 has proved of the greatest value to the Southern truckers 

 and shippers. It is remarkable for its vigorous growth and 

 productiveness, is very hardy and will stand more cold 

 weather than the N'f-w York Improved. The hot sun does 

 not blight the blossoms. It grows from 3 to 4 feet 

 high, erect and sturdy, free from thorns. Fruit is 

 large, oblong in shape and purple, though not so deep a 

 color as the X<=w York Improved, but keeps its fresh- 

 ness and condition much longer than any other variety.

IMPROVED KOHL-RABI 



CTLTtRE. Sow in pring, in rows 18 inches apart, 

 afterward thinning the plants to 8 or 10 inches. If the 

 weather is suitable the thinnings may be planted, but it 

 is considered difficult to transplant. Keep the weeds 

 down, and when the thickened stems above ground are 2 

 or 3 inches through they are fit to eat, and should be 

 used at once, being tough when old. Cook same as tur- 

 nips. 



IMPROVED KOHL-RABI. When young and tender, 

 and properly prepared for the table, it is almost equal 

 to cauliflower. Besides, it is a certain crop, requiring 

 no more care or cultivation than a crop of cabbage. 

 For an early crop sow in a hot bed early in spring, and 

 treat the same as directions given for early cabbage. For 

 fall crop sow in June. Pkts., 5 and 10c; ounce, 15c; 2 /4 lb

BLACK BEAUTY. The earliest and best of all large fruited Egg 

 Plants. It is valuable alike to the private planter' and the extensive 

 grower for market. Black Beauty produces fruits fully as large and 

 ready for use ten days to two weeks earlier than the New York Im- 

 proved Purple. The plants branch very freely near the ground and 

 grow in well-rounded bushes. The grand, large fruits are thick, of most 

 attractive form, as shown in the illustration. The skin is a rich lus- 

 trous purplish black— the satin gloss and rich co'.oring adding greatly to 

 the beauty of these "eggs." The intensely brilliant coloring is uniform 

 over the whole fruit and does not fade or change to a lighter color. 

 Truckers generally are delighted with "Black Beauly." Pkts., 5 and 

 10c; 1 ounce, 50c'; 'i lb., $1.50.
