. When 
the young plants are one month old 
transplant them in rows one foot apart, 
and about the same distance in the rows. 
They also grow finely ifsown broad-cast 
and thinned out when young, so that 
the plants are not too crowded ; or, they 
may be sown in drills, and cultivated 
the same as Ruta Bagas.
