 sown in September and treated like Spinage, although 



Tall Green Curled Scotch. 



in the South they will live and grow throughout the 

 winter without protection, or they may be planted and 

 treated like winter cabbage, and will continue growing 

 till very late. If cut when frozen, thaw out in cold 

 water before boiling. 



Extra Curled German Dwarf Green. 



Tall Green Curled Scotch.— This is very hardy, 

 and improved by a moderate frost. About two feet 

 high, with an abundance of dark green, curled and 

 wrinkled leaves. It stands the winters in the Middle 

 States without any protection.

 and dwarf sorts. Forming a medium sized head of 



German Dwarf Green. 



nicely curled leaves, which are kept well off the ground, 

 but at the same time so compact as not to suffer from 

 frost. 



German Dwarf Purple. — A dwarf, compact plant 

 composed of a mass of large, finely frilled leaves of a 

 deep purple color. Tender, and of excellent quality; so 

 handsome that it is frequently grown for ornament.

 dwarf, compact. Leaves numerous, long, of deep bright 

 green color, and a mass of frilling so that often they are 

 as thick as wide, and are of the best quality.

KOHL. RHBI, 



Fr., Chou-rave, Ger., Kokl-rabi. 



The Kohl Rabi is a vegetable intermediate between 

 the cabbage and turnip, and combines the flavor of both. 

 The edible part is a turnip shaped bulb formed by the 

 swelling of the 

 stem. When used 

 for the table, this 

 should be cut when 

 quite small, as it is 

 then very tender 

 and delicate, but if 

 allowed to reach 

 its full size it 

 becomes tough and 

 stringy. 



Culture. — Sow 

 in light, rich soil, 

 as early as possible , 

 in drills sixteen 

 inches apart, and 

 when well estab- 

 lished, thin to six 

 inches apart in the 

 row. One or two 

 Early White Vienna. plantings at inter- 



vals of ten days will give a succession until hot 

 weather, when they fail to grow well; but plantings 

 may be made the latter part of July for fall use. 



Early White 

 Vienna. — Very 

 early, small, 

 handsome, white 

 bulb. Best early 

 variety for table. 



Early Purple 

 Vienna. -Near- 

 ly identical with 

 the last except 

 in color, which 

 is a bright pur- 

 ple, with the 

 leaf stems 

 tinged with pur- 

 pie. 



Large Green. 



— Hardy, quite 

 late, and used 

 for feeding stock. 

 Bulbs large, weighing eight to ten pounds, whitish- 

 green in color; leaves large and numerous.
