Kohl-Rabi 



or Turnip-Rooted Cabbage 



This is a favorite vegetable in Europe, where it is exten- 

 sively grown for feeding cattle, as well as for table use. The 

 bulb is formed above ground, and, if used when young and 

 tender, makes a most delicate dish for the table. One ounce 

 will eiiw line hundred and fifty feet of drill.

 flavor; extremely hardy and a
