 This vegetable is very popular ^ith the European population of 

 this city, and largely cultivated here, It is used for soups, or pre- 

 pared 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 January and Febru- 

 ary. 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 Euta Bagas. 

 Early Tl'liite 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 

 large White or G-reen is not de- 

 sirable.
