Early Short Leaved 

 White Vienna Kohl-Rabi 



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 Turnips 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. Price, 10c. pkt., 30c. oz., 90c. Ji lb., 

 $3.00 lb.
