CULTURE—This vegetable is very popular 
with the European population of our city, and 
largely cultivated here. It is used for soups, 
or prepared in the same manner as Cauli- 
flower. 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 February. 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 
broadcast and thinned out when young, so 
that the plants are not too , 
crowded, or, they may be 
sown in drills, and cultivated 
the same as Ruta Bagas.
