 color; the plants are of very dwarf, even growth, the leaves hug-

Iarly white VIENNA KOHL-RABI. 



This variety is one of the best, being very early, rapid growing, 

 tender and delicately flavored. The bulb is large enough to be eaten 

 in from 10 to 12 weeks from sowing and as they are more tender and 

 lelicately flavored before fully matured, it is advisable to make successive 

 sowings, rather than depend upon a standing crop. Price, 10c. pkt., 25c. oz., 

 75c. \ lb., $2.60 lb.
