473 EARLY WHITE SHORT- 

 LEAVED VIENNA 



A singular variety of Cabbage with a Turnip- 

 like bulb which forms immediately above the 

 ground. It is extremely tender and partakes 

 of the flavor of both Turnip and Cabbage. The 

 bulb is large enough to be eaten in from 10 

 to 12 weeks from sowing, and as they are more 

 tender and delicately flavored before fully 

 matured, it is advisable to make successive 

 sowings, rather than depend upon a standing 

 crop. Should be in every garden. (See 

 illustrations.)
