• ' ■ ' One Ounce of Seed to loo Yards of Row. 



This plant, used both for tabic and for cattle feeding, is a Cabbage in which the cultural development has been directed 

 to the stalk, not to the leaf. "I'he enlarged stalks, taking >the globular form of Turnips, are more hardy and nutritious than 

 Turnips. Any good soil will produce a crop, the plants for which may be grown like Cabbage, in seedbeds for transplanting, 

 or sown in permanent position in 3-foot rows. Sow the seed for table use at any period when Cabbage may be sown. 

 Drill in rows at 2 feet and thin to 6 inches. For cattle feeding drill the seed in Midsummer for Autumn development. Yield 

 300 to 400 bushels to the acre. For the table, the half -grown plants are superior to Turnips, and are in season during June, 

 July and August or at periods when Turnips are not good.
