KOHLRABI 



(Turnip-rooted Cabbage) Kohl-Rabi, Ger. 



Chou Rave, Fr. 



Colde Nabo o Nabicol, Sp. 



CULTURE— This turnip-rooted member of the Cabbage tribe is far superior to turnips in both flavor and keeping qualities. It 

 will never grow bitter and it is of far more delicate flavor. As early in the spring as the ground can be put in good garden condition, 

 sow it in rows like Radishes, Carrots or any other root crops. Thin the seedlings to stand 4 inches apart in the row, allowing 18 to 24 

 inches between the rows. The product is ready for use when the bulbs average 2 to 2\ inches in diameter. The thick outer skin should 

 be removed before boiling. Serve just like Turnips. One ounce of seed will sow a drill of about 300 feet.
