KOHL-RABI, OR TURNIP-ROOTED CABBAGE. 



Chou Navet (Fr.), Kohl-Rabi (Ger.), Col de Nabo (Sp.) 



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 till the 

 middle of October; for spring 

 use, during Jauuary and Feb- 

 ruary. 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 if sown 

 broad-cast and thinned out 

 when young, so that the plants 

 are not too crowded; or they 

 may be sown in drills and cul- 

 tivated the same as Ruta Ba- 

 gas. 



Early Wiiite Vienna, 

 the finest variety of all, and 

 the only kind I keep. It is 

 early, forms a smooth bulb, 

 and has few small leaves. 

 The so-called larg-e White or 

 Green is not desirable. 



Early White Vienna Kohl-rabi. 



LEEK. 



PoiREAu (Fr.), Lauch (Ger.), Puero (Sp.) 



A species of Onion, highly esteemed for flavoring soups. 

 Should be sown broad-cast and transplanted, when about six to 

 eight inches high, into rows a foot apart and six inches apart in 

 the rows. Should be planted at least four inches deep. They 

 require to be well cultivated in order to insure large roots. Sow 

 in October for winter and spring use, and in January and Feb- 

 ruary for summer.

 most generally grown.

 head.
